The panoramic reproduction of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing is a 100% "politically correct" film.
The fate of various characters, the tragic and shocking explosion scene, the intense and exciting process of hunting down the murderers, the urban spirit of the same enemy, adjusting videos, posting photos, and rounding up, many historical details have been faithfully restored. The rhythm is compact, the sense of record is strong, the lineup is excellent, the theme is clear, and the overall viewing experience is smooth.
From the Munich massacre to the bombing of the Atlanta Olympics, from the Sri Lankan marathon suicide attack to the African Cup of Nations shooting of the Togo national team, even the sports field, which has never been linked to politics, cannot escape the fate of terrorist attacks. People of different skin colors, different identities, different ages, and different beliefs are victims of terrorism, which the film spends a lot of time exaggerating.
The righteous protection of law enforcement officers, the mutual help of ordinary people, the optimism and strength of traumatized groups, and the light of humanity in the face of man-made disasters are another point of interest. Finally, it sublimated to the national theme of "the battle of good and evil, the struggle of love and hate, and terrorism can never be defeated", with a strong and heavy political meaning.
The comparison between the public's right to know and terrorists' lack of human rights in the film reflects double standards; Muslims and Asians are also victims of the conflict with the "one-size-fits-all" immigration policy. The value output traces are obvious. Hollywood's attributes as an ideological tool have never changed. I wouldn't be surprised if "Patriot Day" followed in the footsteps of "The Hurt Locker" and "Escape from Tehran" and won the golden statuette.
