Big Events and Small Days

I got up and walked out of the movie theater. I said to my companions, it seems that being a small person with no money has the benefits of being a small person. If you live a small life, you don’t have to worry about your life being in danger at any time. so hard.

This is off topic.

I am very interested in this kind of films that look at the insider of international criminal groups and find it very exciting. Especially when the clues are cut off again and again, and then the justice party dealt with it again and again, it satisfies my aesthetic needs.

But some things are hidden in the fast-moving plot:

1. The problem of the system.
This sounds like a big deal, but the ubiquitous system can sometimes be overwhelming. The paradox that legal systems used to regulate complex human activities ultimately limit the very purpose of "regulating human activities" is an interesting one.

2. The question of choice.
Everyone has what they want to be, but whether ends justify the means. Then remember when the old man talked to him, he said, everyone has a choice, your choice makes you what you are, but in the end, he surrendered Yu old man's choice was to take the path he didn't intend to take. The old man told him that naturally there were casualties. As the male protagonist, he naturally did not become one of the casualties, but in real life, without a real protagonist, anyone could become one of the casualties. So do you have to choose?

3. Such banks will always exist.
There is some truth to what the CEO said before his death, because there is a country, a political power, and a state machine. Capital always flows to the place with the highest interest, and an absolutely fair market does not exist, so ideally, the greater the risk, the higher the benefit. The risk of T-bill seems to be zero, but once T changes hands, zero risk becomes the highest risk, and it is subject to a wide range of forces. Then pol is really a power of high risk and high payback isn't it?

4. Theme
Seeing that in the end, the CEO was resolved within different interest groups, and then the bank was still running. So I was a little confused. So, is this internal friction inevitable? Internal friction does not lead to the termination of this crime, it is just that the perpetrators of the crime are different. So, is the real theme of this film - come on, no one is able to stop this because everyone is involved? Oh, it turns out that world peace is so unattainable. Well, it's one reason. The real conundrum is you know - such conundrums are unsolvable.

In the end, I feel that the plot arrangement of this film is relatively compact, and it is not very scary. Since it is not the life of ordinary people, it will naturally not hurt the nerves. There are also quite a few films about transnational crime. This one, as can be seen from the Chinese translation, is naturally prepared to play the card of financial turmoil. Although it is a marketing card, it can be seen from the media report on the bank at the end of the film that ordinary people are always deceived. Ha, that's how credit is born.

Let's live our little days. We are just ordinary members of the crowd.

    Overall it's not very good, the translation is too poor, and it feels a bit messy.

    6/10. The complex interests of the wrong track are too deep, whether it is the cold and chilling narrative atmosphere, the commercial action of popcorn is not up to the standard, the escape from the skylight and the tracking along the market house can see that I want to imitate "Bourne Bourne" , but the director was tied to death by the literary shelf. Besides, the type model of the lone agent fighting the world is too common, and it can be done by handing over the evidence to the media according to the routine.
