True nature, the game of good and evil

Seeing that the strings in my head were still taut at the end, I always felt that someone was going to rush up and shoot Cage in the head. . . In the end, I am very pleased with the peaceful end, and the main idea of ​​the movie is also reflected behind it. Cage's behavior in the movie is not really bad, at least not to the point of evil. (At the same time, I was thinking about how to watch movies by myself recently and get nervous and some bloody plots.)
------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------- ---

An inevitable result of the development of Europe and the United States is that on the basis of worry-free survival, more attention is paid to the essence of human nature. From two perspectives, one is to live freely and pursue what you like, and the other is to show more character in terms of character. True and profound. This film is to explain what is the essence of human nature from the latter point.

There is a saying that the more you deliberately express something, the more you conceal your own lack of it? Doing some superficial work hypocritically makes people feel empty. This is the embarrassing situation China is facing now. Those high-sounding slogans, those flawless models who moved China, and those perfect leaders who were never on the road in movies, Why does it sometimes arouse some unease and some resentment in our hearts? Maybe that's it.

The highlight of this drama film is that it depicts the true goodness of our human beings and the inevitable evil in society from the details. What kind of person we become depends on how we play our own good and evil. Remember, it is a game, not a cover-up. Recently I read Takashi Murakami's book, and it was written that "you must face up to your own desires and stare at the most turbid part of yourself, in order to create works that are recognized by the world."

I think this is not only suitable for works, but more suitable for the principle of a person. , any pretense and hypocrisy can only be exchanged for temporary sweetness and long-term pain. Only by showing your true side and your true good and evil can you meet your friends. I liken it to a mirror. Your shining point will shine brighter in the mirror, and your dark side will only be With this flash, you can see more clearly in the mirror, and you can see your own appearance more clearly, and you can play a better game between good and evil, and then make yourself look more beautiful in the mirror.

Of course, this movie also reveals the fact that human nature needs fairness and iron laws to assist and restrain them. This is also a third-party force that must be involved in the game of good and evil.

Finally, I like Cage's acting skills and the soundtrack of the movie. Every movement, expression, and acting skills are impeccable. When he closes his eyes, he still looks at the camera secretly in the detention bureau, carrying heroin in his arms. The soundtrack expresses a little irony of life, and a more joyful and dashing feeling. Looking at Cage's embarrassed but free and unrestrained appearance, listening to the playful music, I couldn't help but make a voice in my heart yell, just be who you truly are, thus you'll be fucking happy!

    After a few popcorn slices, Cage is in serious film again. The character of the lieutenant was brought to life, though, not very well-liked. When I saw it near the end, I found it was a dark humor.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans quotes

  • Terence McDonagh: You know we got your boy, G, right?

    Deshaun 'Midget' Hackett: Man, I don't know no G.

    Terence McDonagh: He knows you. It's amazing how much you can get done when you've got a simple purpose guiding you through life. My purpose is to find out who shot up this apartment on Josephine. I know the guy that was living there was from Senegal. I know he was selling heroin. I know whose territory he was stepping on. And I know who went over to the apartment to straighten him out. I found out all that in the past few days. Where's Big Fate, son?

    Deshaun 'Midget' Hackett: I don't know no Big Fate.

    Terence McDonagh: Now, see, I know that's not true, because everybody who comes from where you come from knows who Big Fate is. The fact that you're lying to me about it tells me you're hiding something. Since you know my only reason for being here is to find out who shot up the apartment, I know that's what you're hiding. See? It all comes back to that same simple purpose.
