Politics is a difficult game, those who understand hate you, and those who don't understand hate you

At first, I sat in the London police station for five days in a row, and then I happened to see an interview on TV. I learned that the deputy minister of Northern Ireland was a former IRA member, and began to chase after him, blowing up toilets and bombing farms. How can it be so sure that it will not hurt innocent people. Use the way your daughter was victimized to find clues to the murderer, whether you will gladly accept the revenge of others after you take revenge.

Politics is checks and balances. The historical entanglements between the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland are intricate and impossible to untangle. Therefore, finding a balance and maintaining social stability, even if not a great feat, at least implies the well-being of the people. Liam is, at best, having an affair, and is still being calculated. Therefore, when Guan Yuming name, name again and again, it really feels like a scholar meets a soldier.

Since the incident, he has been trying to deal with it, various investigations, and all kinds of fluff, but he was forced from the office to the farmhouse, and finally forced to solve the problem with a gun. Finally, everyone's requirements were met, the truth was found, and the list was obtained. In the end, what he got was the British government's scorn and Guan Yuming's resentment. The helplessness of being forced by Guan Yuming to send a photo of himself is like trying hard, but still being oppressed by the upper class and criticized by the lower class, and finally because he can't give up all resistance, he can only touch the middle class who can bear it.

Although Guan Yuming's daughter was innocently killed, his haggard face is really not the worst person in the film. Liam is under the pressure of the British cabinet, and under the entanglement of petitioners. The wife around him has hated him for 20 years, and he has been looking for opportunities to retaliate. Alone, no one can be trusted. It's really pathetic.

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.
