Great plot, but the ending is too perfect

This is a film that reflects the dark side of human nature in a highly realistic and materialized society, the desire for money, the shirk of sins committed, and the play and humiliation of sincere emotions. The plot of this film can be described as basically in place.

The vast majority of people living in this society are more or less greedy, have a high desire for material things, and even try to get rid of the sins they have committed regardless of the bottom line. This is everywhere in our real society, everywhere, but the specific events and content are not the same, but their essence is the same, that is, the endless desire, greed, selfishness of human beings~

Too much People like to advertise how good, kind, and loving they are. Of course, there are people who are truly kind and commendable, but because we live in a materialized society, interests are basically what most people pursue. Power, money, beauty and other desires, we try all kinds of methods and countermeasures to satisfy ourselves, is it all strange? No, it's all normal.

But the ending in the film must be perfect and positive. Even in a very relaxed environment like the United States, the director and screenwriter had to make the ending coincidental in order not to be scolded by the public and to cater to a positive effect. For example, in the film, the hero's mother happened to know the experienced doctor, and the doctor happened to be nearby. He rushed to the scene at a lightning-fast speed, and immediately started the operation. Although there were small episodes in the subsequent operation, it was still It's smooth, all this is artisticized by a series of slow motions, such as the hero's "out of body" (actually profound memories) several times, reflecting the proper essence of film entertainment.

But if many conspiracies happen in the real world, will there be so many beautiful ideas and coincidences?

Maybe what I said is more heartless and pessimistic, but everyone think carefully about the core value of this film? Obviously, that is the most practical aspect of human nature.

The above is my personal opinion after viewing. I don’t like it if I don’t like it. As for some children who are ready to magnify their mother’s love and family affection, I also know this, but the most exciting and important part of this film is to describe the truth of human nature and hypocrisy and selfishness. one side. In the face of interests, no matter how great the feelings are, they must also face a heavy price, and the laws of any country cannot do anything about this price. After all, not everyone is as lucky as the hero, and every life, including the hero's mother, is equally important.

  • Dr. Jack Harper: [closing narration] At 6:32 this morning, on Thursday the 1st of November, Clayton Beresford Jr. died on my operating table. Two and a half hours later, his life was saved. There are no excuses for what we did. There's no defense, no-one to blame but us. We got what we deserved. Clay would have his revenge, and justice would finally be served. But despite all the secrets, despite all the lies, and a terrible loss, one thing really matters now. He... is... awake.
