Salt bottomed out

In the film about the agent, there are almost men in the world, and the role of women in the film is very small. The women of 007 only need to be sexy, and the women of Bonn are there to help him survive. And this agent, not only a woman, but also a few shots of her man, has become an indispensable link in the whole movie.

Every outstanding agent comes out of the most brutal training, and SALT is no exception. Even she is NO1. Unlike other agents, she is a woman. All conflicts and contradictions arise from this.
Salt thinks: You can take my parents, you can deprive me of my childhood, because I didn't know anything at that time. So "Father", I love you, you taught me a lot. Therefore, I can complete any task you give me and give my life.
Salt knew: When this man mentioned the ring, her husband was not safe.
But they don't know that the husband is the bottom line of SALT. Once touched, everyone will be retaliated against. "Father" also could not foresee, the sharpest steel knife ended his life in peace.

The man who never gave up was locked in the ground by his "father", and the water slowly passed under his head. SALT's eyes were indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him. Only when she killed them coldly and indifferently to avenge her husband, did she know that "father" had trained her so well that no one could see what she was thinking. The only time that can prove her emotional ups and downs is actually when she called anxiously for a while in the game.
Anyone who touches my bottom line will be killed without mercy. Everyone who allowed me to be on the front line had let


a female agent be the subject, and it couldn't be more convenient to use this meticulous emotion as the main line of conflict. Coupled with Julie's skill, the context of the movie is formed. So we see a Julie who doesn't need to be sexy, a female agent with more wisdom than bravery, and a plot that makes you burn your brain and re-string all the causes and consequences to understand.
