It's so hard to apologize

I have watched this movie twice, and I feel very uncomfortable every time I watch it. I think most of the audience feels disappointed in the government and disappointed in the president!
At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist received a phone call and heard threats saying that there was a bomb reaction that actually reflected the psychology of normal people. Ask anyone, when encountering this kind of situation, they usually choose not to believe, who will I believe that one day a terrorist called the radio station and said that he would blow up the bridge?
The rear bridge really exploded, but what the protagonist was thinking at this time was not to call the police immediately, but to use this incident to increase his visibility and want to restore his position. To put it bluntly, he was selfish, but why is this no one? What about his psychology? Everyone is selfish. No one will think about others in a bold manner. Isn't the president the same?
After that, the protagonist and the terrorists kept on talking and live broadcast. During the process, the bridge faced a second explosion, completely blocking the retreat, and using the hostages to coerce the president to apologize. At this point, some people might say that this person is actually not kind. , For an apology to threaten the lives of other people, it is not worthy of sympathy, but have you ever thought that the little boy’s father died at the time because of the government’s work, but the government did not apologize or condolences, little boy How uncomfortable is it? How disappointed? How can a country’s laws allow the head of the country to apologize and face it? So coercion may be the best way, although I personally do not agree with this approach, but I understand!
However, whether it is the police or the president, there is no hint of apology from beginning to end. The child also said it very directly. All he needs is an apology. To put it bluntly, it is just three words, I'm sorry! But because of these three words, the president cannot say that it caused the deaths of hostages and a large number of police officers, especially the police station. He threatened the boy during the live broadcast and made the other party surrender. He was very determined. He felt that a terrorist attack by one person could not shake the country at all. , But he underestimated the boy so that he was finally killed by a headset bomb.
At the end of the film, the protagonist was called by the secretary general to inform him that he would be prosecuted, embezzled and accept bribes. He also targeted the terrorist attack on the protagonist and made the protagonist take responsibility. At this point, the protagonist was slightly irritated. , But for the instinct to survive, he still chose to fight against the boy, the terrorist. At the end, the boy told the protagonist that his dad had been watching his newscast and said that the protagonist was a trustworthy person, and the protagonist woke up. In this country, in this world, no one will believe him, but this little boy still believes in him, and the headset bomb is also fake. The Secretary-General said this during the previous call. "Do you think someone will believe you now?" It is these words that let the protagonist know the darkness of this society. On the contrary, the country wants to abandon him. If it is said that he was prosecuted and convicted for corruption and bribery, I think the protagonist is not going to be so good. It is precisely because the secretary-general said that he should be committed, and no one would believe him, that led to him. Complete despair, disappointment with the country, coupled with what the little boy said to the protagonist, recalling the various stories of the little boy, the protagonist finally understands that the government will never support himself, no matter how good he does, it is useless. I remembered that when the female police officer on the walkie-talkie said he was killed immediately, the protagonist figured it out. It was also at this time that the special police came up with an obvious goal, which was to kill the protagonist, and at the same time that the boy was killed, the sniper was also there. Looking for the protagonist to execute the killing, so at the end of the film, the protagonist pressed the little boy's last bargaining chip, and the whole building collapsed.
When the President righteously said that the culprit was shot to death, when the President was overwhelmed and said that things were under control, he would never think that the host who had been helping him was already disappointed in him, disappointed in the government, and became second. A "terrorist" carried out the ultimate terrorist attack!
Generally speaking, this movie reflects social, government, human sentiment, psychology, human nature and other factors. It is true and worthy of consideration for all audiences. However, as far as the movie is concerned, if the reality is really the same Things, I think, the plot must not be very different from the movie, because this is the society and the real world!
