Because of the military's Gulf brutality (supporting the puppet government for profit, garrisoning the Gulf for oil. Remember the scandal of abuse of prisoners of war?), the American Yusuf, an American of Middle Eastern descent, turned to threaten his government with nuclear weapons and demanded reform! —— Yusuf, like a mirror, reflected the (impure) foreign policy of the United States to the country, and it collided fiercely with American beliefs.
On the basis of the above-mentioned main contradictions, an interrogation story occurred.
The military symbolizes animality and the original needs of people. For the sake of profit and survival, everything is right. Military executives: When necessary, even children can be sacrificed, and humanity must succumb to survival!
Brody, no boyfriend, an upright person who doesn't want family for work, symbolizes an idealist. She symbolizes law, symbolizes faith, and symbolizes everything needed for civilization. Brody: Let it blow up, we can't lose humanity-humanity is more important than survival!
The bystander in the interrogation symbolizes ordinary people. Swing between interests and beliefs. Their performance is very interesting. When they think "Yusuf killed 500 people", they think they can kill him alive. And when Yusuf spit out three atomic bombs, they breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that they could not hurt the child. H's assistant even punched H angrily. At the moment of survival, most civilians choose to survive, but when survival allows, they remember their education and their beliefs.
Suddenly reminded me of a classic question: a train is out of control and is about to hit 5 construction workers. There is a switch next to it and there is only one worker on it. Are you pulling or not pulling at the switch? ? (One pulls to death, but not five.) Most people will choose to pull to reduce losses. ——Change the title, there are no turnouts, but there is a fat man standing on the bridge, you push him down, and you lose one of him and get stuck in the train to save the five. Almost no one agrees to murder one to save the other five! ! Change the question again. If you don't have to push the fat man, he will stand on a mechanism. When you pull the mechanism, he will fall and jam the train. The mechanism is exactly the same as the switch switch. Will you pull it or not? ? What are people's standards of right and wrong? ?
H: As the man behind the military and the government, he thinks Brody is "just". If she can also participate in the interrogation and cooperate with his cruel methods, the problem can be solved. He even thought that as long as Brody tied the child in, the problem would be solved. What does this symbolize? Quite simply, if people give up their beliefs and only pursue survival, then the immediate problem can be solved-Yusuf did collapse, but fortunately. . . At least the director expressed the fact that the vast majority of people are unwilling to give up their faith in order to survive. Brody even issued a sorrow: If it explodes, it will explode, and we must not lose our humanity.
None of them can actually solve the problem. Who can? President. Only by changing the external strategy can the core contradiction be resolved! ! ! Unfortunately, he can't in the movie. The Gulf policy for more than ten years cannot be changed just because of a terrorist!
The director said very clearly that if you can’t get rid of your brutality, the civilization built within will be severely damaged. The countdown to the fourth atomic bomb is zero, indicating that the director believes that if the United States does not improve, there will be hidden dangers—— Think about the 9/11 incident, everyone. This is a film of capitalist self-reflection. Whether it can be done or not, it is already very enlightened to be able to say this. The enlightenment of American literary and art circles really surprised me: the director's so plainly opposed to the government's tactics can actually be released like this. It is incredible that Han Sanye, who just finished building the party, would pass the censorship of this film.
