Thoughts after watching Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
I am trying to improve my writing skills, hope somebody help me correct this article. Thanks.
Finally, last night I watched this film, unfortunately could not go to the cinema to see 120 frames version. I believe this movie has a charm, it makes me feel sad but not sorrowful after watching it. Unlike other movies there is no relieved, I just can’t let it go. I can feel that somebody threw a stone to my heart and the stone keep sinking. Our society will eventually run towards the inconceivable future, and we can do nothing about this.
I like to write options with anonymous in Zhihu (Chinese version of Quora), especially when facing controversial topic. I am afraid of endless argue and tearing, I am not that kind of “Smart” guy, I can not write thousands of words to fight back like some famous user in ZhiHu.
Every time when I write something, no matter what it is, there will be lots of people who disagree with me leave evil comments under the article. They can catch every uncertainty “loophole” in your article and slam on you.
This is the war of language, absurd, isn’t it?
I don’t know if other people feel some like me, sometimes I am thinking our human beings will finally go to a war even worse maybe end our world. I can remember, when I was in high school, the most popular idea is our world is flat. At that time in China, everything is under inflated. We have tasted the sweetness of reform and opening-up. Every people are talking globalization, and how the future will benefit from this. I thought after this we will go to Pax Romana.
However, de-globalization comes, more and more terrorism around the world.
One of our foot is already wetted.
A few days ago, the Australia Senate refuse the request for a plebiscite for same-sex marriage. Unlucky, Australia will host a postal vote for same-sex which will cost millions of dollars. Just this morning one headline came into my eye, Sugar Baby (Turnbull’s Chinese direct translate) says Australia would come to the aid of the US if North Korea start an attack against the western power.
The politician doesn’t want two people who loved each other get married, but they can easily start a war. Another absurd.
Once in the English class, we are talking about politics, I asked my teacher if Australia prime minister pass a new rule that people really don’t like, is there any method to stop it? She thought for a while and said, “Maybe no.”
Maybe no, that is our fate.
