Towards the end of the film, when Jackie Chan appeared at Brosnan's home, it showed a photo of a female terrorist with Brosnan, saying that Brosnan was behind the scenes, and the moment when Brosnan couldn't argue, it was the moment when my favor with this movie soared.
On the surface, the minister played by Brosnan did not know about the bombing. He was kidnapped by extremists, betrayed by his wife with a green hat, and was chased by Jackie Chan as the black man behind the scenes. But of course he is the master behind the scenes, a shameless politician who is scheming and full of nonsense.
Brosnan kept saying that he had broken away from UDI, but in fact he was just Song Jiang, who was called for peace by the court.
Looking at UDI meetings, you can know that UDI has always been his organization. He can order the UDI military officers to inspect every arsenal, enforce family laws within the organization, and was once a bomber who murdered women and children with both hands. This can also be seen from the conversations between him and his nephew, who came back from New York and followed his orders to "raise funds" in New York.
The concept of "fundraising" is only an understatement in the movie, but if you have seen Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford's old movie "The Devil's Own" (The Devil's Own, 1997), you will know what is going on.
"Passing with the Devil" tells the story of Brad Pitt, who is a member of the Irish Republican Army, who is on a mission to come to the United States to "raise funds" to emigrate to the United States and Ireland, wanting to buy missiles and return to Northern Ireland to carry out terrorist attacks. He borrowed to live in the home of the old Irish immigrant policeman played by Harrison Ford. The two of them cherished each other, but in the end they were forced to stand and meet each other: https://baike.baidu.com/item/ Walk with the Devil/10442174?fr= aladdin
My nephew does this, what good thing can Brosnan do?
Even the cause of the bombing was an order from Brosnan to the pro-extremist subordinates to "attack the British financial industry" and use a bargaining chip to negotiate conditions with No. 10 Downing Street in exchange for his cousin and others. Amnesty decree. As for how the subordinates cracked down, whether they planted bombs in the bank to cause an explosion, and affected the Chinese girls in the nearby shops, he certainly did not care about these. Of course, Brosnan was unaware of the specific incident, because he used this method to destroy himself. Isolated from specific violent actions, you can throw off the underlying chess pieces at any time. It's like the mafia boss doesn't know every murder committed by a gang member, there are several layers in between.
Brosnan is not behind the scenes, who is behind the scenes?
Jackie Chan chasing and entangled Brosnan seems unreasonable at first sight, but in fact he grasped the key points of the ins and outs intuitively. What would be the result if there were no accusations that Jackie Chan used the crooked photo to behave righteously?
After taking advantage of pro-extremist subordinates, Brosnan will successfully obtain an amnesty to sell young people engaged in bombings to the British government, and because of the successful resolution of the bombing case, his political influence will be greatly enhanced, and he will continue to be His minister. This bastard will take all the benefits and get all the things he wants.
Brosnan has a good idea, but this idea is based on his control of the UDI organization. During his execution, two variables appeared. His wife hated his two-faced methods and seduced his nephew, so that it should have been smoothly changed code to arrest people and failed; and pro-extremist subordinates were vigilant. Also beware of him, and put a lover's nail around him to connect Brosnan with the terrorists, and use it as a trump card in case he is betrayed by Brosnan. Even so, Brosnan still deceived everyone, killed them smoothly, received an amnesty, and made the British government think that it was holding his handle and was more at ease with him. Had it not been for Jackie Chan to eventually appear in his room, post the photos online, and use public opinion to get him down, Brosnan could continue to be his deputy minister.
Jackie Chan took the picture of Brosnan kissing his lover and said that this is a picture of you and a female terrorist, and you are the master behind the scenes. But when Brosnan got along with his lover, he didn't know that she was a terrorist, nor did he know that she was a nail placed by his side. From this point of view, Jackie Chan wronged Brosnan, but he was wronged, and he wronged a real bad guy.
Looking at Brosnan's indefensible expression in the face of the photo, it was really an excellent black humor.
The only thing I regret about the movie is that Jackie Chan never shot this shameless bastard.
