The author is a person who has absolutely no concept of the real events of its background and Hugo's "Les Miserables", so I just watched this film with a movie-watching mentality. Intuitive and direct feeling, there is something in this movie, you can find the wonderfulness of the movie and feel the meaning expressed in it.
The film uses the perspective of a new police officer patrolling the community on the first day of duty, allowing the audience to take the role of this character and follow his eyes and experience to feel the community and some of the "rules" under this community system. Among them, our emotions are the same as Brigadier. We do not understand that as a law enforcement officer or a "bystander" like him, we cannot appreciate the extreme operation and greasy duty attitude of the other two companions. For bystanders , we all felt ashamed of ourselves in the same car as them, and Brigadier was in that environment and couldn't fit naturally to solve absurd things all day. For the "upper class" of the entire community, they have been looking at them with an unbelievably strange look. Can the police be so rogue? The mayor is the whole bastard? Police and gangster collusion?
What's even more absurd is that Issa's move actually symbolizes the rise of the younger generation and the act of daring to act. Like young people in Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan and Europe and the United States, because they have nothing, because they want nothing, because they never move forward, because the emotions they play together are really high, they often do things they think are right without thinking. In such a situation, it is easy and powerful to resist authority. This is the courage that the previous generation lacked, and where does this courage come from? There is no retreat or they feel that they can break the retreat and use their abilities to dig back into their future, so their actions are wilder than anyone else. What they want to create is a new order, new rules, and their own rules. And whether this is the right thing to do, no one knows.
In the end, the movie presents a taste of juvenile river flow very well. Do we need to resist authority and enjoy the joy of the stars holding the moon? Is such heroism and rebellious spirit really desirable? I don't know, I really don't know, but it's true that the shortcomings of the old system always need someone to teach them a lesson
