A movie that gets more and more exciting...It's really a surprise

When I watched the first half an hour, I wanted to abandon the show. At one hour, I wanted to play three stars. At 90 minutes, I thought I should have four stars. At the end of the 120-minute movie, I gave five stars. Full marks, really full marks. I thought it was a cliché superman story, but this time I used accounting and finance as the background of the movie. The ultimate villain wanted the company to go public. The male protagonist was an accounting superman. The law enforcement department was replaced by the financial management department, and criminal activities became money laundering. .

But the later I discovered that I underestimated the director’s strength and intentions... The final plot gave me too many surprises... I just said that the killer man is so personal. You say he is the villain, but he also has his own. The principle of harassment for the laid-off workers who have been short-selling will teach the big short-selling, and sometimes it will be funny. It wasn't until the end of the film that he knew who he was. I think the old man living is going to explode after seeing this scene??

Secondly, this movie is actually very ironic and black humor. At the beginning of the movie, the male lead said that I prefer to deal with villains, and they know more about loyalty. The whole film is full of irony and contrasts. Capitalists have a halo, respect, access and high social status. They rely on malicious shorting of more than a dozen companies, forcing workers to lay off and making their families unsustainable. The female agent once had a dark history of being arrested and imprisoned, which has become her handle and weakness, but in fact her target was a drug dealer who sold low-quality cocaine to trap her sister. The old supervisor seems to have retired gloriously with a lot of credit. Who would have thought that he was just a messy civil servant 10 years ago, cowardly and cowardly, and relied on the male protagonist to provide various informants after the "rebirth". The male killer took money to do things, but also let the murdered CFO end his life in a decent way that would allow his wife to get the most compensation. The founder of the technology company and the villainous old man said that he let the company go public in order to get more funds to research prosthetic technology and benefit more people. The male protagonist helps international criminal groups to launder money and is still a killing machine, but he committed two large-scale killings because people who are important to him were hurt. He walked on the single-plank bridge of crime, but most of the money he got was donated. It was given to a charity to help elderly couples in financial difficulties avoid taxes reasonably. There is no absolute good person, and no absolute bad person. The old man who claimed to make false accounts "in order to benefit more disabled people" and even killed his own sister in the end, as well as the male protagonist who helped the underworld to launder money and raise charity donations to avenge others...good, evil, good and evil, this In the fuzzy area in the middle, everyone has a ruler in their heart.

In the end, the movie actually promoted caring for children with autism, "They are not monsters, they are just different", "If the tests to measure whether a person is a mentally ill person are inherently wrong", "They are great , They just don’t know how to express”. The author of Alice in Wonderland, a well-known mathematician in history, can’t speak and act madly, but has first-class hacking skills, can communicate with people clearly through software logic, “female assistant”, has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and is extremely mentally insane. Stable but smart and capable male protagonist.

They are not monsters, they are just different. A popcorn movie I thought, but it gave me a real touch and thinking. Quite interesting

The Accountant quotes

  • Dana Cummings: What is this place?

    Christian Wolff: Panamerica Airstream, 34ft 7inches long, 8ft 5 inches wide. Dimensions which are perfectly adequate for one person. Preferable, even.

    Dana Cummings: This is where you live?

    Christian Wolff: No, I don't live here, this is a storage unit, that would be weird.

  • Brax: When you interrupt somebody like that, it makes them feel that you're just not interested in what they have to say. Or maybe you think what you have to say is just more important that what I have to say. Is that what you think?
