Emily Blunt's appearance is indeed attractive enough, far more than the assistant role in "The Devil wears Prada". It's just that this wonderful image was quickly diluted, and after watching the whole film, I felt that there were only two words dangling in front of my eyes - system.
The Destiny Bureau, made up of chairmen and top hat-wearing clerks, is the largest institution in the world. They rule the world, regardless of country, region, or race. The fate of all people is predetermined and written in the book, and the lessons must be performed according to the schedule without deviation. The male protagonist in the film, Norris, is a person who will fight against fate. He is patient and wise, and in the end, he is beautiful. But when I saw the happy ending of the male protagonist Norris and the female protagonist Elis at the end of the film, I felt a little sad. At the beginning, I didn't know where this sadness came from, so I could only be silent. And then after thinking about it, I found the reason for the sadness. That's because the victory of the struggle belongs to Norris alone, not the victory of those who pursue free will in all systems. Why do you say that? When the male protagonist Norris decided to leave everything behind to fight for free will, he relied on the planning and arrangement of Harry, a small secretary from the Destiny Planning Bureau, and when he struggled to the point of nowhere, it was Harry who got the Destiny Planning Bureau. The new appointment of the Supreme Leader, Chairman, allows Norris's fate to be modified to suit Norris's own wishes, and at the end Norris's own satisfactory fate is written in the new planning book.
Isn't that something to be sad about? If it wasn't for Harry's behavior in the system that violated the system, the male protagonist Norris would have no choice but to kill the enemy. Why was Harry sympathetic? Is it because of emotion or morality? When fighting against the arbitrary system of the system, how can the protesters pin their victory on the sympathy and introspection within the system or other moral inspiration?
And the Chairman is the Chairman after all. When the struggle at the bottom reaches a certain level, there is no need to spend a lot of effort to eliminate them, as long as... recruit security. The struggle was over when Norris, the male lead, accepted Harry's new, revised destiny plan that fit his wishes. Norris was victorious, he had a personal victory, a better destiny for self-satisfaction. Chairman also shared the happy ending, because the operating rules of the Fate Planning Bureau are business as usual. And free will loses.
