irrational insistence

I first came into contact with the name Russell Crowe, of course, in the famous Ridley Scott's "Gladiator". After that, I specially watched his "A Beautiful Mind". So he greatly praised his acting skills, thinking that now he is nearly half a hundred years old, he should be more experienced and strong with age. Although it is a remake, but after all, the director is Paul. Haggis, the guy who can control "Crash", is naturally not an ordinary person; since he chose to remake, he naturally showed full courage, courage and talent to interpret new content with old themes. The film begins with a picture of a happy, happy family. Unfortunately, one morning the police take John's wife Laura away on "unwarranted" charges, and when she is arrested, she insists on her husband's innocence ( Of course it does). As a college teacher, John was not helpless, but put an irrational belief into practice - through his own efforts, to save his wife from prison. The film explains the motivation for all his actions after John's speech in a literature class: "The life and times of Don Quixote - rationality destroys the soul and irrational value and powerful force, human beings spend a lot of energy thinking To make the world rational, to make clocks and calendars, to predict the weather, but parts of our lives are completely irrational..." Fighting for a new life by breaking the rules by irrational persistence. This is both John's life creed and the theme of the film. As a result, the strength of this belief and persistence can move forward bravely and ignore the turmoil of reality. In fact, seeing this, I have already guessed most of the ending. The spirit and temperament possessed by this man are beyond anything that other people can possess, and it can be seen from his firm eyes that as long as it is something he believes in, he will definitely pursue it with all his might. Although we have encountered obstacles time and time again, it is not through our own irrational persistence that our lives can be changed, otherwise we will sit still. We have become accustomed to accepting adversity and adapting to the rules, thinking that what is formulated by the rules and what the law recognizes must be correct. When modern civilization is extremely developed, when we have more and more belief in reason, it is the crisis of the times: the supreme law can trample on everything, including human feelings and human nature. Innocent people are wronged by coincidence, and even law enforcement cannot find out the truth. So the protagonist John chose to stick to an irrational self-awareness and expanded his self-awareness to an astonishing level. This film seems to be talking about all the love and trust a man can give to a woman, but it is not. It is calling for a freer return of humanity and a questioning of social order and rationality.

    The inner drama is very full and the acting skills of the actors are very good. Although the technical content is low, it is indeed the most tender jailbreak. For the first time, I felt so strongly about letting them run instead of grabbing them.

The Next Three Days quotes

  • Damon Pennington: But before you do anything, you have to ask yourself if you can do it. Can you forget about ever seeing your parents again? Can you kill a guard? Leave your kid at a gas station? Push some nice old lady to the ground just because she gets between you and the door? Because to do this thing, that's who you have to become. And if you can't, don't start, 'cause you'll just get someone killed.

    John Brennan: How did you get caught?

    Damon Pennington: I gave myself up. I couldn't take wondering when someone was gonna come through the bedroom door.

  • Mike: What do you need?

    John Brennan: Passports, driver's license, a social security number that'll take a credit check.

    Mike: $3,700.

    John Brennan: That's too much.

    Mike: It is if you never get them.
