Commander. is a typical American screen hero image, for the good of the American public. (Avoiding the outbreak of the plague) He is almost alone (later with the help of Police Chief Warren) against the old, lazy and intertwined American bureaucracy (police department, city government, FBI... ). Dealing with various American bureaucracies The conflicting interests and entanglements between classes, people of all colors, etc. (the film's description of this is very detailed and wonderful, let me talk about it later) and finally achieved his goal.
Sheriff Tom Warren, a character worth pondering, he was also high-spirited and wanted to be a good policeman who worked hard to serve the public and eradicate evil, but time is the greatest enemy of mankind. He has served in the government administration for more than 30 years. He was gradually assimilated by this stale government bureaucracy. But he was eventually moved and inspired by Commander's actions, and finally even willingly bet his black gauze hat for the public good.
Blackie, a creepy badass, his His subordinates are both afraid and respectful of him. In order to gain his own interests, he regards taking other people's lives as child's play, whether he is a poker friend, an accomplice or an old colleague. His final arrest is somewhat comical, thinking that Climbing on a ship that could not sail, but accidentally fell into the water, and was caught. Endless greed made him embark on this road of no return.
Finally, let's talk about the conflicting interests of various people in the film. Commander and Warren quarreled, and Warren called each other "a college-educated person who may not make a fuss about something and make a grandstanding." (Highly educated The conflict between Americans and the "ordinary people"). Commander put all police officers who had contact with dead bodies to inject unknown drugs. (To the police) The police were puzzled by this, and Sheriff Warren replied: "This It was the commander's order." The police were reluctant to accept the injection. At this time, the Commander was very "interested" and let Warren also receive the injection, and told the same reason, "This is the commander's order". The police were very excited They've gathered to see their boss get the injection. It's really interesting, you know, this kind of thing can happen anywhere in the world, doesn't it? Commander asks at an employment agency that specializes in finding jobs for sailors In the case of the deceased, the sailors told him that he would not have any news because "you are investigating a sailor, and all the people here are sailors". An Italian immigrant who opened a restaurant because of his distrust of Commander , and died of plague. When Commander wanted to board a freighter suspected of having a plague epidemic, he could not get the active cooperation of the captain. (It is very intuitive to show that the United States is a multi-class, multi-racial, multi-interest conflict. bent on hiding the danger of a possible plague outbreak from the American public, Commander went head-to-head with reporters bent on exposing it, which Commander said was "in order to avoid unnecessary panic and was actually in the American public interest." "The reporter said that "the public has the right to know the truth." It's really hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. I can only say that the result is the only criterion for testing who is right and who is wrong, although this is not necessarily fair.
