ask why

First of all, purely from the evaluation of the film itself, 5 stars to 3 stars, 10 points to 6.5 points. Director Paul Greenglass is good at partial documentary films. But "contemporaneous" I think is also an indicator to consider any art work, you can add 1-2 points. The film tells a fact relatively neutrally.

But I want to stress that the movie is not a fact, the movie is made. The fact that you see is the fact that the director gave you.

So let's ask a few whys.

Why did this shooting happen?

Why did the director make such a movie?

Why are we discussing these?

Why did this shooting happen? First, not for fun, not pure evil. Officials say it is the most personal homicide since World War II. What is his purpose then? Does he truly represent his or his group's interests? Or is it just being used by other groups? I don't study history and politics. If you have some insights, please let me know.

Why did the director make such a movie? The ass decides the head. Another point, as can be clearly seen from the recent Oscar-winning films, is that there is a kind of "political correctness" in the United States, race and feminism, although these two issues are not on the same level. The ultimate in art has two directions, pure art, and art of thought, and this film is neither. The former did not make the best use of the art of film, and obviously the director had the ability to do better; the latter film did not express a strong personal point of view.

Why are we discussing these? Of course, after all, some people will say "we won't", that is a free choice, and I also recommend that you don't expand this issue and waste your energy on unnecessary things at present. Any accommodating or absorbing is a matter behind.

Has the world changed for the better?

One thing I would like to remind is: don’t equate social development with the improvement of people’s living standards, don’t be deceived by the reference given, see relative improvement, and don’t play games with those who set the rules of the game. The United States, the richest and most advanced capitalist country in the world, still has a large gap between the rich and the poor. Including some other capitalist countries. How did their primitive accumulation come about? How are the cyclical crises of capitalism mitigated?

Market economy and planned economy are just a means, a means to better develop productive forces, and cannot be equated with any social form.

How are you from the big city? How are you from the small town? Are both material and spiritual as rich?

Do you have your own will? The will not to be manipulated by the outside world? Are you able to exercise your will without being bound?

Did you slay a dragon and then become a dragon too?

I miss Comrade Marx.

    Mother's dereliction of duty and cognitive errors are an important part of Anders' antisocial personality. Norway is really a highly civilized country, lawyers and laws are too "human". In my court, such a person would definitely be sentenced to death, and there is no room for defense. The trauma of terrorist incidents to the dead and wounded is permanent. Norway is too suitable for crime, 87 people died (Baidu data), hundreds of casualties, the maximum sentence of 21 years in prison, after 7 years you can go out for weekends, 14 years can be parole, go to prison and live in a suite, eat, read newspapers, exercise on treadmills, play computer There is no delay in the game, and you can go to university to study politics, and then a weekly allowance of 300 yuan. . . Anders (the actor with the same name as the murderer) did a great job
