People work two or three divisions of labor to make money, but they are still heavily in debt.
This country has good ideas and rules,
but they have been destroyed. It
is the ghost of the bank.
Open your eyes and see, the bank Robbing you."
Even the cold-blooded villain is very warm.
This is a movie that makes me extremely uncomfortable. I believe that many friends who have watched it have this feeling, that is: this is a purely Hollywood film industry downstream work, the content is robbery, and the visual elements are fierce. There was a gun battle, with police and criminals chasing by vehicles, and bullets flying through the chest and splashing blood. But it is so unique. It has a completely different emotional and value core from the speed and passion of police and criminal films.
One of the protagonists of the film is Frankie played by Adrien Brody. He is a jealous young man and a thief. He spent 10 years in prison for killing a policeman. During this period, he was bullied and even raped like a bug. In the end, a black man with a tougher personality covered him and helped him through the humiliating prison life.
After he was released from prison, in order to repay the black man, he joined the other party's gang, hoping to rob a bank, and then escaped. In order to complete this plan, Frank found his younger brother who is good at driving, James, played by Hayden Christensen. He was once a criminal youth like Frankie. Now, he has a job as a car mechanic. At work, I have a girlfriend, Emily (played by Jordana Brewster).
Frankie took James to see the black man M. I use M here because even after watching the movie and reading some information, I still don't know his name.
James didn't want to do robbery anymore. The two sat under a street lamp in the night, and the black M said to James.
"Look around, what do you see?
People work two or three divisions of labor to make money, but they are still heavily in debt.
This country has good ideas and rules,
but they have been destroyed. It
is the ghost of the bank.
Open your eyes and see, the bank is robbing you. "
From here, the movie has gradually revealed a different spiritual temperament from ordinary Hollywood popcorn movies. This unnamed black man is a very crucial character in the movie. Because of him, the protagonists went to robbery, and finally led to an irreversible tragedy. Fate.
Then, why did he rob? From the above text, we can find that the looting is not only for money, but to promote fairness, freedom, and competition for this performance. In fact, the decadent, even stinking American society Revenge and attack fiercely. In the
whole movie, we don’t even know what the black man’s name is. Besides, there is almost no superfluous expression except for the cold outside. He is like a machine that exists for robbery. He is in the movie. It is a black shadow that metaphors the crime, death, and crime
in the eyes of ordinary people. At the end of the film, the robbery failed and everyone fled. In the end, the black man was hit by the police and fell on the roadside garbage piled up by black garbage bags. Heaped up, with black skin and black jacket, the black man seemed to be part of the garbage. After he fell, he yelled:
"You put down your guns, and I will forgive you not to die.
Okay, this is the last warning."
Struggling, he stood up proudly, and was shot and killed by police with guns.
This is a tragic character. How about a kid who grew up in a slum like him? To create a better life? No culture, no skills, maybe robbery is the most reasonable way he can think of. He is a fighter set by a director to challenge the unreasonable existence of society.
When he said, "You let go Gun, I forgive you not to die. "The police besieging him laughed and shot him mercilessly.
Here I don’t want to discuss the justice and injustice of black robbery, but I can imagine that if a society can’t really give everyone equal opportunities for development, then it’s injustice. The evil of this movie will always exist. I think the excellence of this film is presented through these small details. The director is reflecting and elaborating. After
watching the film, I am deeply impressed by black people. Of course, this film mainly talks about two things. I believe everyone has seen the feelings between the brothers, and the performance of the two powerful actors is vivid, and I don’t need to say anything.
In addition, I want to mention that the heroine Emily played by Jordana Brewster is simply beautiful. The hero played by Hayden is repairing the car in the garage. Emily saw the rain falling outside the door, and then stretched out. In the rain, the little tune of broken flowers wrapped Emily’s delicate body, and the rain dripped down her hair, like a male protagonist. As a movie viewer, I also hope to embrace it in my arms. .
