Humanity in the Cold War

The Cold War is a heavy topic. The two camps are incompatible with each other. It is not a simple confrontation between systems and consciousness, but also the hostility and indifference of the people on both sides. Of course, the public is at risk of being fooled and brainwashed by the government. The background of this film, the erection of the Berlin Wall, the shooting down of U2, including the subsequent Bay of Pigs incident and the Cuban missile crisis, are all unimaginable and experienced by our generation. A real story, a real ordinary person, in another way, let us go back to understand this history, and also have a new understanding of human society.
What impressed me the most was the dialogue of the protagonist Donovan's lawyer. First, when he refused to cooperate with CIA agents, he used the rule-first point of view; second, in the face of the Supreme Court, he believed that the confidence of the system was more persuasive The public and even deter the enemy; Donovan has idealized liberalized and humanized values, which may be the most proud and proud side of Americans. However, in reality? ! Even now that the Cold War has ended for many years, the establishment of the Anti-Terrorism Act has once again involved Americans in a war that is more secretive and bloodier than the Cold War. The actions of the U.S. government are still as practical and self-serving as ever, and there is absolutely no previous Soviet Union. Confidence and composure after disintegration. History seems to be repeating in another form, but will the ending be the same as the last time?
I sincerely admire the extremely universal values ​​of the character of the protagonist of the movie. Some things seem small, seem to be alone, and seem to be out of tune with reality, but as long as there is time to temper and accumulate, its role may also be immeasurable, and has continued. Humans always have something in common, different from animals, especially in society.
Maybe this movie is suitable for audiences who know history or are interested in history, but if more audiences try to understand this history through this movie and think about the current situation, it will be a more where the value is.
I have always felt that the films and characters played by Tom Hanks have the meaning of representing the main values ​​of the United States, from "Forrest Gump" to "Saving Private Ryan", this movie is also the same.
