"The Philadelphia Story" -- the law! Justice! Human rights!

 

    In a long English learning website movie forum today, see "the Philadelphia Story" link, 10 years ago, when he heard of University and film famous sung by a American blue collar emperor said the famous singer Bruce Springsteen the film theme song --Streets of Philadephia,At the time of the melody was obscure songs, lyrics very deep impression, but haven't seen the film, only know its content with the legal aids, homosexuality, the relevant keywords. Today is the first time that the film again, very deep impression!

   American society rooted in the hearts of the people of the "Declaration of independence" spirit makes me shocked! The declaration of independence, "all men are created equal! Or, are equal before law, whether he (she) sexual orientation, color, gender. Just like in the movie the judge in the trial said: "on the court, regardless of race, color, creed and justice, sexual orientation."

   Writing this blog to explore the objective is not to "gay" in Chinese social carefully conceal mentioning this sensitive topic, just feel after watching the movie is played by Tom Hanks protagonist -- AIDS infected homosexual barrister Andrew deeply shocked! The film did not curry favour by claptrap by gay this guise to do stunt, even with the sexual love between lovers are rarely involved, the film revolves around the "this sentence even woman and children all know everyone is equal before the law" truth can really be implemented such a topic in society. First played by famous black actor Denzel Washington with lawyer Joe, after seeing have been due to infection with AIDS was the boss dismissed Andrew and learned that he had AIDS, very surprised, holding a just and Andrew hand arm was wrong and, as we had expected, he rejected Andrew call for help. But when he was in the library to see Andrew dragged his illness was thumbing through the legal information to defend their legitimate rights and interests, he was shocked...... Can see, his heart in the struggle -- exactly from this ill Gay dying away? Or the courage to stand up to fight for justice? Finally, an excellent lawyer justice conquers fear, he became a lawyer for Andrew! In the bar, facing the challenge of person, Joe said: "those people (gay) also make me sick, but some people break the law, you should remember that law!"

   Sometimes, think, the power of the human spirit have how old? People should have faith? We in the end for what? Read an article, said China is a country without faith, looks like this is a good thing for those...... But when a society of people give up at the end of a moral bottom line, to out what money can do, don't you think this is really a than heresy also terrible, horrible things?

   Just see about this movie on douban.com, feel a titled "America legal system and moral conflict --" the Philadelphia Story "" comment written in a very deep, in the article the author wrote the last paragraph -- "America's founding fathers in the" Declaration of independence "is mentioned, all men are created equal! After more than two hundred years history, on the contrary the provisions have not been completely implemented,, racial discrimination is always shrouded in clouds over the America. However, Americans can be aware of these problems, some people are brave enough to stand out against the. On the issue of racial discrimination, Mrs. Parkes bravely to apartheid said no, Martin Ruud Kim's non violent resistance movement makes the final court ruling unconstitutional racial segregation in Tennessee. It is because of American has a complete legal system, when the other discrimination or prejudice, as long as there are people who dare to stand up for their rights, as long as the legitimate rights and interests, will eventually get the support, and gradually understand the inclusive society. Racial discrimination is such, homosexuality is such, AIDS is such. This may be an important factor to American powerful. For Chinese also is so, if there is no complete legal system, not really make the rule of law, the so-called harmonious society can only be empty talk!"

   Law. Justice! Human rights! -- these in the United Nation's eyes are considered more important than life things, on the other side of the Pacific side is so scarce! Of course, back then, people for hundreds of years to get things we just thirty years of reform and opening up can have, this is not reality. Being an optimistic man, I'm looking forward to that day!!!
