The atmosphere of the whole movie is oppressive, and every character is in a certain sense of imprisonment. The most intuitive is of course the two girls imprisoned. After losing her daughter, she was a white mother trapped in pain. Next is Mr. Dover played by Jackman. Many people say that Dover is brave and responsible, the only person in the injured family who dares to act. What I saw was a man who was overwhelmed by responsibility and guilt after losing his daughter.
It can be seen from the beginning of the film that Dover’s family financial situation is not well-off. His father left in a hurry (inferred from the fact that the leftover house has not been renovated) and the pressure of the family burden has always tested whether he can protect the whole family. Confidence. And the moment he really started to act may be the confession of his wife that seemed to be to the Lord and to the husband, "You (had) made me feel so safe. You said that you would protect us from any harm." Regardless of whether his wife is condemning him, finding and saving his daughter is the only opportunity he has left to prove to himself that he is capable of protecting the family when he is in the collapsed stage. In fact, since his daughter disappeared, Dover has actually been trapped in the self-imprisonment of "Is it my cause, that my daughter disappeared". When he finally found a target, Alex naturally became the target of his vent. The catharsis here does not mean violent venting, but rather a release of psychological guilt-----I finally found someone to blame. The wrong person is this person. As long as I find my daughter, I can atone for it. A mentality to reduce self-blame.
I didn't take a closer look at the film, and there are still fast forwards in many places. For the time being, I will start to make up for it later. Here are the remaining points:
Detective Loki is the calmest and most stressful character in the film. What kind of imprisonment is he in? I think he is in a responsibility to deal with the conflict between justice and reality. The whole movie is completely at work, and the occasional act of stroking the ring finger ring at the victim's house can not help but remind people that he is also working hard for some reason to make up for something.
The old women whose husbands ran away, ALEX, the snake-raising man, and the psychological imprisonment of these people can be dig deeper.
I still feel that the film director does not want to discuss too much about jurisprudence and lynching or even torture. What I saw was that he showed me the state of self-imprisonment of the human mind, and these states seem to be external causes, but they are all self-determinations, otherwise everyone's reaction will not be different. And out of the predicament, the director used a variety of ways to deal with it---------the suicide of the snake-raising man and the old woman couple, Dover's self-sacrifice, Loki's perseverance, and Alex's patience.
Speaking of people's thoughts of reading "What Does the Diamond Sutra Say" two days ago, I remembered a sentence: People are like Qiuhong who come to believe, and things are like spring dreams without a trace.
