Each film has its own thoughts and worldviews that it aspires to express, which in itself means a celebration of persistence and faith. However, each viewer does not blindly operate according to the mainstream thinking of the film, but seeks clues in the main line of the story and makes his own independent thinking, as the line in the film says: "The illusion of attention, also called Non-attentive blindness. It means that people will only see what they pay attention to....saw...everything, but only remembers what...want to see.” And thinking is often the same, we see the whole story And every detail, but only concentrate on thinking about what you care about and what you think is important. This is an extension of thinking that focuses on the self and ignores the facts, and self-centered thinking is a kind of prejudice. My film reviews are mostly one-sided discussions on the details of the film that I pay attention to. I personally focus on fantasy. I will not demand the absolute consistency between the film and reality. Therefore, I continue to question and resist all the inexplicable coincidences of the film. . I think that since I love movies, I must have the confidence to devote myself to the story of the movie. In the development of the plot, I should explore the characters' hearts to discover the creed of self-awareness, and learn and study the mystery of human nature that I am obsessed with.

Similar to most movies, this movie also gives viewers a pure perspective, that is, the heroine Huazhu. Like us, she is also full of excitement and curiosity about her new career. As herself, she has a firm belief in upholding justice. And because of her actual position in the film, not only her love of profession but also the justice in her heart, she chose the position of "monitors", that is, abandoning immature manners and strictly abide by the "monitors". Rules, but the injustice in her heart forced her to question the "watchers". In her line, she asked the "watchers": "What are we going to do?" And the "watchers" are also prepared The answer: "What we can do is to track down the suspect, and we break the law as soon as we do what we want to do." This answer is objective. As someone who occupies a certain position in real life, what you can do is stick to your position and try your best to do your best, rather than clinging to personal feelings. After all, a person's abilities are limited, and unity can better complete a job, and unity requires strict restrictions on individuals. Regarding the lines: "The moment we did what we wanted to do, we broke the law." This kind of extreme expression of thought and speech can also be valued. Pythagoras once said: "A person who cannot restrain himself cannot be called a free person." In society, everyone’s existence is closely related to the existence of others, and each of our actions can lead to We may not be able to accurately determine the consequences. Doing arbitrarily without thinking is indeed irresponsible to oneself and others. We should all control and manipulate ourselves. Violating the freedom of others is also the beginning of the restriction on our own freedom. People must constantly learn to respect each other, as should be true of people and nature!

When the film climaxes, the confrontation between pros and cons is particularly prominent. When innocent people are involved and "monitors" are also persecuted, the voice of justice will become even stronger. The heroine’s psychological changes have also become more intense. When the death of a colleague suddenly happened in front of her, she may have realized for the first time that every decision she made would directly lead to her own life and death. The fear in her heart needs the support of a firm conviction. And the "watchers" line can warn and guide her only: "This is our job. Grit your teeth and persist to the end to complete. Exhaustion is to admit defeat, madness is victory." People who don't persist are easy to be caught. Fear of enslavement and easily give up a career that is not good for oneself, but the reality is cruel. People who pay attention to personal interests will never be able to achieve amazing achievements in their careers, because only people who are fully invested can one thing be completed and realized. .

But in fact, do these "monitors" really insist on crazily relying on their own beliefs? When a person insists on doing one thing and unites some people without self to complete an ideal, the important things in the process also quietly change. It is not only the belief in justice, but also the honesty of the heart and the demands of oneself. The behavior of each person in the team not only directly affects their own life and death, but also affects the lives of all their companions. The injury and death of any companion is a heavy blow to the individual, which is enough to arouse personal regret and stronger Sense of responsibility. The heroine is also in this state of mind. She feels that her fear seems to have caused the sacrifice of her colleagues. Maybe she has also imagined that if she did not obey the command that was beneficial to her because of fear, but followed the past, perhaps it was not her companions who died. Own. The disgust, reflection, and even condemnation of her own fear also gave her reason to continue, and she was no longer simply acting for the justice of the world, but now she is also struggling to become a person whom she recognizes.

Another curious identity of the criminal "Shadow" followed by the protagonists of the film is also a "monitor" who monitors and directs the entire crime process to ensure the smooth completion of the theft. He does not directly contact the criminal gang, which seems to imply a message that he and them are not exactly the same kind of people. In the film, his whereabouts are more independent, and he does not reveal the pleasure of criminal success. What he was doing was obviously not what he wanted to do but more of what he had to do. Maybe he used to enjoy it and gradually became good at it, but now he is more eager to get rid of all this and find his own life again. The person who asked him to do this was the one who nurtured him, and the nervousness and calm temperament on this person's face inevitably made him feel his inner strength. The person’s description of the “shadow” in the line is: “He is a person who has no place to go, nor can he go anywhere.” This shows that the past and the present “shadow” are all people who are abandoned by society, such a person. So on the road of crime, does society have no responsibility?

Who are the "clients" whose interests the "shadow" represents? The explanation in the line is: "Whether it is political people, rich people, or us, we are all thieves." And "monitors" are obviously heroes who defend the interests of the public. But the struggle here is obviously not the people represented by the two, but only the "shadows" and "monitors" used by these two groups of people. The former is a passive and unavoidable situation at the moment, while the latter is dedicated, but is it not a selfless dedication that is taken for granted? Because what the "monitors" in the film's lines defend is not the labor money that the public puts in the bank at all, but they are people who "lost tens of billions of rolls and can't call the police." That is, "all are thieves". It's not that simple anymore. The so-called insistence on justice that the film mainly wants to show is also fundamentally shaken at this moment. It’s like returning to the original question, that is, the heroine’s question: "What exactly are we going to do?" Because the criminal gang in the film is just a group of stupid people who work hard for their lives, at the cost of life and freedom in exchange for speed The way to get rich is nothing more. The "watchers" are just a group of dedicated professionals and suitors who do not know all the facts even though they have self-belief. These so-called representatives of the public interest, the "watchers", even the justice they think they're doing is only temporary. At the end, there is an optimistic gesture to continue this hypocritical justice. The most unacceptable thing is that the "shadow" of repeated killings is actually the victim. He may be the only person who recognizes his identity, a person who loses his freedom because of threats all the time. And if such a person is arrested, it may be an insult to him, and ruthless killing seems inevitable. There was a thought in the book "The Diary of a Thief": "People who have committed various crimes seem to be destined to continue that crime, not only of their own choice, but also because our society will never forgive them. , Trust them and give them a chance to be a good person again.” This means fate-like shackles, and perhaps only death can bring them real relief.

So what exactly are we going to do? What exactly is justice? Is emotional use really not needed by us, but merely blind and undesirable personal reckless behavior? Isn't emotion the real reason why we are obsessed with justice?
