At the beginning, it was the suicide of a criminal. The first time I saw it, I was not very impressed. It was suicide by cutting the wrists such as glass pieces (the second time I saw it and found that it was made with a cigarette butt and a lighter, and I couldn’t help feeling How powerful is human creativity!) The dark blood flowed down the incision to the Yuxi Pond, and in the blood, the Spanish word for "Cell 211" flashed out in black. Fighting to the death, or using a flashback method, the subsequent clips will tell his previous story.
Surprisingly, it was the prison right after the cut. Juan's children's shoes went to work on the first day. To be precise, in order to make a good impression on the boss and colleagues, he had to familiarize himself with and adapt to the job one day in advance. The drama of the film starts here. . The fate of life is sometimes really accidental. When a broken part of the ceiling fell, Juan was injured. His colleagues carried him to Cell 211, waiting to wake up. Unfortunately, the leader of the prisoner, Scar, took the opportunity to control him. The prison guard got the key, and an unstoppable riot broke out in the prison. In the face of the unexpected situation, Juan's shoes were left in Cell 211. From the trainee guard to the prisoner, the identity change was only separated by a wall.
When faced with the questioning of the prisoner, Juan seemed to respond extremely quickly, destroying everything related to his identity, leaving only the wedding ring. In the face of rapid changes, it was not easy to have such a response. As expected of the male protagonist, the following is to quickly integrate into this big family.
Despite the dangers, Juan, known as the "underpants", still won the trust of Scar and successfully became Infernal Affairs. Dealing with criminals, the initial idea was very simple, just take the opportunity to sneak out and keep safe, but with the expansion of the situation and a series of mishaps, Juan's fate is no longer in his control. At this time, it is the prison's management system that speaks and acts, and all the people are cups on the table, being placed around, involuntarily.
The biggest stimulation for Juan was seeing his wife being beaten by the prison administrator on TV in the prison. The appearance of this scene made his mental state of infernal affairs begin to change, and the psychological balance gradually tilted towards the prisoner's side. A wall is no longer just a simple physical space, but also an insurmountable spiritual gap. When the prison guards and their families are in conflict, the prisoners are in high spirits, and the prisoners' relatives are also emotionally excited outside. Prisoners rioted and were treated unfairly.
The cards in the hands of the prisoners are the three members of the Spanish ETA organization. Due to political reasons, these three hostages made the police throw their hands at the police. Compared with the prisoners, the importance of these people is quite significant. Sometimes I feel that people are indeed equal, but to a certain extent, this inequality is a reality. The weight of life is indeed measurable, either heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather.
When he heard the news of his wife's death, Hu An was angry and killed. The distance between the police and the murderer was just a thought apart. Of course, Hu An was too impulsive, but imagine, if there is no so-called special system in normal times, these Do prisoners riot? If the prison guard's attitude towards the prisoners was a little more lively, and they didn't use batons to treat the prisoners' relatives, why would there be such a scene. And all these human rights appeals are directed not to a certain individual, but to the special system under the entire prison system (the solitary confinement of felons in the film), and all crimes stem from the system.
Scar's anger is because of the single-person confinement, the long time and space where no one communicates, and in the end, he even fantasizes about someone hitting him, and longing for the prison guards to hit him. What is even more embarrassing is the former owner of 211, the one who committed suicide by cutting his wrist with a cigarette butt, because there was a tumor in his body, but the doctor did not detect it across the fence. Unable to bear the pain, he chose to end his life by himself. A prisoner in the back said that after he died, he discovered that the tumor in his body was the same as a small football. In the era of "hide-and-seek", "excitement", and "hanging with handcuffs" in China, this is not a rare thing. For the West, which has always advocated human rights, giving up life shows how inhumanely they were treated during his lifetime. In a prison where the death penalty was abolished, the prisoner chose to die himself. Of course, the fault can only be attributed to the system.
Juan saw his predecessor's message when he committed suicide. It is a pity that his creativity in this regard seems to be inferior to the previous one, but it also made him clear about his mission and completely end the special number system. With an angry sensibility, he shouted out his anger and demands, and even threatened the government by killing hostages. The resilience and outbursts of people are evident, and no one knows what will happen to him.
I remember in the previous class on newspaper review, Mr. Feng once said: "Anyone who fights against the system will not end well." Unfortunately, this is inevitable, because the individual is too small compared to the system. , the man's arm is the car, and in the end it can only be broken into pieces.
In the end, the government did not agree to their request, and even their last attempt to kill the hostages failed because of the betrayal of other prisoners. Juan died, with regret and the unspeakable fate of cell 211. died. There was no warning, unlike a hero who was stuck in the chest and couldn't die after a few hours of death. His death was very simple. A steel nail that was shot out easily shook his life. The system made a random shot and crushed him.
As for the ending, Scar didn't die, but survived very hard, and revenge for the traitor is inevitable. Juan's handwriting is left on the wall of 211, but more will be left in the future, the system will continue to exist, and tragedies will continue to occur.
In addition, I have deep respect for the translation in the film. The translation emphasizes "faithfulness and elegance", and many words in Chinese context are used in it. I feel that these amateurs are indeed respectable. Once again, I pay tribute to "Liu Qian's Hands", "Guo Degang", "Chinese Team Wins the World Cup", "Three Represents", "Urban Management" and "Guo Siniang's 45°".
