Working closely with editor William Goldenberg, Paul Greengrass gave 22 July a ruthless and ruthless quality; his insistence on seeking truth from facts also made reality invisible
.
The film is a sharp and transparent film about serious morality
.
The film is a movie about terrorist attacks, but it is not only responsible for describing a tragic disaster and the mutual support of human love like "Terrorist Attack on Boston", it also hides a lot of torture in the gap between stories and emotional catharsis , release slowly. The director completely abandoned the usual narrative mode of genre films, and instead used an extremely cold tone, using a two-line narrative to interweave Anders' performance in the police station and court, as well as the victim's difficult physical recovery. and the mental reconstruction process. These two clues became a spiritual confrontation, unfolding in their respective spaces, and then entangled in the final trial. The rhetoric of "they have guns, we have love" at the end of the film messes up the tension and icy temperament that the director tried to set up before, but to a certain extent it also happens to be a Nordic reality.
.
The emotional rhythm of the film is relaxed, it not only presents the explosion and shooting at a fast pace, but also gathers the victims' physical and mental recovery process. The director is extremely calm and objective when tracing the psychology of people related to emergencies, and depicts the healing process of the physical and mental trauma suffered by the survivors and the bereaved family members in a more detailed manner. He tried to present the impact of the same incident on all parties involved and their responses to emergencies from multiple perspectives, which vaguely revealed a stereotypical political correctness: promoting democracy and the legal system, emphasizing pluralism and showing inspirational plots, which inevitably made the audience look boring
.
Compared with films of the same subject matter, this film is handled much more appropriately. It not only focuses on the terrorist attack itself, but also focuses on how the whole country faces and solves this problem after the incident, and how the victims can embrace life again. , how terrorists face legal sanctions. The director only used half an hour to show the process of the terrorist attack. The narration is quite restrained, but he reproduces the scene of the attack with a high degree of reproduction in a nearly 100% way. Three-quarters of the content of the film revolves around how the state responds after the terrorist attack, what demands are made by terrorists, how victims can face life again, and how lawyers can demonstrate the rule of law. Still accurate and effective, showing how individuals and nations can recover from a terrorist attack
