Come back after watching it with my parents!

It's very beautiful, but it's not very flaming. Compared with hatred and revenge, the tone of the whole film is actually very cold, revealing a lot of vicissitudes, sorrow and helplessness. The goal seems simple, but in the end, no politicians, speculators or KBFZ can get what he wants.

In fact, he didn't do much, and he even seemed a little stubborn in many cases, but he used the most ordinary way of the most ordinary people to make them unable to get their wish, even including the fact that he finally killed the enemy who killed his daughter, but he still wanted to He asked the deputy minister to publish the news that KBFZ was his mistress, because the politician thought that if KBFZ was killed, only he knew about the relationship between the deputy minister and KBFZ, and he could manipulate the deputy minister. Taking this incident into a game, he used the simplest method to let everyone know the true face of the deputy minister, so that the politicians could not keep him, and no one could benefit from this incident.

This incident is a tragedy, and it can't be used as a bargaining chip game. Those people of all shapes and sizes have what they want, while ordinary people just want the safety of their families.

Some things cannot be used as chips, such as life

In the beginning, after his daughter died, Jackie Chan stared blankly at his daughter's messy bedroom, his expression was dead silent, then he dragged the teddy bear like a walking corpse, took his daughter's clothes and smelled it, and then sat alone on the bed. , no music, no action, not even a too sad expression, you can feel the kind of heart ashes

In fact, there are not many fighting scenes, and they can't even be completely suppressed. They are often knocked down. Even walking is staggering. The whole person looks old and weak. He is old, not young, but he is still the final winner.

because he is fearless

PS: There is a section in the video when he unloaded a young man's knife, the knife flew directly to the screen, the 3D effect is very good, and it felt like it flew out of the screen at once

The Foreigner quotes

  • Liam Hennessy: You killed my dog.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Dog's fine. Just sleeping.

  • Quan Ngoc Minh: [opens coat] I'm wearing a bomb. Anyone comes in, I touch it one, then we die. Now, give me the names.

    Liam Hennessy: They claim to be IRA, but I don't know who they really are. I'm doin' everything I can to find out who's responsible.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [puts gun to Hennessy's head] You're lying! Who killed my daughter?

    Liam Hennessy: I'm sorry! I truly don't know yet!

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [pause] The explosive the bombers use, it's Semtex-H?

    Liam Hennessy: [nervous] Yes. Yes. You know about Semtex?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: I know Semtex-H. During the war Czechs make for the army. Good for bombs and traps.

    Liam Hennessy: In Vietnam?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Yes. Many American people died by Semtex-H. Now, IRA use to kill my daughter. That's ironic.

    Liam Hennessy: I've read your history. We both know about war. We've both tried to put it behind us. You and me, we're alike.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [backhands Hennessy in the face] We are NOTHING alike. You're NOTHING! You kill women and children! NAMES!

    Liam Hennessy: To Almighty God, I don't know!

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [cocks the gun]

    Liam Hennessy: WAIT! Wait! I've set a trap for them when they use the next bomb. When they claim responsibility for the next bombing, they'll use a code word, telling the police they're IRA. I've changed that code word. So when they use it, I'll know.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [lowers the gun] You have one day.

    Liam Hennessy: ...what if they don't set off a bomb by then?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Twenty-four hours.

    [leaves]

    Liam Hennessy: ...Jesus. Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus.
