Proof of Life Study

I recently watched a beautiful film "Proof of Life" on the movie channel. The two leading actors Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe are revisited, but this film is a new study. Let me talk about the play first. Terry, played by Russell, is wise and brave, a special man. Terry and his son depended on each other for their lives, and finally met a deeply loved woman (Alice played by Meg), but all he did was rescue her husband with all his strength and kiss Alice before going deep into the bandit's den (it makes people feel heart-wrenching).
Terry's five-member rescue team is ready to go. AIice's husband and another kidnapper are to be rescued. There are still more than 20 people on duty in the enemy camp. Of course, the best way is not to startle. Of course, the director will not let Terry pass easily. After a fierce gun battle, Terry was almost blinded in the final attack. A comrade in arms was seriously injured. Fortunately, everyone returned safely. Some people commented that the shooting scene was not big enough and the time was short, but I think it was very intense and exciting, in line with the mountain jungle scene. In particular, the tacit understanding of the rescue team members' mutual protection and coordination, and the accuracy of the shots, can be compared to those of the jungle guerrillas.
Rescue triumphantly is parting. Alice undoubtedly loves her husband deeply, and she will never leave her husband alone. But the two months of sharing the joys and sorrows with Russell made her confess when she said goodbye to Russell, "You know how important you are to me!" The two passed away, each with its own direction, leaving the viewers feeling melancholy. mind. This ending reminds me of "Covered Bridge Last Dream", which is a bit similar, but it's too far away. The former is the repeated torment of hope and despair of life and death, and finally the rebirth of emotional nirvana; the latter is a never-fading dream born in Xanadu, left to two lonely hearts. The common denominator is: the power of the family is powerful!
Talk about Alice's husband. He is a traditional man who loves his work and loves his family, but he doesn't care much about how he feels. He dragged his wife around the world for the project. He was still not satisfied, arrogant, impatient, and machismo. The day before he was tied up, he had an argument with Alice and decided to return to China for a divorce. But what happened after that gave him hope to live! Of course it was Alice.
Let's talk about the outside of the scene. I checked it online and found that the film is indeed a bit old. It was produced in 2001 (Why did you miss it back then?). Even more unexpectedly, sparks broke out in and out of the two main actors. Meg, the "American sweetheart," got divorced, but didn't get the desired destination. It is said that the film’s poor box office was ruined by scandals. Russell, I finally remembered that he played a gladiator and other policeman. No matter good or bad, he is a tough guy. Find time to learn again.
Enlightenment: 1. To be a person and to do things is to be as professional as Terry, capable of literary and military, able to stretch and bend, dare to love and hate; more importantly, know when to do and when not to do.

2. Prove once again that an excellent team is indispensable behind success.

3. How to balance family and career is really difficult, but if you use your heart, it can definitely be repaired.
