Endless loop

Drug dealers oppress and the people resist. Those who stand out from the resistance are either behind bars like the doctor in the movie, or they become the drug dealers with whom they had bloody battles like Papa Blue. If there is no fundamental reform, in a few years, there will be new doctors, new blue fathers, and new self-defense forces. After a prosperous riot and repeat the same mistakes, this kind of resistance will not be able to solve the problem on the surface. It will only fall into an endless loop. As the drug dealer said at the beginning of the film, "If I could make money like you guys, I wouldn't choose to do this." The economic foundation determines the superstructure. This phrase that we are familiar with in high schools and even junior high schools can explain many phenomena. Therefore, the only way to eliminate drug dealers is to develop the economy so that the vast majority of people can live decently without trafficking in drugs. The only ones who can make big money in drug cartels are the leaders, not those who can’t survive. Cannon fodder (of course, those who have big ambitions to rely on drug trafficking to get rich, but after all are a minority), the small group will naturally weaken without the drug cartel. At the same time, the people's power is strengthening, and the drug cartel will naturally become difficult for the long term. However, the existence of drug dealers has caused economic development to stagnate or even regress, resulting in more drug dealers and falling into a greater infinite loop.

Three and a half. Gangs are rampant, and the town is armed with self-defense, but driven by interests, the self-defense forces are finally recruited and successfully transformed into a new gang, completing the "black-white-grey-black" cycle. The subject matter is rare, and documentaries are not easy to shoot. The dark world is just the tip of the iceberg. Barrenness and desolation are the background and origin of this drug-trafficking land.

More like a movie. The two story lines are intertwined, and the more I see the back, the more embarrassed I am. I am amazed at the collection and arrangement of these materials. The director uses a lot of various tricks, which greatly doubles the look and feel. The summary is also accurate. Patrols talk about fathers and cycle change is the finishing touch. The doctor's leader's subsequent defeat, and admitting that the loss of his family has taken away his original motivation, is both exasperating and true. After reading it, I thought of Soderbergh's drug network. In the war on drugs, if you fight against drug dealers, it will always be an endless cycle of wildfire. You can only eliminate the market, that is, use communication and care to heal Only those people can win the war against drugs, or win themselves.
