The scene that moved me the most in this film was when Ga-bo was forced by the robbers to tell the story of taking bribes. He's just a little guy, and he's just done all the 'grey deals' that he almost always does in his position, he said, even if the company that bribed him didn't give him money, he'd still be in a better or worse situation I chose that company's products. In fact, he didn't want to take bribes. He didn't want to cheat at all. It's just that this 'unspoken rule' made him passively accept bribes, and the money he took bribes was actually used to pay his children's school fees. It was his most vulnerable and private place as a father, and also his greatest place. A father, a seemingly upright clerk, willing to sell the dignity of a good father, a good clerk, and a normal person in exchange for the robber's dignity for something that has almost nothing to do with him without any evidence that he took bribes. calm down. This is a surprising and finishing touch, a collision point, and the most valuable plot of the film.
As for the robbers, whether they are the mastermind or their accomplices, they use Gong Geer to tamper with MJ's lyrics: forced. They are all diligent and diligent ordinary workers, but because of their work mistakes or being too ordinary, they suffer unbearable injustice and oppression. Their extreme approach is a kind of catharsis, and their deepest intention may not be to extort the money at all. Just like Rhett's original intention was not at all about the 10 million. Speaking of Reid. He is a tragic figure. He is well versed in the ways of making money in the financial industry, but maybe 10 years ago, he made technical mistakes because he felt that this 'Tao' was too immoral and did not follow it, and it was because of the 'strike hard' against financial crimes. Sentenced to 10 years, which should have only served 2 or 3 years in prison, so that the glorious days when he once took a big ass model to Iceland are gone forever, but instead he became a prisoner of contempt by everyone, but that big ass girl may be The favorite of his life. He refused to accept it. He wanted to find an outlet for his grievances. He also needed to make a big deal to comfort his soul and give himself a powerful account in order to wash away the grievances that were despised. So he planned this case to make a steady profit of 300 million US dollars.
Fortunately, he waited until the moment of success. If it weren't for Gabo, he would have even hugged a big-ass girl in Iceland. Although he hung up, he still succeeded. In the end, he was caught by Gabo, which was actually a very perfect ending, because his goal had been achieved. Even if he took the 300 million US dollars, he could not get back the glory he was 10 years ago. At least he has completely changed his mood. He is also a person with a conscience. He always blames himself for the sins he has committed. Besides, he is a Catholic. He needs someone to end it all and cleanse his heart. This person is Gabo, He is a person who makes Reid feel kind and human. Reid wants to use his own death to do a valuable thing, that is, let Gabo regain honor and dignity, and he did it.
And the robber who was killed by the rat (only read it once, forgot his name) is a tragedy. From his sloppy appearance and his words, it can be seen that he has almost no pursuit of material things, he is just in Seeking to vent is just a small way to regain his dignity, but he chose the wrong way, death is too cruel to him, but that is the price.
The screenwriter of this film is really good, it can be said to be close to the master level, the analysis of human nature and the observation of life are very good, but what the work reflects is not artificially using the dark side of human nature to express his power of observation, but Show the beauty and helplessness of this world with the bright side of human nature and the fragile and strong side of feelings. We can read our emotions from every character in it, no matter from Gabo's fragility and greatness, negotiator's calmness and helplessness, mayor's hypocrisy and honesty, boss's dissatisfaction and patience, Gabo's wife's plain love , the urgency of the police to guard the tranquility regardless of their own lives, or the madness of Reid to vent, his accomplices are dissatisfied with life, the post-80s generation who love to play online videos are always unwilling to take the responsibility of loving a person, white-collar workers who can't urinate The veiledness and innocence of children, a small emotional touch leads to passers-by who are willing to take care of their lives..., all of which depict the richness of the human emotional world. It has to be said that this is a very successful film. While expressing the brilliance of human nature and caring for some vulnerable emotional groups, the author does not forget to expose the greed of capital - for profit, capital can ignore everything, including life.
Relatively speaking, the director of this film is a bit rotten, at least he shouldn't have put a bunch of sneaky looters with a lot of dangerous weapons into the world's most secure, once hit by plane 2 buildings at almost the same time. Building of New York City subway station. Many details have been criticized by netizens, especially the ending is not the scene with his wife and 2 people. In fact, this is also one of my resentments, but these can't change this film. It is true that Denzel Washington and John W. Travolta's good film of two heavyweight actors is really worth watching, especially in the context of the financial crisis, this is especially touching.
