Although it is classified as a B-level film, the point of view is to stimulate the senses, but it still does not forget to show the immigration problem faced by American society (although it may be a bit exaggerated) and the justice that the machetes defend. This may be the characteristic of American films. Even if the story is mentally retarded, it must show a spirit and a value in it.
A large number of immigrants flock to the United States, through a variety of means, legal and illegal. They all come here with the desire to pursue a better life, although many of them will suffer various hardships, even living a life that is even more difficult than at home. But they are still there, because there is hope there, and there is nothing to go back! Illegal immigrants don't deserve to die, it's the people who make them take the risk. Treating them can't be as rough and simple as crushing cockroaches, and "cockroaches" will never go away because you're rough with them, it's important to find the source of "cockroaches" and get rid of it. Solving the conflict between immigrants and aboriginal people is an art, and it requires all managers to express it with wisdom and literacy.
The phrase "law is law, justice is justice" in the film is very similar to a phrase often said by Chinese heroes in the green forest, "act for heaven". The law is usually given the status of sacrosanct because the orderly operation of a group requires a rule that everyone abides by. If the law is not "sacred", then no one obeys it, and the group cannot function normally. , the interests of the people who make and need the relevant laws cannot be protected, so it needs this sacred cloak. The law protects the rights and interests of the majority, and is especially beneficial to the group that enacted it, and is given a sacrosanct status by this group, and requires all other groups to comply with it, whether it harms their interests or not. Therefore, the law is relative, it protects relative justice, and sometimes it will be like the law of the jungle, and it will kill the dog to feed the weak, but justice is absolute, that is, "Tao". The values reflected in this film are that when the law and justice conflict, we must resolutely raise the banner and act for the heaven.
The existence of multiple values is like a complex ecosystem. Although there are constant conflicts, it will continue to exist for a long time. A single ecosystem is always in danger of collapse.
There are a few highlights in the film not to be missed:
A cell phone taken out of a flower stem / The 16-meter-long intestine and its elasticity / The doorman's sympathy for immigrant labor contributed to his damnation / The ups and downs of the senator's fate at the end
