This is a movie about survival, or “survival” can be said to be an excuse for Oloff, who is gifted in the arms trade. He has gone through countless areas of gunpowder, and maintains good credit and guidelines for customers. War is his trade. For the peace-lovers and those who suffer from it, it may not be able to solve their hatred for Olof even if it is a thousand swords. Olof defended himself by saying that he got rich because of the war, but he never participated in the war, just like wild dogs watching the lions hunting buffalo that they can’t kill, and then sharing the rest after the lions are full. The same. War is a banquet that deprives humanity. In a world where the strong fight, he is just a thinking pawn. He also knows that he really has no political thoughts, so he will never step into this forbidden field. Olof knew the importance of Han Xin's humiliation under his crotch. When Olof entered the arms trade, he saw the joy of firearms and weapons for the Avengers when they deprived others of their lives. For a boring, ordinary, but business-minded young man, the joy of killing by others Created valuable trading opportunities for ourselves. At the end of that struggle, the reason under the chaos of the gang members remained in Olof’s heart forever. It was his rational life philosophy that he was able to take the small and the bigger, and not to be involved in his own interests.的事中. In the film, several times to visit Olof's heart through the death of innocent people, but the influence of this killing from the beginning did not point to Olof, but affected his younger brother subtly. As a businessman, a businessman who confuses in the ordnance trade where human nature is vague and close to hell, he already knows that human life is the value that a bullet can take away under the reckless and meaningless collision. The value of living lies in the value of not being killed. What else could he create under the premise. Therefore, he did not participate. Although his emotions were throbbing countless times during the slaughter, his inner humanity was suppressed time and time again. Through commercial values, his ruthlessness was pale, and he did not even need to be cold-eyed. He seemed to him to be nothing more than a thorough businessman. Warlords, independents, and revolutionaries love him. Anyone with a conscience will always make lethal weapons lose their value, while dictatorships and revolutions are mostly exchanged for blood. One more bullet and one more drop of blood fall into it. With land, one more wealth and more fear sprout to maintain their interests. Olof is a down-to-earth person. He knows how to expand his strength to satisfy his own desires under the current conditions, instead of sticking to Xiaoli, taking drugs and being a day-dreamer like his younger brother. This may be the difference in talent between the two. My talent does not refer to genius, but the difference between people’s areas of expertise. As a result, it is obvious that my brother is not the material of the arms trade. Even as Olof’s personal guard, I think Slightly immature. It can be said that his younger brother was a useless and lazy figure in Olof’s later career. Even his early participation was passive. Olof had already implanted his desires into his younger brother’s mind unconsciously, because With his kind face and the superb Oscar actor level, anyone who is close to him will be easily tempted to trust him. This has obvious traces in several important characters throughout the film. In short, his younger brother learned to take drugs with him, but Olof did not become addicted, but he became obsessed with it. Olof was mature and comfortable in his sexual life, but his younger brother repeatedly proliferated and corrupted his father's traditional three-mindedness. It can be seen how critical a suitable career is to a person's life... In other words, the younger brother has been in a state of being lost and at a loss since joining Olof’s arms dealer. The person who made him enjoy his life has always been Olof, and he was repeatedly given drugs when he was rehabilitated. It was also Olof. His self-control, self-confidence, and personal independence were a bit ugly, and it was indeed ruined by his brother's doting. In Olof, he began to see his longing lover Ava, and his heart for the pursuit of a partner has already drawn a placard. He regards Ava as his victory, starting from the first side of Ava’s tour. She showed a look of joy, ambition, and calmness. In the context of her being like a goddess to most of Ava’s fans, Olof’s mind was very long-term and deliberate, as if two people met. When he confided his true feelings, the sentence was the same: "I know you are not a person who believes in fate." Olof’s beliefs have long been forgotten. He knows that arms dealers are a profession that abandons human nature. On the head is everyday food, walking between water and fire does not allow a little hesitation in thinking. This may be the life of people who have deviated from their beliefs. Olof’s reason for not worshiping God or any god comes from knowing that when he is in a desperate situation, only he can save himself. When it comes to this, do you begin to understand people and people? There is no good or bad behavior, but only different ways? Olof said at the beginning that he didn't want his behavior to be forgiven. No matter how disgusting you are, this is also a methodology of survival. However, I don’t want you to understand him, because the understanding he asks for in the whole film and every line he confronts the audience is the same as what he said to other people. The shake of your view of good and evil is that he draws sympathy. The best results. The director actually played a game of chess with the audience at the beginning. He successfully used Cage’s acting skills to perfectly control the characteristics of the clever and cunning arms dealer. All pious words look forward to our sympathy, and the deep and slightly sad eyes are infected. Multiplying force. As mentioned in the film, Ava finally left Olof with the child with the reason that "I can withstand the failure of my career and family, but I cannot bear the grief when I lost my humanity." The beloved brother was shot. At the time of his death, Olof was still weighing the importance of whether the transaction was necessary to continue. I don’t know when Olof, as a person who evaded human responsibilities, has become a dehumanized person. He is outside and others. When a woman had sex, she didn’t have the shame and self-knowledge of being a man with a family. After returning home, the lingering with Ava became a duty he should perform rather than out of love for her. Olof was grieved when others died. His expression gradually became stiff and hypocritical (the moment his mortal enemy was shot, his bottom line of humanity was pulled down again) ; The last time he almost lost his sense of grief was the death of his younger brother. His tears were the only sign of his true feelings, and the whole film flowed through this time. Later, he lost his parents, wives and children, brothers and As a relative, he no longer has the opportunity to live in true feelings... The end is a thorough baptism for Olof, a thorough tool of benefit for him, and the gap between others given him. In the baptism of survival. We have always joked that the value of a person is embodied in relation to others. The meaning of this sentence has a unique metaphysical meaning in this movie. It seems to be a mockery of today's humanistic values, and a reality of interest-related relations and coexistence of good and evil. According to the subjective reflection of Olov, Olof did not make a mistake. The truth is that survival can end in life but also in value constraints. Olof can’t get out of the quagmire of arms dealers but survives cleverly is an opportunity created by self-confidence. He represents This is the ideal lifestyle of the most fundamental bourgeois thinker. The agent played by Hawke is the epitome of the reality of many of our masses. He firmly believes in justice, he upholds fairness, and he fights injustices for the weak, but the arms dealer who chased him from start to finish rescued him at the moment of punishment. The moment I felt all over my body, I no longer believed in love. The reality may be like this. We sometimes don’t allow me to be hostile to others or even the world because of our own choices, but a kind of faith stands in our hearts for a long time and can’t calm its restlessness. The most instinctive impulse of this emotion is just like Olof said. Perhaps it’s our first instinct. Olof’s principles for acting for many years are all based on his instinctual instinctive judgment of arms business, but he is the only one who can do this, and then whether it is his mortal enemy or him. His younger brother, both of them went off course under the bumps of the world, and wandering in hell in the confusion would be eaten by evil spirits, and neither of them had a hard time. The detective’s methods are decisive and intuitive, but under the huge wall of reality, his insistence on arresting Olof for smuggling arms is of little importance to the authorities, although he failed to bring Olof to justice as he wished. , But at the end it says "You will be promoted, raised, or given a reward..." fully demonstrates the recognition of his actions, but the value judgment of the authorities is that Olof stays in the mouth of the tiger. People like him don’t have this kind of value, and the director did not completely wipe out everything desperate, but this symptom without a clear solution is the helplessness of the real society,...this The film is a vigilance, a reflection, a methodology. Survival is not just about avoiding war, because disputes of interest will always hurt both sides; don’t be your enemy, Because even if you are left alone and helpless, I believe you will always have the right day.
