Excellent example of an escape film

"The End of the World" can be said to be a classic narrative escape film. The storyline of the film is reminiscent of another very famous escape film "The Shawshank Redemption". If it is "Shaw", it is more about freedom , I think this film focuses more on justice. The protagonist was framed and fled to seek the truth on the way to prison, the police chased all the way, and the various characters and relationships unfolded. It can be said that the rhythm of this film is quite compact, the plot is ups and downs, and it is full of drama. The montage technique is fully used in the editing of the film. Now, the interspersed with the meeting and the superposition of different scenes, it gives people a very strong sense of visual impact and increases the layering of the film. The three main characters have distinct personalities, the protagonist is smart, kind, brave, the attorney general is persistent, constantly chasing the truth, Dennis's mercenary, cunning, and the constant transformation of the relationship between the three constitute the film's continuous contradictions and conflicts, and there are no lack of tender details , Jin Bo's humanized expression reflected in his medical records, and the final reconciliation between Jin Bo and the Attorney General. Although there are also depictions and ridicules of incompetent and lazy policemen, the final expression is still the unremitting pursuit of justice.
