How much is your family worth?
——A brief review of "Blackmail in the Caribbean"
(score: 9.5)
1. This film is the best story I have seen over the years; (a good textbook for learning to write stories)
A good story must have a good theme;
family and Money is the two most important parts of our lives in modern society.
If one day you were faced with a choice between the two, what would you choose?
Some people will choose to use the lives of their family members in exchange for a commercial insurance claim;
most people will choose their family members. So, how much are you willing to exchange for the lives of their family members?
If you only have 40,000 in hand, and the price of your family is 1 million, how would you choose?
We know that not all marriages are so harmonious.
If it happens that the family relationship is not so happy, what will be the choice?
This film is such a story;
so, seriously, how much is your family worth considering CPI?
Or, how much are you willing to spend to buy people's lives?
In fact, money is not the problem, the problem is how much effort you are willing and able to put in to maintain your family.
This is not only a matter of choice, but also of ability and protection.
2. You guessed the beginning, but never the end;
it’s not enough to have a good theme, the story frame is equally important.
The most commendable thing about this film is that almost all the contradictions unfold in unexpected ways for the audience.
The scene of black people blackmailing the male protagonist is the most amazing;
he first offered a price that the male protagonist could never get, and then left the male protagonist's family on the island as a bargaining chip for extortion; in doing so, he not only Having the chips and limiting the time - such extortion is perfect.
3. There is no unnecessary panic, no idiot's death;
Travel distress is a special type of film in the United States. Generally, such films are sold with bloody violence;
this film guessed the beginning, but did not expect the end;
there is no unnecessary panic, no idiots die;
the same travel distress, There is no previous routine at all; the audience really needs a normal person who can deal with disasters calmly; the
male protagonist is calm from beginning to end, and there is no "actually they don't want to die, they don't have to die" feeling that this type of film always has.
4. To be good at self-help, the government is not the best straw;
ruthlessly lashed out at the US government, I couldn't help feeling that it would be better if it was replaced by the Chinese government.
5. Be good at observing details, you will have all the answers;
details are the answers;
6. An ordinary man, responsible for the family;
thinking about the question of "how much is your family worth" can help us recognize the meaning of family;
The family is not a "husband and wife follow" that "raises the case with the eyebrows", it is an independent small universe;
there is love and tolerance, self-denial and humility, understanding and support;
but the most important part is the imperfect part;
more often, there are quarrels and struggles, There are misunderstandings and resentments, selfishness and incomprehension, even derailment and betrayal, suspicion and calculation, bullying and control, ----- at this time, how much is your family worth?
