-Who is the judge? Who is the judge?

-The judge is God.

-Why is he God? Why is he God?

- Because he decides who wins or loses not my opponent.

Because he decides who win, who failed, not my opponent

-? Who is your opponent who is your opponent?

-He doesn't exist.

-Why does he not exist? Why does he not exist?

-Because he is a mute distant voice the truth that I speak.

Because it is against me, but said the voice of truth

-! Speak the truth to say only the truth

-! Speak the truth just say the truth



more than three times the climax of the film is the performance of the theme of The line is the invincible declaration of the debate team of Wiley College. In the movie, when Thorson was training the theme declaration speech scene where the opponents of the debate team did not exist, the actor Thorson traveled in the boat like the lake, and all four debaters verbally trained with foreign objects in their mouths. Perhaps, when we talk about the subject, we often exercise restraint and implied puns. That is to say, when we speak, we will not let go of the speech with all our strength, and we will converge. The content in this mouth may mean that speech has a pun and deep meaning in addition to the surface. This may be Debate is the greatness and mystery of speech.

The movie itself is not only a work of passion, but also a work of greatness and ambition.

That famous poet Tolson, starring Denzel Washington, is not only a poet, but also a leader. He educates Lowe from brutal bravery training to virtuousness and retrieves the lost rational thought: Keep the body, take the mind. It's not just what we want.

Speak the truth. Words are swords. Speak the truth. Words are like swords and halberds. It is the greatest passion and greatness of the movie.

Little Farmer witnessed the riot at Tolson's rally and was silent in front of his father after returning home and couldn't tell the truth. Facing the reprimand of the doctor's father, Little Farmer's counterattack was also very powerful. He wittily listed the humiliating facts of his father in the black injustice to fight. "Why should I have done nothing wrong to apologize? Like apologize that you punch the pig farmer?"

In the last movie, the court debate at Harvard University, in the debate "Civil Disobedience more powerful than just war", the small law In the critical final debate, Mo again adopted the same method as rebutting his father, using the black lynching and burning incident that he had personally experienced and made the strongest counterattack against his opponent. To tell the truth, let the words be accompanied by the power of the sword.

However, this is just the debate itself. To rise to another height, it is the legend of the film adapted from a real story. In addition to Lowe being a fictitious character, Tolson, Farmer, and Samantha, not only did the debate team maintain a ten-year long-term undefeated record, but their achievements have reached their ideal heights. Seven years after the Harvard University debate, James Farmer Jr. founded the Racial Equality Congress in 1942 and became the leader of the civil rights movement. In 1961, Samantha Buko became a lawyer. Melville Tolson became a world-famous poet. He continued to work for the Southern Texas Farmers' Union. At the end of 1936, there were 31,000 members in 7 states. For 10 consecutive years, the Debating Team of Wiley College has remained undefeated.

----Who is your opponent?

---The opponent does not exist.

The truth behind the debate is that the themes and truths they are trying to defend and debate are truly reflected in the facts. Therefore, it can be said to prove the true power of the words themselves as swords and swords.

The elder Dr. James encountered white farmer blackmail during a picnic in the suburbs and suffered humiliation under the eyes of his son, Young Farmer. However, in the scene of organizing non-violent and orderly resistance to rescue Tolson, his non-violent strategy like Gandhi finally won him back his strength and dignity. This is also very different from the scenes in the movie "Car Crash" where black people suffer humiliation due to racial discrimination.

The most elegant scene of intense debate: It was the one where Samantha debated that blacks should be allowed to study at a state university, and the end of the credits, Farmer argued at Harvard University that "civil disobedience is more powerful than just war"-- ----

St. Augustine said:

St. Augustine said:

"An unjust law is no law at all."

Which means

I have a right, even a duty to resist.

With violence or civil disobedience...

You should pray I choose the later.

"Unfair laws cannot be called laws at all . "

That means I have the right, or even the responsibility, to resist

with violence? Or use civil disobedience?

You should pray, I chose the latter.



This last paragraph of sonorous and powerful statement enumerated the humiliation facts they witnessed after black people were lynched. The debate team not only defeated the Harvard University team in the discourse itself, but the more meaningful is that small Farmer and other debating debaters have devoted themselves to the cause of racial equality of blacks in their lives, and achieved the final victory for the real dignity of blacks. . Words not only win in words themselves, but also win in actions and be fulfilled.

The film not only has power and passion, but also has poetic heart and tenderness. The beauty of its text allows people to appreciate the tone and style of the English language; it makes people appreciate the eloquence and eloquence of the debater's speech, and at the same time appreciate it. To the outstanding looks of the black actors.



. I am ------ the darker brother I am a black brothers ------

the I Live, and the I EAT Well, the I Grow strong and I eat incense live well, I am very strong;.

.Besides, they'll see how beautiful I am.

How beautiful I am. Black brothers, how beautiful I am.

This kind of beauty is in Denzel Washington's pipe-biting posture, and it is also in the quiet back behind the prosperous splendor at the end of the film, who turned and left alone.

Debate is blood war, it's combat. Debate is very harsh, it's combat.

Your weapons are words. Your weapons are words.



One of the legendary heirs is Melville Tolson, the most accomplished poet in the United States, because the beautiful verses in the movie are also everywhere:

Beauty----

I heard the Old Man say

all that is beautiful drifts away ...like the waters.

About beauty:

I heard very old and very old people say that

beauty will flow like water.



History----

History is a nightmare from I'm trying to awake.

"History is a nightmare, I always Want to wake up from it"

Self-pity

Self-pity ----

the I Never Sorry for the SAW Wild Things Itself.

"I've never seen wild things very self-pity"

they must complete what they must do in

order to do what they want What we do is

education is the only way out
