After hesitating for a while between three stars and two stars, I finally decided to give two stars. The film quality is average, the narrative is interspersed with memories, and the structure played a little magic with the audience (no spoilers, if you are interested, you will know at the end of it) ), this is the only clever part of the film. Others can't be complimented. The storytelling is extremely protracted and uninteresting. Nicole Kidman's "old dress" used as a gimmick is too exaggerated. In addition, Kidman's acting skills are often below the standard. Makes it feel like a play.
What is even more frustrating is that the film finally tried to use maternal love to elevate the theme, but it deeply disgusted the old man.
The following contains spoilers, please read carefully:
The heroine of this film is really an unfaithful, heartless and unloving person.
1. During the undercover process, he fell in love with a colleague and became pregnant with a daughter. First of all, he lacked the principle of being a police officer, and regarded the task as a child's play.
2. The greed broke out when performing the task. As soon as I heard that there was a lot of money to make, I planned to go to the black and eat the black. The hateful thing is that I used the excuse of "seeking happiness for my daughter" to persuade my colleagues who were determined to commit the crime together.
3. There was an accident in a bank robbery. My colleague died in order to protect the bank staff, but this fellow completely abandoned humanity for a bag of banknotes. Hiding in Tibet, let her daughter live as she was when she was young - homeless, rebellious and self-willed.
4. I bought my daughter's love with money, and sent the man my daughter liked away with more than 10,000 dollars (of course, this man is really not a good thing), and I was deeply moved by my behavior. When the other party told her that "your daughter will never love you", the old man took it seriously.
5. The gang leader in those days showed signs of threatening her, and the heroine tried every means to find her whereabouts. She shot without saying a word, and solved the problem by killing people neatly. …
As a law enforcement officer, the female protagonist knows the law and breaks the law, and has done a lot of bad things. It's shameful that every time she does evil, she has to use mother's love as a guise. It's really hypocritical and despicable to the end. If you really love your daughter, how can you watch her grow crooked indifferently, and then self-righteously make such or such decisions for her, forcing her to grow up according to her own wishes?
In the film, there are not many episodes of mother-daughter exchanges. Almost every time, the daughter is angry, the mother is impatient, and the parent-child relationship is almost on the verge of breaking. As a mother, the heroine is busy doing shameful activities, so how can she have the time and mind to listen to her daughter's thoughts and find out what she really needs?
In the end, before she planned to end the leader Cyrus, she made a final communication with her daughter in a very "truthful" way, "You never know how much I love you", a line that moved her to the point of being unable to control herself, daughter The expression on his face was that of understanding, but the expression of Lao Na was as if struck by lightning.
bah bah bah! Let’s have less self-righteous maternal love, and I’m really not afraid of sullying the most beautiful words in this world.
