The French film Les Miserables is aptly named. The whole movie feels like hell. The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. Lions locked in cages, lion cubs stolen by urchins, police shooting at children, pent-up anger from crowds, clashes that could break out at any moment. Hostility between people, different races, family and colleagues, everyone is isolated and helpless. Even though the kid was wearing a Nike tracksuit, showing that he was living in modern society, his fate seemed to be doomed from the start, and he could only become a social rebel. The police are not police, they rule the community with an iron fist and violence, and suppress the resistance at the bottom in the name of always being right. Children can only turn to the underworld for help. Suddenly, a group of children get together and they become masked avengers, the burning petrol bomb, the trapped policeman, the mayor who is trying to stop, the raging fire is burning, it seems that this tragic world will be completely destroyed to destroy. At the beginning of the film, as the protagonist Stephen enters the community on duty, the shaking camera, the noisy environment, and the immediate contradictions run through. Even if they turn around and become someone else's father and son, even if the protagonist still has a trace of pity, he has to be caught in the fire of revenge in the end... As Stephen said to his new colleagues, the day you partner with is The scariest day of my life. Is that drone that peeps at everything, the god the Chinese saw when they looked up three feet? Is it the God who looks down on the world in the hearts of Westerners? If there is reverence in your heart, you will not sow the seeds of evil and let the ugliness prevail in the world. This is a ruthless critique of racial discrimination under the veil of the rule of law advertised by mankind, and a strong call for all the beauty in the world. I wish there would be no such hell on earth again.
