Every character has its dark side
Velda 2022-03-19 09:01:03
Operation Swordfish showcases a world in which nothing is entirely real and where the loyalty of each character becomes elusive. With a series of hits such as Oscar-winning films "The Matrix" and "Haunted House," "Romeo the Deadly," and "Exit," producer Silver has done well in recent years. He said, "The central question of Swordfish is what are these characters doing? Why are they doing it? In this film, the question is all the time. Who is the bad guy and who is the good guy? Gabriel isn't a hero, but is he really a bad guy? Stanley is a good guy, but how good is he? Everything changes, and every character has its dark side."

Axl Torvalds: He exists in a world beyond your world. What we only fantasize, he does. He lives a life where nothing is beyond him. But you know what? It's all a facade. For all his charm and charisma, his wealth, his expensive toys... he's a driven, unflinching, calculating machine. He takes what he wants, when he wants... and disappears.

Stanley: How can you justify all this?
Gabriel: You're not looking at the big picture Stan. Here's a scenario. You have the power to cure all the world's diseases but the price for this is that you must kill a single innocent child, could you kill that child Stanley?
Stanley: No.
Gabriel: You disappoint me, it's the greatest good.
Stanley: Well how about 10 innocents?
Gabriel: Now you're gettin' it, how about a hundred - how about a THOUSAND? Not to save the world but to preserve our way of life.
Stanley: No man has the right to make that decision; you're no different from any other terrorist.
Gabriel: No, you're wrong Stanley. Thousands die every day for no reason at all, where's your bleeding heart for them? You give your twenty dollars to Greenpeace every year thinking you're changing the world? What countries will harbor terrorists when they realize the consequences of what I'll do? Did you know that I can buy nuclear warheads in Minsk for forty million each? Hell, I'd buy half a dozen and even get a discount!
