There are no positive or negative connotations, she is very virgin.
In fact, it has always been difficult for me to understand some of the extreme means and methods of radical revolutionaries. Although some goals are just and humane under universal values, many times they are reluctant to devise a routine that will minimize their losses while maximizing the achievement of their goals. Instead, they are fanatical, passionate and see themselves as For the incarnation of justice, they are willing to sacrifice everything, even their lives, in order to accomplish their noblest goals. But the most ironic thing is that very few people successfully achieve their ultimate goals at the cost of their own lives. The one who stands to the end and solves the fundamental problem through various channels (support of public opinion, and even some black-and-white methods...) is the final winner. Of course, this rule doesn't apply to superhumans with special abilities, Batman, etc. It's understandable that they have a passion to save the world and have matching superpowers. But the problem is, there is no superman in reality. People like Tessa who want to change the world by themselves can only rely on more careful planning, rather than passionately preaching her goals, her plans to everyone around her (except her husband) in the name of justice .
Perhaps it was the director's deliberate arrangement and guidance. From the very beginning, Tessa's potential derailment tendency was shown to us. When she promised to betray herself in order to get the letter, there was a barrage on my screen saying that this woman is sick. That's what I was thinking too. Betraying her husband over a letter is really stupid. Later, the mystery was gradually solved, and she even said that she never had the idea of fulfilling this promise. Before, I only told my friends and family members about everything, and kept it from my husband just to protect him.
Wow, so touching. Many people who see this will not only forgive her previous things, but even think that she is great. This is what the director wants everyone to feel. But forgive me I can't follow her heart and praise her. She thinks that not telling her husband is to protect him, but at the same time, she cooperates closely with her close friends, and even her cousin knows her plan. Are those around you in danger? Furthermore, as any person with common sense, you should know that each person's weakness that is most easily overcome by the enemy is love and relatives. If Tessa really had the evidence to knock the other down in one fell swoop, the first person who would be unsafe wouldn't be herself, but her husband. To be honest, when she brought the male lead home for the first time and strongly demanded to go to Africa with him, the male lead was already involved at that time.
And that letter, no matter what she was thinking when she offered to exchange her body for that letter, but at least at that moment, she had put her passion for her goal above her loyalty to her husband. After reaching a condition with the other party, she stole the letter, but never considered fulfilling the promise, and only regarded the other party as a tool available to creepy. For such an unfaithful person, I can't find any reason to absolve her and develop any sympathy for her.
In the end, the male protagonist quietly waited for death to come, and finally ended his life with nine gunshot wounds on his body. I understand that the film should praise him for understanding the heroine's noble mission and noble values and giving his life for it, right? But what I saw was that because of the heroine, he lost everything he had and bid farewell to this world in a hurry. By the way, and, in the end, nothing has changed. African people are still cheap guinea pigs for black-hearted medical companies. A bunch of dark people and things are still rampant in this land. The sun will still rise tomorrow, and there will be no change because of their departure, just like two stones jumping forward with all their strength, in the end they just sink into the sea, and there will be no ripples.
