This is a tragedy, a tragedy of complete despair

After reading the previous comments, not to mention the problem of not being able to see the plot clearly, this may require a certain background knowledge. For the international arms trade, the operating mechanism of the state machine already requires a certain understanding in order to understand why the plot develops like in the play. .
What I want to say is that as the director of "Lola Run", if someone calls it an old-fashioned plot, I can't agree. Such a director is unlikely to allow such a thing to happen, whether it is from personal pursuit or from the market. level is unlikely. If we put aside the wonderful dialogue in the film, and the possibly immature presentation of the technical details of reconnaissance and espionage. The biggest breakthrough of the main plot lies in the tragic ending. How could such a personal heroism film ever have such a failure? The same foreshadowing for this tragic ending, the whole film did not create the so-called behind-the-scenes blackheads, we can't say that the board of directors of the bank needs to be responsible for the problems encountered in the film, everyone is doing their part, it's just Some people have violated the law or violated morals, and some people have created a series of conflicts in order to maintain the law or maintain justice, but in the end, the hero in the film also embarked on a road of no return outside the system, for the so-called justice (which can also be understood as Justice seems to be a word) abandoning his own moral principles, but when he points a gun at the bank chairman alone, we suddenly find that violence and extra-system behavior are equally incapable of solving the problem. What followed was complete despair. We could neither see hope within the system nor start from outside the system. All we could do was accept and integrate into this less moral and less just society.
I also want to talk about my own thoughts, maybe not as desperate as the movie said, although the existing system cannot give us a solution, but looking at the historical system, we can still find too many improvements. , although it is not as perfect as some people advertised, but we should not deny the existence of progress, we should also believe in the future, maybe it is impossible for human beings to find a perfect system to solve all problems, but the world is progressing after all If I can put some effort into this progress, I'll be content.
