You can not have it both ways

The movie is actually good, the rhythm is well grasped, and Will Smith's acting skills are beyond doubt. However, the section that rotates the screen by 75° is too ridiculous. The facial recognition technology is said to have only been available in recent years, and it is not perfect. It is a little sci-fi. Other surveillance technologies now look a bit outdated.
The theme of the film is: What can the government prevent crime without violating personal privacy? It is impossible to have both, human rights and security, which is more important? Do human rights really take precedence over public security? Nowadays, many rioters and mobs are no longer satisfied with eating and dressing well. Why is the so-called "human rights" in full swing, and there is a great spirit of "if it is freedom, both can be thrown away". However, when you really ask them what human rights are, how many people can give a reasonable explanation? How many people have been influenced by the corrupt thinking of the West, do they really think that as long as they come from the West, they are fragrant? In today's China, "human rights" and "patriotism" are synonymous with freedom, laxity, and lawlessness.
Some netizens even questioned the rationality of the operation of the state apparatus, saying that "the function of the state, the role of the state, is always to serve the ruling class." The ruling class? It also seems that this word should appear in China before 1911. The "ruling class" in the mouth of netizens should be the link that maintains the normal operation of the country. I think that the ultimate purpose of the country is to protect the small family from being violated and realize the common prosperity of everyone. There can be no happy life without a country. Although the functions of the state are far from perfect, I believe that one day, just like communism will come, there will be no ruling class at all.
Country, country, no country, where is home? But how can you come to a country without a home? Is the small family more important or everyone else? This may be a question that will never be answered.
The government is always in a position where it is not human inside and out, and it is believed that it will never change. There is no resolution that everyone will agree with, and there will always be people who question it. I think more people should understand the government than doubt it.
Power is given by the people and should be supervised by the people. I only hope that our country will always be prosperous and strong.
