      Failure is also a kind of face-up

      Where is the focus or point of this so-called war?

      According to Marxist economics, if there is demand, there will be a market, more than 100%//200%//300% Barabara.

      Not like normal crime movies, police and bandit movies, almost all in the dark. Almost all the scenes in this film are in the almost vertical sunlight. The realism and depression of natural light tells us that these things happen around us, around us, friends, relatives, family members, teachers, students

      is it war or love

      Fantastic, wonderful narrative and storyline. I used to think that drugs are not the root cause, but talent is the root cause. Although this sentence is true, I thought that people can be strong enough to resist temptation. I didn't know that people are not that strong enough to resist temptation until I read "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" in the Bible. We declare war on drugs everywhere, the more we fight, the braver we are, but we leave behind a mess, but we cannot...

      Declaration of War and Common Resistance

      I have always heard of Soderbergh's name, and many film critics compared it with Paul Thomas Anderson, thinking that the two have a lot of love points, and they went to see the film with their love for Anderson. But I just watched it for less than 30 minutes. I once suspected that there was something wrong with the source I downloaded. The color of the movie screen was obviously not uniform, and sometimes I felt a little awkward. But as the plot progressed, I gradually discovered the director's...

      intricate battle

      What impressed me the most was the gang fights and the corrupt police. J's friend was killed after selling the news of general Sa and horses to the police. Frank Flower first betrayed his own people and then helped the betrayed Tyuana to help the chief wife kill his subordinates (witnesses), but Ray was murdered by mistake. Ray's friend placed a bug in the house of the head of Tyuana to avenge him. J (Mexican narcotics police officer) said after his friend's death that I felt like a traitor...

      Commentary on the movie "Drug Network"

      The beginning of the film consists of five parallel paragraphs: ① On the highway on the Mexican border, the police Javier and his companions seized a large truck carrying drugs, but they were robbed by General Salazar and the car along the way; ② In an Ohio courthouse, Judge Robert and his lawyers argued fiercely over the drug issue, and went to Washington with confidence to become the national anti-drug leader during the reporter's questioning; ③ Outside San Diego, two police officers from the...

      A policeman, a congressman, a stray girl, a drug dealer, a tainted witness, the United States, Mexico, constitute a drug network. The net has always been cut constantly, and the rationale is still chaotic. Behind the destruction, there are intertwined...
