这部片子好像是宽慰、鼓舞台湾人说:「这是场非法的战争,你本身是无罪的。」

感觉被片中的对白感动了。

——「不用道歉,你又没有做错」「不,正因为我没有做任何对的事。」

——「为了阻止无辜的人因一场非法的战争而牺牲性命,怎么都不能算是有罪。」

又感觉造意者设定主人翁在台湾度过童年的身世背景并非偶然。因为你会感受到台湾人拒绝「大国霸凌」的勇气,正是这个世界极度稀缺的,正像主人翁的同僚对她的行动与受难感到负欠的同一理由—也因为那是超越一般人能有的坚持与毅力。台湾值得正直的国家这样的道歉或仰慕。

台湾不正因为面对一场无声的战争而饱受煎熬吗?这部片子在台上映的意义就好像是宽慰、鼓舞台湾人说:「这是场非法的战争,你本身是无罪的」。

是的,如果有一条法律告诉人们说「你必须接受并吞,否则就是违法」,那么这法律必定也是非法的,再怎么反抗也不构成犯罪。如果法律连最基本的正义都不能主持,只会给人下套,那么不要这法律也罢,人民也没有服从的义务。

还想到其他的一些相关的,那是关于做为21世纪人类每日都必须面对的道德虚脱感。「不,正因为我没有做任何对的事,我感觉必须道歉」,像是说出了那些明明面对塑料污染海洋生态、能源设施排碳制造暖化的时时刻刻的日常,因无能为力阻止久久就变成表面上看似平静或心安理得度日其实内心充满负欠的心情。

什么时候厚道又朴素「谢天」的心,已变成直面极端气候变迁下一种文明科技共犯的复杂情绪:

看着那些狠下心做乐的人、自私自利者、无所作为的掌权者,由于愤怒造成不了现实的改变,也就成为可议、可耻的坐视者的心情。

想着为未来的倖存者多保留一点遗产、资源,否则无法平静度日的安慰。

但未来已经不是理所当然过去的延伸,而是一种必须转换再转换、再加上无数的也许与但书,才能免强维持的保守的乐观—想到它微乎极为的机率,无法面对下一代又装作无事的逃避与无奈。
