give him an award

8.8 movie tickets, I watched it before class in the afternoon. "British Showdown" is a shocking movie with a political nature. Due to the lack of understanding of the historical background of "Northern Ireland", some of the plots were incomprehensible during the viewing process. My knowledge and cultural background are too weak. The Assassin Nie Yinniang, which was filmed by a Chinese director before, was called by many people as a lousy and mysterious film. In fact, it is not. The director used a lot of long shots in the film to express emotions. It's a pity that most of the audience can't get the director's montage-style idea.

Going back to this movie, the director uses a two-line story to unfold the plot, interspersed with typical British black humor, and the drama is a bit brain-burning. At the same time, you will completely feel the difference in culture, which is different from "Kung Fu Yoga" with traditional Jackie Chan-style humor that was released at the beginning of the year. It is really not easy for Jackie Chan, who is in his 60s, to do this step. He doesn't fall down when he falls, hits, rolls, or runs. He can see the image of a successful star and an excellent actor. After more than ten years of mediocre stardom, he finally showed his power in this "British Showdown" and returned to the role of an actor. Some people say, "After Jackie Chan won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, his road to the best actor began." I totally agree that he deserves an award for his performance in this movie.

Finally, there is no end to learning.

    This is definitely one of the best and most recommended films in recent times. The story is fascinating, the characters are real and palpable, the narration is calm and moderate, and the style is cold and restrained. The fly in the ointment is also obvious. The two lines of Long Ge's action revenge and Nan Ge's political suspense are basically separate and integrated, and they have not been able to interact more closely, deeply and forcefully. , with the escalation of revenge actions to uncover the hidden political shady layer by layer.

    Jackie Chan looks almost eighty, but still can't mess with it

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.
