The miraculous counterattack of commercial film clichés

A legacy of British director Stephen Freys's career in Hollywood, it is far less well-known than the masterpieces of "Queen" and "Filo Mena", but the impression and connotation are even better. The story tells the story that Dustin Hoffman played a bad guy who rescued a passenger on a crash landing plane by chance and stole his wallet and slipped away quietly. The media publicly offered rewards for finding this unsung hero. As a result, the boy friend who knew the truth received a million prizes as an impostor.

Having said that, you must think that the follow-up will be the male protagonist revealing the truth, attacking the Jedi, and regaining everything, right? wrong! The ambition of this script is far greater than a popular romance of retribution for good and evil, but to explore the complex human nature of good and evil, and at the same time sneer at the media that fears that the world will not be chaotic. There may be a little abruptness in the details of the character transformation, but the overall plot is going to be wonderful. The opening speech of the female reporter and the harmonious ending of the true and false heroes are thought-provoking. It is rare to have both the visibility of crime comedies and the ideological height of ethical drama. People who are accustomed to the binary opposition of black and white nowadays are especially worth taking the time to taste the old work nearly 30 years ago.
