Jack Bower Returns

"24 Hours" has always been my favorite American drama. Different from the scribbled design of "Heroes", which turns hands into clouds and rains, Jack Bower, the protagonist of "24 Hours", is very human, but he acts ruthlessly. In the prequel to the seventh season, Jack is old, his eyes are melancholy and determined, and he is always in a desperate situation, seeking hope in the impossible. You can feel the loneliness in his heart, the kind of loneliness that wants to stop and embrace the warmth, but has to move forward alone.

[Classic lines] The right to rule comes from three basic human rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. (with the image of the president's son friend being buried), even if we carry the torch lit by our predecessors, we must remember that the fire will not shine as always, it will flicker and dim, due to indifference, greed and fear. The prelude of the seventh season changed to a female president. Thinking of the previous black president Palmer and the real Obama, does it indicate that Hillary will be the next president?

Your husband is a strong man, but he doesn't think like you. It's not a question of whether or not I think about it, I miss my son all the time, but we're going to war right now, and grief is too much of a luxury for me.

It's better to make everything public. Over the years, we have done a lot of secret things in the name of protecting the country and the people. The country and the people have the right to know the truth, so they can decide how far they want us to go. . (Whether terrorists, counter-terrorism agents, government officials, everyone is doing what they think is right, everyone has their own reasons, the screenwriter is to find these reasons) The

first is the National Grid, once paralyzed, there will be countless Millions of people are without electricity, massive blackouts will lead to riots in big cities, and even worse, water treatment and transmission systems, poisoning by damaging critical dams and sewage treatment plants, and even polluting drinking water on a massive scale, More people will then die of dehydration. (It can be seen how fragile the security of the city is, if there is a long-term power outage and water outage, it will have to sit still)

[Plot Comments] At the beginning of the seventh season, Jack Bower's friend Tony Almeida was resurrected and became a terrorist, perhaps because the protagonists are too unfamiliar, and the new character relationship has not yet unfolded, and I haven't watched half an episode yet. into play. The role of the female president lacks convincing. Among the several presidents, Palmer is undoubtedly the most impressive one: integrity, perseverance, courage, loyalty, the charm of a politician is to be convincing .

[Regrets] I thought that the design of stepping on mines was very clever, but later I found that "Assembly" had already used the same bridge. In the first episode "Redemption", the friend of the president's son died. In the first episode of the seventh season, the president's son also died, but it was only a secret account, but he was not the same actor in the photo and the first episode.

I don't like heroes who are all-powerful, and the reason a heroic work like "24" strikes me is because it reflects a hero who is struggling in a difficult situation. Everyone has heroic complexes more or less. They fulfill our unfulfilled dreams on our behalf. They will never compromise through hardships. We long for such extraordinary courage, but if we are only envious, we will not change our lives in any way. . What's more, heroes sometimes can't control their own destiny. In a repressed society, unpredictable people's hearts, and heavy resistance, no matter how great a hero is, they can't escape the cage of the times.

    To be honest, I don't think the rhythm is very catchy. The whole story has a strong sense of weaving, and the protagonist's character image is relatively thin, making it completely impossible for people to enter the play.
