Weisman's interrogation skills are excellent and his insight is top-notch. When he sat on the side and looked at all this without showing any expression, it was not a pair of eyes, he saw too much truth. Twice persuading people, both in one fell swoop. But the same person was persuaded both times, with exactly the opposite purpose. Language is an invisible sword. People have realized this a long time ago. There are many smart people who live for debate. They think that debate and words have the ability to inspire people. Even my Lord in the Bible said, listen. Weisman sometimes says that a horse is a horse, and sometimes a deer is a horse. The charm of his language cannot be matched by Zhao Gao. But he seemed to slap himself in the face when he looked at the people who were being played between applause by his words. The director does not seem to be optimistic about the role of language. Language brings disaster and betrayal. In the film, the writer's confession to the actress is beautiful. You can believe me, but because of the fear in your heart, let the words float in the air. In the air, if you can't protect yourself, just let it fall to the ground. Whether the most real feelings of apology, repentance, anger, showing love, etc. can be expressed in words. If you can, there is no thank you to say, and the good man concerto at the end.
A man who listens carefully to the concerto of the good man cannot be a bad man. This was also said in World War II, but it became Bach. Music has the role of education, all things recognize it, and other arts do the same. At this time, artists, whether they are painting, singing, or writing, are all part of philosophy, and they want to express an emotion, an emotion that contends with this fear. Only when you are no longer afraid can you stand up, speak the truth, and pursue the truth. And language, when everyone does not trust each other, becomes an accomplice to the rule.
There have been many times in the past, and there will be in the future. But the director is benevolent, the people in his films are actually not bad, and he has always left us all kinds of clues, saying that these are coming to an end.
That book is for Weisman, this movie is for us.
