Our enemy is simply ourselves, that's the point

I highly recommend this film. It’s not that they are foreigners. Many foreign directors are indeed difficult to achieve in our country. So far, the only domestic film I’ve seen that can be called a masterpiece is “HELLO, Mr. Tree” (of course There are also many very good ones, such as Dog Thirteen, National Witness, etc. There are several I forgot, I just said that from all aspects, I personally think Mr. Tree is the best). First of all, I personally feel that the translation of the title of the film is that the donkey's head is not the horse's mouth. I can't speak English (I can only say 26 letters and can recognize all the letters), but after watching the whole film, I am also very confused about the translated name, but when I saw the poster, The English name is JOHN.Q. Just checked it, of course, it is only a personal understanding. JOHN in the United States is almost equivalent to the name of Xiaoming in China, and his surname Q represents a specific group, and also expresses many, many meanings. Personally, I checked the English words starting with Q. For example, quantity (quantity), quality (quality) and quest (find) can be used to explain the Q of this film at the same time.

Personally, I think this film is not only very good in terms of the whole frame, but also the details are handled with great care (I don't know if there are any bugs, I personally think that there are some small mistakes that can be ignored), first of all, the design of the child Generally speaking, people like bodybuilding, and most people’s expectations for their children are first and foremost to be healthy and live a peaceful life (this is when the kidnapped pregnant woman was about to give birth, the father-to-be also reinforced this point of view), So this kind of setting is also a kind of wish of most common people.

I won't say much about the whole thing, many people can understand it, but I will only post a few points to express that the film is still very strong.

Doctors and hospital directors are not cold-blooded. In fact, they have seen too many lives and deaths. There is no problem in dealing with such things in this way. Not only in foreign countries, but also domestic doctors will advise you in this way for certain diseases. And when the police asked the female person in charge (who had to admire how strong even the supporting roles were) to lie to JOHN by pretending to put his child on the list, in fact she didn't want that. From the doctor's point of view, they didn't want to lie, only To state the facts, when she went to tell the child's mother that she could add it, she actually started to think about it in her heart and was hesitating. After all, if she wanted to do this, there would be a lot of uncontrollable things behind her. A few times, only she went to tell the child's mother that she was going back to the office, and other scenes were not expressed in the office. In the end John made up his mind when he was hit.

There are many places that show that JOHN, as a civilian, is not a villain, but a forced and helpless father. For example, he was attacked by the bad boy and did not take revenge on the child, nor did he anger other people, he should let go. Or let it go, including the performance of the child's mother, people really should have faith, this is not superstition, it is a very good thing of external self-restraint. Denzel Washington's acting ability is still amazing. When he told his children that when you say what you want to do, you must do it. If you have the opportunity to make money, even if you have to occasionally have an unconscionable conscience, you have to try to make money. This paragraph The performance is very wonderful.

Including the woman in the car accident slapping her wrist in a close-up, perhaps to express that she is a rich man? Her heart transplant to JOHN's child is also a beautiful expression.

Finally, various media are reflecting on this matter, and various remarks. The director's three views are very positive. In the end, one of the hosts said that the point is that our enemy is ourselves. That's the point. We are the ones who will end the health care system. We don't want taxes to go up and you have to look at that.

In short, I personally think that the details of this film are very powerful, which is really worth learning.
