The story below the truth

When do people know the information of astronomy? For me, it’s many years ago, even before I went to elementary school. However, it took thousands of year to make human know the truth of the galaxy. Galileo was the first person to point the Earth is not the center of the universe to the ignorant people that time. The fall production of Galileo, which was written by the famous playwright Brecht, was talking about the life of Galileo.

According to the play, Galileo discovered the use of telescope and found out that the Earth is not the center of the universe; the Earth was just going around the Sun. Actually, it wasn’t that easy to make people, who believed in God, to believe him as well. His discovery was kind of against theories that the pope’s saying. The Earth is not the center of the universe meant that there’s no reason to stand why it’s the God created the world. It was totally against the rule of the church and even his friends cannot really support him. Lastly, he surrendered himself to the power of the church and admitted that he was wrong. According all, it’s a sad story showed that it was not that easy for people to admit the truth.

I like this play because I really like the way that it showed people’s change from the start of the story to the end. In the first few scenes of the play, when his friend thought it was too dangerous to say something against all theories in thousands of years, Galileo was saying it’s not difficult for people to get the truth, but when they saw the truth they would lastly support his idea. He was clever and proud of what he has found. Then, he thought there’s nothing can stop him to tell people the truth. However, at the end of the story, the power of the church stroke him and made he noticed the truth wasn’t the most important thing but the power. He changed a lot, and he was decadent and lost in the end. The characteristic of Galileo was changing in a excellent way and make me to have plenty of thinking. It made the story has been told in a truly attractive way.

However, I think the play was too difficult for people to understand. I’m a international student, and the play used too many difficult language which are even a lot for English country students. So, it made me feel unsatisfied with understanding the details of the story. Even though it’s not that hard to understand the story line, I cannot understand all the points it showed from the play. So, I wish it can be simpler next time and then I can understand the ideas better.

Over all, I think it’s a good play to tell the story under the truth that even a little child would know these day. Also, I highly recommend people to watch this play with the interesting plot and great acting of actors.
