The director remakes his previous works, but the shadow of the end of the Cold War is gradually dissipated, and the society changes. I think the focus of this work is family affection and judgment of right and wrong. The former can always move people's hearts, while the latter is the theme that many works of art now try to express, that is, the boundary between right and wrong is not so clear. I'm just here to express my touch and respect for this movie.
At the beginning of the film, the most beautiful time in the male protagonist's life passed. He became an ordinary policeman. He was middle-aged, widowed, and his only daughter seemed indifferent. When the daughter came home, the father was happy, even a little at a loss. They care about each other, but don't say anything. Until the daughter was shot and killed at home, the father held his daughter and said: "You're my girl." The daughter replied: "I know." When the male protagonist was exposed to radiation and had hallucinations, he repeatedly saw various plots of her daughter being intimate with herself when she was a child, as if time went backwards. Every time it seemed to be touchable, after waking up, it was even more desperate. The repeated blows reminded the father of the fact that he was going to die for his daughter, and prompted him to embark on a road of revenge.
I think the male protagonist is only concerned about his daughter from beginning to end, not about national security. The betrayal of a friend for many years was also because his children were threatened. In the end, the reason why Jedburgh chose to die instead of shooting the young police officer was also because the young police officer had children.
Maybe it's because I've been doted by my father as a daughter, maybe I realized that my father is getting old just like Thomas. The age similar to Emma makes me feel a lot. Just as Emma said at the end of the CD video: "I love you, dad.", whatever.
This movie is good-it touches and reflects on me.
