This film did not score a high score. I think it is normal in a certain sense. Now there are so many films to choose from. The public likes to have a "stimulating" plot. It is either funny, suspenseful, bloody, or superb, and wants to be mediocre. Tell a story lightly, and then let people realize it, you may feel too tired. I think from this level, the reason why those Nolan films get high scores may be in the eyes of the public, but more scores are obtained from the "picture sense". You have to tell me that the public has realized the profoundness. For the stars, I think that is an overestimation of the general aesthetics.
The story background of this film is not as high as "Thirteen Days", not as exciting as "Mr. Brooks", and not as warm as "Letter in a Bottle". Perhaps the audience who wanted to comment on the high score at the beginning imagined this taciturn. The husband will suddenly be like the male protagonist of "Homeland Defense" or "Emergency Rescue", and suddenly possess the soul of the special forces, and then all the bad guys will be killed, and finally the "fire ambition", American Hero...
However, let the audience who waited for such a high-powered picture to give high scores disappointed. Even if the male protagonist has been a police officer for 20 years, he did not suddenly possess a superior possession... But this is exactly what the movie wants-in fact , Resistance to power and bullying cannot wait forever for the appearance of Superman. From the oppressed and the abused, they themselves should rise up to resist.
The male protagonist is taciturn, but the family is polite to others. Sometimes this kind of behavior often makes those who are stubborn and accustomed to bullying and bullying feel that they are honest and easy to bully. This type of people who have the habit of bullying are usually They have succeeded again and again from those who follow basic social etiquette. They have to force others to violate their own will to satisfy their own selfish desires, and even bully the weak in order to demonstrate their exceptional strength in the group. Create deterrence, coupled with the blessing of some protective umbrellas, and become confident within a certain range-the Weibo family in the film is a typical village bully, so parents who are used to bullying are likely to be educated to bully in schools Children of —— these cases, guys, did we see few of them in the years when we went to school all the way from the local area?
How do these overbearing students and parents usually succeed? That is, whenever something happens, the parties concerned choose to keep things quiet, and choose to do more than to do less. Even the teacher and the principal choose to turn a blind eye, or even be bought out. Of course, even the teacher and the principal are not ruled out. They are all reduced to bullying targets, so campus bullying is endless. When social bullying and black and evil take the lead, the same is true if they are not suppressed.
So this is a story about bullying and anti-bullying, a story about attitudes toward bullying and power.
The Weibo family is obviously used to being overbearing in the local area. Everyone knows that his family is not easy to mess with, and freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Obviously, it is not possible to create this kind of local influence overnight. I don’t know how many acts of bullying, harassment and overbearing have created the well-known "reputation" of the Weibo family.
So overbearing and concocting, because they are too experienced, we are too many people, we are fierce, we are ruthless and rough enough, my family is dead and only these few kinds are left. I always have the final say, I No one dared to say two. If we were not obedient, we would strike once. Our mouths are broken enough and our hands are dark enough. Two clicks will let him understand how to behave. Do you dare not do what I said?
So even if there is something wrong with my relatives, I will declare my sovereignty with you first and let you know that you dare to "make troubles" and I will let you know how good I am. Of course, they also let the male protagonist know how powerful they are. Five people broke into the house and beaten up. Even the female protagonist didn’t let go. They even wanted to kidnap and sexually assault the female protagonist. Relying on the large number of people, the male protagonist chopped off a few fingers. Let him have a long memory-this is basically a high-end version of bullying that is not life-threatening. The common historical examples are finger chopping, hamstring picking, crippling, smashing and looting, etc.-this is deterrence, bully The purpose is to let you know that I am a good tool for making a living, because since childhood, they have succeeded repeatedly, at least 90% of the chances they succeeded, and the other 10% they dare not provoke.
Before the return of Hong Kong, there were many gangs. The underworld made a living by intimidation, but they couldn’t kill people. Otherwise, even if they were killed, they would still be able to survive. Do you dare to touch someone like Zhang Ziqiang, do you mean to "eat shit" when you touch him? Zhang Ziqiang did not engage in intimidation, and chatted with the police in a gentle manner. The exoneration in Hong Kong was still won by a lawsuit. Why didn't the gang dare to provoke him? Because they don't make a living by intimidation, they make it true again and again!
The Weibo family has succeeded time and time again, is famous far and wide, and has never missed, but I did not expect to encounter two "twisting" this time, this old man who was beaten up is even more "twisting". I remember that Zhihu had a question. What would you do if you saw your girlfriend (wife) insulted? I think everyone can make up for this scene, what would you do?
The final choice of the male protagonist is to stop tolerating and refuse to be silent. He wanted to "outsmart", but he exposed, then do it! The bullying Weibo family eventually burned the flames of war they had ignited outside into their own homes. You would say that if the male protagonist was a bit tougher at the beginning and shot at the hotel, then there would be no need to get their home, but this Ordinary people, ordinary people can't deal with these overbearing people, so I have read the news that the gangster sneaked into someone else's home in the middle of the night to commit crimes, but the family of six lost to him, and he killed all of them. , I think maybe it is not necessarily that the male protagonists in the family can't beat him, but it's just that the opponent will be cruel even if they hold a weapon in a critical moment!
With regard to bullying, many cases, including this film, tell us that stopping bullying must start from the very first time. Any tolerance is to encourage it, and any show of weakness will provoke even worse bullying. It cannot be assumed that bullies will Reason to you, when they come up, you have to talk to him about benevolence, justice, courtesy and wisdom. From the point of view of legitimate defense, the first thing is to use all the advantages around you to be able to put one down, and you have to make your own. Deterrence, this is what we want to educate our children. The best defense is resistance, and the best resistance is crit!
When your child goes home and tells you who he was beaten by for no reason, who was intimidated by him, oh, please believe me, don’t tell him to report to the teacher, the most that the teacher can do is to call the bad child over and say it face-to-face I apologize, but your child is like a softie in his eyes. You can pinch it again at any time. At best, the teacher will tell the other parent again. If the other parent is reasonable, he may come to you and you. The children of voluntarily apologize, and then educate their own children, but the children who can do this, like the Weibo family, it’s probably difficult for you to meet reasonable people; you don’t have to take your children to school to find a teacher right away. Ask the other parent to cry, so that you will become a prankster too! You have to tell the child that next time when the other party does it, he will fight back unceremoniously, and there is only one purpose, just hit it as it hurts! If your child does not understand, please teach him self-defense and tell him where it hurts.
I believe many people know the story of Napoleon. The short Napoleon’s stubbornness began with a child. He was taught by others and could not beat others. The next day he went to find someone to fight. Until the opponent is scared. We don’t want to be the same as the bullies, but to let the bullies bother us. After all, everyone is doing business. If you want to get in the way, you will definitely hurt you, so you don’t dare to bother me. If you don’t tire of it. If the land is coming, then I will make you hurt every time, I make sure to make you hurt, just follow this basic principle.
Of course, the male protagonist will lose everything in the end. This is why many of us dare not resist bullying. Because we are afraid of harming ourselves, it does not mean that resisting powerful bullying requires courage. You need to overcome fear more. , To develop a strong psychological quality, at this time Statham of "Homeland Defense" can give some hints.
