This is the only movie I want to rewatch the next day.
As an adult, I am more willing to think about the deep problems behind social chaos. There have been too many comments on the use of violence by elite troops (extorting confessions by torture and killing gun suspects), so I won't repeat them. What I'm more concerned about is in a corrupt environment, what do you want to do with integrity?
In other words, how to clarify the muddy waters of a bay?
Without protection fees, even trivial things like repairing a police car can’t be done... In an environment where police officers are all corrupt, you can reason with them?
Talking about the law, criticizing the bad times, meeting face-to-face, loving each other, caring for the poor and young, full of love, but taking drugs, selling drugs, and getting used to it... In the face of a group of ordinary people who look like angels but do evil things, do you reason with them?
What's more, they have guns in their hands, who dares to reason?
The reality of the film is suffocating, and any moral framework we have now seems unreasonable. The children who let go of the wind were killed by drug dealers. What do you do in this situation? love?
=================================================
Andre eventually became a member of the elite army and used violence to control violence. This is the way he finally chose "integrity".
"I always ask myself, how many kids do we have to get caught up in the drug trade so the dummies can get their hands on marijuana?"
"I think the people here are too shallow and ignorant. They are misled, you are really misled, you know? I believe there is corruption, but most police officers want to behave with integrity and do a good job. About being at the checkpoint. A body search, I think it's necessary. They have to suppress, it's logical, they're going to impede. Really? I bet you have marijuana or something, you don't know how many children get caught in the drug trade and die. In You don't see that in your elegant south-facing apartment. You're misled by the newspapers and the news."
=================================================
Of course, the film is not taboo at all, and deliberately arouses the doubts of the audience:
Will the elite troops fight violence in vain? Will it lead to fear among the people? Will there be no corrupt elements in elite troops?
But anyway, as a viewer, I couldn't find any other way. Putting ourselves in our shoes, we might just be one of those dudes...
