Double torture of body and mind

Bend over at a high place, everyone in the world is drunk and I am awake; when I look up at a low place, everyone is drunk and I am alone

In the whole film, there is no character that can arouse a moment's personal resonance, or even the slightest sympathy, even the protagonist H, who is touted by many people with a righteous heart. Very realistic subject matter and very realistic depiction, but it only brought physical and psychological torture of watching the movie, as if the person sitting in the interrogation room was not Yang Ge in the play, but myself.

Leaving aside the debate about whether the Virgin Mary or the Righteousness, or in order to construct such a debate, the screenwriter asked the CIA, FBI and the US military to jointly reduce their intelligence. At the end, you can immediately confirm whether there is a bomb in the place Yang Ge said in three or two sentences, but there has been no progress in the past three or four days, so the only hope can be pinned on Yang Ge's mouth. Above, and then the main storyline unfolds logically. I'm afraid it's not because the government doesn't pay overtime, so the staff in various departments are just working on a daily basis! If so, it is indeed quite in line with national conditions. As for Yang Ge's wife and children's slow capture, it's just to fit the "last second" film and television routine. Therefore, the core thesis of the film's grandeur, the foundation of its architecture, the first step is to throw away the logic.

Of course, the reality is bound to be darker and more unbearable than the film, because there has never been anything that stands alone, and the debate on many issues has never been correctly answered, and even many times, the same one Answers, said from different populations, will be very convincing. If the film was from an Islamic country, perhaps I would probably see it as a provocation. And if it is from a third-party perspective, maybe I can trigger some other thoughts. However, this film is from, and practically only from, the United States, which I find interesting.

In this situation setting, the overall look and feel is almost exactly the same as that of another masterpiece in many people's hearts many years later - "Parasite". Koreans made a movie about how the rich are gradually persecuted by the lower classes. Everyone was hooked after watching it. They all said clapping and applauding. The movie about terrorists and people defending the people has been watched and praised by everyone, saying that this is the brilliance of human nature and the true righteousness. However, those who should count the banknotes are still considering whether to go to Hawaii or Bali next time, and those who are supposed to bring justice still don’t care whether they are Arab or Saharan, which makes the literary and artistic works related to reality seem a bit embarrassing in many cases. I had a feeling like I was watching a bunch of bitches arguing about whether they were a little bit too bitchy and finally came to the conclusion - our plaque should be refurbished, do you think this new plaque looks good?

Mmmm, it's pretty cool!

Last but not least, I don't like the way the movie ends. Of course, there is no need to mention all the daily black Russia in the movie. Mainly I don't understand why Young would suddenly give in when H was going to execute the child? Of course, it is perfectly acceptable to explain it in terms of the greatest eternal theme of literature and art: love. Compared to saying that the director's kindness is abrupt, I think it is a deliberate design. On the one hand, it is connected with the subsequent fourth bomb design, and at the same time, the image of the male protagonist is further improved through the transformation of other people's attitudes. From the perspective of the plot, Reasonable, but I personally feel that this change also greatly weakens the character of Young's character. Between the change of strength and weakness, what is really expressed is actually not about the characters at all, but the final answer to the proposition discussed in the film by the director or the creative team, or even the entire group and country!
