If you don't believe in religion, don't talk about doctrine.
The 2016 edition of "Bin Hui", if you don't pull the teachings, is very worth watching.
It is especially worth seeing for people who do not believe in any religion.
Power changes destiny?
Still is
Values change destiny?
In this movie, from slaves to generals, from orphans to princes, from maids to ladies, each character gives his own answer.
What I most agree with is the answer of the Roman consul, the old sable:
1. The shortcut to power is to choose the values of those in power.
The orphan, who chose the values of the Roman Iron-Blooded Order, became a Roman general.
2. The ultimate embodiment of power is a value that the whole people cheer.
Slaves win the generals, the whole people cheer or Roman values, the rules are fair, the rewards and punishments are clear, and anyone has a path to class advancement.
3. Any kind of value needs a hero as a spokesperson.
In the arena, every carriage gladiator who appears is a spokesperson for their respective values.
4. The conflict between power and values is the fate of human beings.
The land that nurtured Binxu was his lifelong value, and when he betrayed it, he went from a prince to a slave, and when he believed in it, he went from a slave to a hero.
5. The clash of civilizations is uncivilized.
1 Roman was beaten, and although it was only a punch, it had to be repaid with the lives of 10 non-Romans.
The only manifestation of civilization in the clash of civilizations is, 1:10, or 1:20, we are to obey the ruling of the Roman consuls, who have the final say.
6. Don't envy my power.
Without Rome, I would be the clown in the movie.
Because of Rome, I am the God of survival and destruction.
7. You can call me "Old Mink"
But, I'm not from the Northeast.
I am an actor in "Power and Values".
