Classic review

It's not the first time I watched the movie "Training Day". The last time I watched it was in junior high school, but it was a castrated version. The last time I watched the movie, I kept the impression that Jack shot and killed Alorzo, and also deleted the plot of the Russian gang, so the experience of this re-watching is quite good.

The movie "Training Day" itself is a classic crime film, and the nominations and awards for important awards such as the Oscar Golden Globe are the affirmation of the film. In the movie, Denzel Washington, the anti-narcotics policeman Alorzo, is an experienced, black-and-white detective. He learned some basic rules and knowledge in contact with drug dealers and gangs. In the first half, Alorzo always gave me a sense of being a person who is both righteous and evil. The first thing that came to mind when seeing a girl raped by poisonous insects was to snatch drugs and dollars. Forcing Jack to take drugs and oppressing the gang with his power, it also taught Jack the way to survive. The second half broke my mind. From the beginning, I didn't think about accepting Jack, but only thought about how to use the newcomers. He has been oppressing with violence, and when he is defeated by the rookie Jack, the self-eating gangs no longer protect him.

It is difficult to distinguish between right and evil in the movie. The detective should protect the informant, but the informant is the biggest drug lord. The informant is like collecting money for the police, and after fattening the police, he just gives up. The police caught the criminal, but the criminal seized the loopholes in the criminal law to get rid of the crime. The police only had to break the law to deal with the criminal. This is also a place worthy of reflection in the film, which is more like showing the chaos in the society to the society in the form of light and shadow.

    Let me count first: we have Denzel Washington, Antoine Fuqua, and David Ayer...So what? Let me count it again: we have a credible person, a person who makes the credible person more credible, a person who makes the city around him equally credible, and a person who is as credible as the previous one. That's it.

    There can be no perfect system in the world. People's hearts and reality are always cruel. Bad cop is unsuccessful and lacks help, and finally has to rely on violence to control violence. -------Eva Mendes originally needed to be naked to be a small role ten years ago.

Training Day quotes

  • Stan Gursky: [in a steakhouse restaurant] Alonzo, heard you had an expensive weekend in Vegas. How did you ever screw up so bad?

    Alonzo: Hey, I didn't know. It's not my town. I'm not omniscient.

    Lou Jacobs: The Russians don't care if you have a badge. They'll whack you. You ought to hop a jet out of here.

    Alonzo: Why? It's an easy fix. I'll just cash in on an account.

    Stan Gursky: Which one?

    Alonzo: One of my old ones, my first one. The guy's a high security risk anyway. If I'm not around, who's gonna help keep him off the radar?

    Stan Gursky: All right, it's your call. I do not want you to dick this up. I don't want to see you on the front page like the rest of those assholes.

  • Jake: [after meeting with the Three Wise Men] How much money was in that bag?

    Alonzo: 40 G's.

    Jake: What was that for?

    Alonzo: You really wanna know?

    Jake: Yeah. I asked, didn't I?

    Alonzo: Nothing's free in this world, Jake. Not even arrest warrants.

    Jake: Shit, I didn't wanna know.
