we are all part of it

At the beginning of the movie, it seems that several groups of unrelated characters and plots were later involved because of this terrorist attack. This kind of ambush-style treatment makes the characters more three-dimensional and allows more characters to have the opportunity to express themselves. It is not a one-man show . The use of a large number of close-up lenses also increases the audience's sense of substitution, and the scene after the explosion is also very realistic and shocking. I have a deep memory of a scene where the police and criminals were in a shootout in a residential area. The residents of the next house were not afraid of death and threw a hammer to the police and asked the police to punish the criminal. Later, the police really used the hammer to beat the criminal. Except for the two criminals in this movie, the others are ordinary people living their own lives. The director did not specifically promote the fact that the police caught criminals for granted, but more of us ordinary people encountering such a thing. The behavior of the situation, the protagonist has a paragraph describing the theme of love, some people may think it is far-fetched, but I think this movie should be such a positive idea. When I saw the interviews with real people at the end, I was very moved by how strong they turned out to be.
