some people play games, and others enjoy them.
A说：是真是假对他们来说并不那么重要。 B说：大家都想看热闹。原谅这些人们吧。他们只是普普通通的人而已。生活那么难过，他们只是在找乐子而已。
娱乐节目纵然是娱乐，但对于选拔才智过人的选秀节目，其能力的真实性应该纳入评论中吧。
另外，中国太多无营养的电视节目了，尤其是对于青少年的，如果家长都任由孩子看启发意义极小的喜羊羊或嘻哈打笑的综艺、花痴幻想的偶像剧，那么下一代的思想要如何去培养，中国的进步由谁创造？
内心希望中国的传媒界能多一些有营养的思考，多一些智力的元素，这样熏陶出来的民众才会建造一个更舒适的社会。
Charles Van Doren
因为《如何阅读一本书》看的这部电影，他说愿意付出一切代价重头来过，追求生命的纯粹和意义。但这样的代价未免太大，家族都在哥大任教，而因为电视丑闻而与教育事业擦身。对于他和他的父母们，对于哥大，对于同学和教育界，都无比惋惜。维基百科中说道晚年，Charles和他的妻子在他们当地州一所普通大学任教。
对于涉世还不深的我，不知道他，极具魅力和学识，同有道德，知错就改的伟大学者为何就不能再教书育人？在我看来，他在节目中掀起了学习潮，更身体力行的在审判中彰显了悔恨、坦诚与勇气。
50年代的美国，难道不具有包容心？浪子回头金不换，我多么希望Charles能回到哥大，完成他和他父母的期望，
但，另一种百科全书和如何阅读也是另一种对教育的奉献吧，即使不是老师，但也是在教育。
PS：很喜欢电影对Charles老爸Mark Van Doren的刻画，儒雅、对教育业的投入和不舍（几次想退休，但太留恋孩子们），因为紧张而关掉节目，还有在教室里和Charles的对话，他老爸依然那么纯粹、笃定而正确。
还有Charles表现出来的学术范儿，因为受到良心的折磨，他告诉制片人只要问题不要答案，这样会稍微less egregious一点，两位制片人当然不懂这样的学术词 ：(
在打“金花儿"的时候，Nick和Charles PK, Charles掏出50，问Nick要不要翻牌，Nick说 you are lying（白话说谎）,Charles纠正着说bluffing（学术范儿：虚张声势）
最后献上Van Doren 包含歉意和悔悟但无一个sorry的声明：
我愿意付出任何代价重头来过。但是过去不能改变，不过我却学了不少事：生命的意义，自己的弱点，还有对同类的责任。我也学到善与恶并非黑白分明。……
I would give almost anything i have to reverse the course of my life in the last year,
The past doesn't change for anyone,
But at least I can learn from the past,
I have learned a lot about life, I have learned a lot about myself and about the responsibilies any man has to his follow man.
I learned a lot about good and evil. they are not always what they appear to be.
I was involved, deeply involved in the deception,
I have deceived my freinds and i have millions of them.
I lied to the American people, I lied about what i knew, and then I lied about what i did not know.
In a sense, I was like a child, who refuses to admit a fact in the hope it will go away.
Of course, it did not go away. I was scared, scared to death,
I had no solid position, no basis to stand on for myself; there was one way out, and that was simply to tell the truth.
It may sound trite to you, but I've found myself again after a number of years.
I'd been acting a role, maybe all my life of thinking I'd done more, accomplished more, produced more than I have.
I've had all the breaks, I have stood on the shoulders of life and
I have never gotten down into the dirt to build, to erect a foundation of my own.
I have flown too high on borrowed wings. Everything came too easy.
That is why i am here today.
