The protagonist Michael loves his children, his lover so much, and the reason he investigates is because he is afraid that his neighbors will do harm to the people he wants to protect. At the beginning of the film, his lover mentioned to him that he had investigated her background when he pursued her. I think this man just cares too much and pays too much attention to his sense of security. Whether it is his own or the person he cares about, he must make sure that all of this is under his control, so that he can be truly safe and sound. What makes me painful is that as his investigation deepened, he lost her girlfriend, lost his life, and lost the right to protect his son. Similarly, the truth about this matter and the truth about him are the same. Was rushed to a conclusion, he lost everything he cared about.
The reason all this happened was because he cared, he acted, he doubted and persisted after learning the so-called truth, but in the end, he not only failed to prevent this from happening, but also lost more Many things. Because if it was just what happened after he was involved, his family might live better in reality.
He took his students to the place where his wife died and told the students the cause of his wife’s death. He didn’t actually need to do this, but he did it, which only shows that he cares, he cares about his death. His wife also cares about these students who listen to his lessons.
He told his lover all his doubts and progress, because everything he did was actually for her.
He could have told the truth to the black agent, but in the end he chose to shut up because the son he cared about the most was in Oliver's hands.
But in the end, everything he wanted to protect disappeared one by one, and even his students stopped defending their teachers after learning the so-called truth.
Originally, I thought that this kind of heroic commercial film in the United States would not have any major breakthroughs in the theme. When I first watched this movie, I also had this idea, but as the actor's situation got worse and worse, until his girlfriend was killed, I felt a little strange, but I thought about it again. "No, this is an American commercial film." So I have been looking forward to how the hero will turn around next. But in the end, the worst ending was finally seen by me
The decisions he made, the decisions he insisted on, bumped and bumped all the way, leading to the worst results.
Some comments say that the protagonist is nosy, which leads to his tragic ending. That is to say, he is a nodie. In fact, this is not the case. At first, his motives may be pure suspicion, but the film still gives Neighbors want to find clues to them: The father of the criminal of the bombing a few months ago said that his son was planned by a single person, and at the end of the film, the bombing "made" by Michael was also done by him alone. . From this point of view, this is actually Oliver's usual method, so the Michael family is also very likely to be used as a scapegoat for the bombing. This is quite obvious, why can't so many people see it?
So, he was actually trying to avoid the worst result, but the result he tried to avoid was the worst result.
There is an idiom in our country called "King Zhe protect oneself". This is the traditional wisdom that has been handed down since ancient times. I myself sometimes do this, but I actually hate this state of affairs. Because under traditional values, if you care about one thing, you should strive for it. I envy those who dare to protect and pursue what they care about in American heroism movies. However, what appears to be a heroic movie is the opposite result. In this respect, this is actually a negative film. But although the story of this movie is bizarre, he still told us the necessity of keeping alive, because sometimes, not doing certain things can leave more valuable things.
But By the way, if you don’t pursue it, how can you know the success of this event? But the fact is, some things can be successful, and some things will make you fall into the abyss, and you will be crushed. In fact, the real pain is not that you don't do that thing, but the time when the things you least want to see happen after you decide to start doing it.
Sometimes, for the things we care about, we still need a certain amount of reason to judge the feasible probability of some things. After Michael experienced the things in the film, he would never do similar things again, but he didn't have such a chance.
In this world where everything will happen, there is no iron law for the solution of things. We don’t know what choice we should make when dealing with some things. Perhaps we might think that the absurd things in the movie will not happen. He appeared on his body, so he went to do things that seemed to be within reach. But in fact, what happens in real life is always far more absurd than what happens in movies.
