"I want all this marked on my body. We're the real countries, not the boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men. I know you'll come and carry me out into the Palace of Winds. That's what I've wanted: to walk in such a place with you, with friends, on the earth without maps. "

I want all these to be engraved on my body. We are the real country, not the country named after the person in power as shown by the borders drawn on the map. I know you will come back to pick me up and stand in the wind. This is what I want-walking with you on such a land, with friends, on an earth without a map. "
As a black man, as a radical who is famous for making political films, Spike Lee may show a more eye-catching political stance than Minghella. This stance may not be as simple and moving as the anarchism revealed by Catherine. But it is also more cautious and rational. The film does not preach the so-called religious ideal of Muslims to save people of color, for which Malcolm has worked his entire life, but satirizes the hypocritical nature of all religions by showing Malcolm's tragic ending. It was Christian at first. When Malcolm cursed God desperately in the confinement room, another evangelist eagerly awaited his conversion. After Malcolm was released from prison in 1952, he has become a fanatical Muslim. . He was convinced that the great Muhammad could save 24 million black Americans from fire and water, until the great Muhammad acquiesced in the execution of this political star who increasingly threatened the pope’s authority. He had dedicated his life to those who did not know him before. Ordinary.
Just like his father who fired his guns against the Ku Klux Klan, Malcolm X lived like a man from beginning to end. He made a sacrifice that a man could only make. But he died unjustly. He did not die for himself, nor did he die for the people who loved him. He became the cannon fodder of the historical process. He was a fool who was deceived and harmed, even though he was noble.
In the final analysis, there is no reason to ask a man to sacrifice for some seemingly noble ideal. How can someone ask you to do this? Please stand up and remind him politely: Can you practice it yourself before making the request? If he doesn't dare, then he is a hypocritical bastard, so you can disregard any of the hypocritical bastard's remarks. If one day all men and women can do this, there will be no more Nazis, KKK, Taliban, Five Mao Party, and Zheng Jichao Film and Television Base on the planet.
One day all people will understand: if you implement collectivism, you may betray your closest comrades in arms, and eventually be betrayed by the collective power; if you believe in nationalism, you will be treated by the state machine Controlled by the controller, when you shout to boycott Japanese goods, your ignorance is already hurting your family and yourself; if you are a racist, you are the most terrible murder weapon in the world; if you are fanatical Religious believer, you will still bring disaster to this world...
So
If you cannot uphold the purpose of all mankind, then you can only act according to your own will. Although this is not the best choice, it is the least bad choice.
