No. 1, the younger brother of the female president. No. 2, Wax. The Minister of Defense and so on are all high-ranking bosses. These are all very clear.
The protagonist, is it number 13? This is a critical issue. I think so. The reason is the memory fragments constantly appearing in No. 13's brain. If the 13th is a fake, it was arranged by the deputy director (general) of the Department of Homeland Security, could it be that the memory in the human brain can be added at will? The synthesis of the ending photo of the movie also shows that the general deceived the protagonist. The protagonist is No. 13, not an undercover agent sent by the general.
Is the protagonist Steve Rowland? I don't think so. The real situation should be that Steve Rowland has been killed in that attack. The rebels took the opportunity to get a plastic surgery to replace Steve Rowland. Why did you choose Roland? It's very simple. Is Roland the general's son-in-law? So, on the 13th, he took the place of Roland to live his life, so Jin said that after he came back, he was a stranger (quoted from the Internet). Then why the handwriting on No. 13 is exactly the same as Steve Rowland's. This is a good explanation. The signature at home is not Steve Rowland's, but written before the protagonist assassinated the president. The general's daughter Jin said I love you before her death, which she said to the protagonist, indicating that Jin loved his husband deeply. Of course, Jin didn’t like the cold-blooded No. 13 who became a stranger, but when No. 13 lost his memory and became tender, even when he was targeted by a sniper rifle, he didn’t forget to ask Jin to lie down. Jin felt Steve Rowland. Come back, and said affectionately, I love you. If the general made a stand-in, the general's daughter would never say this.
Let's sort it out. Steve Rowland, the general's son-in-law, died in an attack in Iraq. The rebels took the opportunity to get a plastic surgery to replace Steve Rowland, and he was designated as Killer No. 13. On the 13th, the dovish female president was assassinated. When he was about to evacuate, he was ambushed by other numbered organization members led by No. 12 Mengge. The ambush failed. No. 13 drove to escape. Mengge used chemicals to corrode the numbers of the dead members of the organization. Later, the protagonist was captured by his own organization, which appeared in this memory fragment No. 13. In order not to catch any clues for the investigators of the assassination of the president, the killer organization intends to take the No. 13 helicopter away. No. 1 Sheyden, the younger brother of the female president, and No. 12 Mongo appear in the camera. This fragment of memory is in the film. The end flashed. During the fight on the 13th, he jumped off the plane (or crashed) and hung on the tree. By chance, he was rescued by an old couple. Although he was in good health, he lost his memory since then. The 13th after amnesia changed from the cold blood of assassinating the president to a sense of justice. The so-called human nature is good at the beginning. I think this is the most important thing to understand the plot of the film. This kind of explanation can understand how such a righteous protagonist would assassinate the female president, because he was a cold-blooded killer before the amnesia, and returned to his nature after the amnesia.
Later, the 13th tried to open the chip on the back of the watch, and the chip sent the location information back to the organization, and Mengge was chased by it. What's strange is that the deputy director (general) of the Department of Homeland Security and his black female detectives also learned about the situation. What does this mean? For the time being, no matter which party or faction the general belongs to, at least, the general knows a lot, is very successful, and hides it deeply. And from the following plot, the general's daughter Jin is No. 17, the general, who fabricated a lie to deceive the amnesia, can also see that the general is not simple. This fully shows that the general knows the killer organization and has a deep understanding of the killer organization, but he doesn't know the big man behind the scenes and tries to dig out through the 13th.
We can also imagine this. The general found that the son-in-law who had returned from Iraq had changed. He was different from the former Steve Rowland except for his appearance. The general was scheming and conspiring with his daughter, only to find that the son-in-law in front of him was not the Steve Roland of the year, but a killer number 13, so he knew the terrifying secret of the killer organization. In order to eradicate the entire killer organization, the general did not hesitate to let his daughter get involved in the killer organization as an undercover agent. After the president was assassinated, No. 13 disappeared. They knew that the murderer was No. 13. But I didn't know that the 13th had amnesia. Knowing the amnesia on the 13th, the black female agent suspected it first and discovered it slowly, but she was not sure at first. Therefore, there was a scene where the Indian hut attacked the protagonist, tied up, and the general used guns to ask questions. Just imagine, if the protagonist is really an undercover general, wouldn't it be better to meet and hug directly? When it was verified that No. 13 was indeed amnesia, the general, the general's daughter, and the female agent performed the planned undercover drama together. Unexpectedly, the chip exposed the location, the protagonist was attacked by Meng Ge and others, but unexpectedly killed the general's daughter by mistake, so there was a scene of the general's tears.
Why the chip can be tracked by Meng Ge and the general? I think it can be explained in this way. The general found out that his son-in-law had been faked by the killer No. 13, and calmly moved the chip behind the No. 13 watch.
What is the role of a black female agent? I think she may be the general's assistant, and she doesn't know much, but she is under the command of the general. This can explain why she seems to be very familiar with the protagonist, as if she is an old acquaintance, an old partner. One is the general's son-in-law, and the other is the general's assistant. Of course they will be familiar with each other. As for the black girl who said she is the number 13 connector, this may be made up. The relationship between the black girl and the protagonist seems to be very ambiguous later, I think it may be that the black girl is a righteous person and appreciates the later number 13, or the black girl originally has a unique affection for the boss’s son-in-law, there is another possibility, the black girl In fact, it was the general's order to monitor the protagonist around the protagonist.
Let's talk about the general again. Is the general just or evil? Will the general be a member of the killer organization? The film's explanation of the general is really vague, but with more taste for some of the details of the film, we can still get a message: the general is hidden, and the general deceived and used the protagonist. The general said that the protagonist pretended to be number 13 in order to attract the bigger fish behind. However, from the perspective of the whole plot, it is clear that the general is using the protagonist. The protagonist is acting alone, braving the bullets, breaking into the boss’ nest, killing the No. 20, and removing the bomb. At best, the black girl just drives a car, gets a hand or something, and can't see the general or what the Homeland Security Bureau does. The general is using the protagonist, hoping to use the power of the protagonist to eradicate the black hand behind the scenes. Why should the general find the man behind the scenes? We can make the following guesses. The first is that the general is righteous. He deceives and uses the protagonist to get rid of the big evils and do things for the government; the second is that the general himself has ambitions and wants to eradicate the killer organization, so that he can improve himself and increase his bargaining chips; Three, he may be a high-level leader of the killer organization, but his ambition is swollen, he wants to get rid of the big boss, and he is on the pinnacle of power; there is also the fourth, whether careful people have found out, if you talk about justice, the movie In the United States, it seems that a deputy director of the Department of Homeland Security is presiding over justice, but where is the government? The Deputy Director of the Department of Homeland Security cannot act alone, what about his superiors? Could it be number 1, the brother of the former president? A big conspirator who covets power and does not hesitate to kill his own sister. At the same time, he has two sides, he controls the killer organization and acts as a righteous leader in front of the general. Holding both the spear of evil and the shield of justice, he also needs to poke his own shield with his spear, hoping to destroy the contradictions and achieve the dictatorship he wants, without knowing it.
What do you think of the acting president? I think he is a talented person, but the villain is in charge. He has a certain ambition and cannot be realized. He can only sigh: "Americans are very generous to the president. They can tolerate the president's hypocrisy, deception, and even lies, but We can't tolerate the president's weakness." This undoubtedly pointed out that the female president's brother played conspiracy and tricks to win the election. And if you want to win the election, you must do whatever it takes to strengthen yourself, no matter how you become stronger. The strong is the eternal truth, the weak is absolutely impossible, the weak eats the strong.
Seeing that I have written so much, are you in a hurry?
