movie was really eye opening‚ while I don’t claim to really understand the mentality of why communists were so vilified‚ the way such innocent seeming people were treated is deplorable. This movie makes me think of a quote from the movie The Boondock Saints‚ "But‚ there is another kind of evil which we must fear most … and that is the indifference of good men!" Many times it seems that people are allowed to get away with misdeeds simply because enough people did not stand up against them. In the movie

Though these two words are somehow closely related if you think about the celebrities who are famous and rich at the same time‚ there are some others who only have high recognition but not rich‚ such as Mother Teresa who devoted her whole life doing charity for the poor.
