Only the devil can defeat the devil

I personally think there are two best settings in the whole film: one is the Socratic metaphor that runs through the whole film, and the existence of democracy may be abused and arbitrarily interpreted for other purposes; the other is the heroine’s opinion on the Second Amendment to the Constitution during the TV debate. Questioned, punched the anti-gun control group seven inches.

The first half of the heroine seems to be a selfish and calculating conspirator like Kinoshita, who will use all the resources around her as a gunman; A martyr will not hesitate to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. The meaning of Ms. Sloan's personality is that she is not a saint, not even a positive character: she recruits male prostitutes, has no faith, does not respect others, has a tough style, is drug dependent, and even turned around to support gun control in the first place. factors. But that doesn't prevent her from concluding that she is a great lobbyist. In order to defeat demons, warriors must first learn the methods of demons.

Going back to a question that is asked twice in the film, is Ms. Sloan herself a shooting victim/related person? The question actually assumes that only people whose self-interest is harmed will support gun control: a person must have a specific reason for choosing to support gun control. But I am more inclined to believe that Ms. Sloan rationally recognized the problems of corporate interests reflected by the proliferation of guns, the use of the constitution, and the corruption of democracy, so that she supported gun control so clearly. There is no special reason to support gun control, because it's the right thing to do in itself.

Finally, the debate in the film is very exciting, not only logical, but also very precise and bold. It can be called every word and every word, punching to the flesh.
