I want to be a JUMPER

You can remember most of the plot after watching it once, and I personally think Jumper is a pretty good movie. To briefly analyze or comment on this movie, I want to start with the character of the hero:

the hero of this story David is an immature romantic
whose immaturity is reflected in:
1. Stealing money from the bank will not share Steal many times, steal a little less each time. The first crime aroused policeism and also attracted the attention of Paladin.
2. Teach the "classmate" Mark, who had been bullying him before, to send him into the bank vault using jumper's skills. Doesn't that make it obvious for Paladin to find him? Even let Paladin find his relatives and lovers.
3. The last point is that Mark told Roland, the leader of Paladin, all his information, and he went to Mark to ask him why he did it! Mark knows that other people are Paladin, and he doesn't know what Paladin is...
We can't think that this is the reason why the screenwriter Naïve, I think, since David grew up in a single family (the reason why his mother left is mentioned later and), his father is not very good to him, plus he is often bullied at school, it is normal to have some distortions in the mind, it is normal for the mind to be immature, and it is normal to do things impulsive and reckless - you pay attention to him every time When confronting Paladin, it is actually very impulsive. So I think this story is to set such a male protagonist.
And let's keep an eye out, David remembers the same place twice when his life is in danger! Not home, not some beautiful view! Not even at the door of his lover's house or downstairs! Rather: the library! ! ! It proves that the imprint of the library has been deeply engraved in his mind! He may usually be a child who reads too hard, or even a nerd. It also has something to do with why he is so easily bullied.

The reason why the male protagonist is a romantic and has delicate love is that the male protagonist David's love for the female protagonist Millie is reflected in many scenes!
1. Crystal Ball: Don't think that the crystal ball has some mysterious power that allows David to get the jumper skills! David was able to jump when he was 5 years old. The crystal ball expresses David's love for Millie! David went to the thin ice for the crystal ball, and finally fell into danger, inspiring his Jumper potential. Before David left, he didn't forget to put the crystal ball in Millie's yard. Tell Millie that he's alive and that the crystal ball is on his mind.
2. Travel around the world: Don't think David is such a fun person! He is a nerd! Everyone loves to travel the world, but it was definitely Millie who inspired him to do it! Every tourist attraction posted in his home is probably something Millie wants to go to. Especially Rome. I guess he has been there countless times.
3. After N years, I will not forget this love, it is really long. It's not enough to build up after Roland's comfortable hometown was dragged down. After returning home and getting $$$, I went to Millie. The first thing you do when you enter Millie's bar is to stare at others for 45 minutes...
4. Rescue Millie desperately. Really desperate. In the end I think he has the ability to move the whole house (probably better with "suck") to the library, mostly to protect Millie's heart. Think about how good he was a few times before? no! Mainly because this time he wasn't protecting himself, but Millie. It was love that inspired him! However, there is a small flaw in a later scene: before, another Jumper Griffin mentions: a jumper moved a building because of his will, and finally hung up. But this time David jumped a house with so much effort, only to wake up after being fanned by Millie. It's too fast... It should have been until Roland did it vulgarly to kill the two of them before David suddenly rushed to take Roland Jump to an uninhabited place.

The picture of this story is wonderful:
1. This story can also become a short travel special: many beautiful places are involved. I have not seen the background of the story, so I don’t know if it is a real scene. But friends who like to travel can indeed take a look. Jumper jumps around: Tokyo, Rome, Mount Everest, Pyramids...
2. Jumper is really handsome! Especially the scene where Griffin drives the car with Jump! There are also some scenes of the fight with Paladin.

Some small foreshadowings of this story:
1. Mom's leaving without warning? why?
2. When my mother was in Rome, she saved David at a critical moment.
3. When in Rome, Roland said that he would send more people to hunt down David. Finally, according to one of his subordinates, "she" said that he didn't need so many people, and two was enough. Roland suddenly felt that "she" was suspected of releasing water.
4. Griffin said he learned to jump at the age of 5. At this time, David replied: his mother left him when he was 5 years old. Are the two connected?
At the end of the plot, the truth comes out: David's mother is Paladin, who specializes in killing Jumper. And David is Jumper...everyone has the love of a son. How could a Paladin's mother have the heart to kill her own son? Can only run away from home. The "most tragic character" in this story is automatically generated. David's dad! After my wife left, I was willing to be depraved, and it was not good for my son. How do I know that after my son's Jump potential was stimulated, I also left... I live alone. In the end Roland tracked down his home and killed him. Poor father...

Finally, let's discuss Paladin and Jumper:
Jumper's complaint against Paladin on behalf of Griffin:
1. Killing his parents: Expanded to indiscriminate killing of innocents: Killing Jumper's relatives and friends!
2. It is a group of things similar to "cult organizations". They have extreme worship of certain gods and believe that jumpers have the energy that gods should have, so they try to kill them jumpers.

Paladin represents Roland's complaint against Jumper:
"Abuse of power" goes straight to the point. Use your Jump ability to do all kinds of evil!

It's really hard to tell who's right and who's wrong! Therefore, the story has no ending at the end, they are still fighting, from an economic point of view, just to make a sequel...

Jumper's evil examples:
1. David stole thousands of banks! What about the poor people who keep their money in the bank? How does the country get the funds to govern the society? Not only gain for nothing, but also harm the interests of others!
2. Griffin drives BT in Tokyo! There must be a lot of people in car accidents because of his handsome driving
... The movie does not mention
According to the above example, Jumper did abuse his power!
A person has supreme ability, we can envy him! But it is unreasonable for him to take his own ability as his own power to violate the rights of others.

Paladin's evil is to kill innocent people indiscriminately! But in order to catch these illegal jumpers, as many OMTV writes, it will describe Congress and the White House instructing subordinates to kill some innocent...but lives are priceless.

In this movie, Paladin has an ugly face, and jumper is a handsome guy, and at first glance, he is a good person. But what about the facts? This topic is too large to be discussed in this film.

Looking forward to the sequel to Jumper! I hope there will be some bad guys in Jumper in the next episode~Jumper VS Jumper!

I have only watched the movie once, so there may be some points I haven’t seen through, and I am too lazy to write comments on some plots. You are welcome to add and comment, thank you!
