John is a senior priest in the church. He followed the instructions of the supreme spiritual leader, priest, to lead the police force to eliminate emotional crimes and people who resisted the rule. In a certain mission, his emotional sensitivity made him doubt his partner. After seemingly relentlessly eliminating his partner, he recalled in his dream the epigrams his partner had said before his death. He dreamed of his own His wife was arrested and executed four years ago for stopping using sedatives without permission. Perhaps it was this fluctuation and anxiety that caused him to take out the emotionally suppressive sedative before brushing his teeth and then broke it by mistake, or it was This small fluctuation changed his feelings about the world. In the conversation with the emotional criminal Mary, I think it was the propellant that prompted him to accelerate the change. He could not answer why he was alive, which made him deeply doubt his own existence and mission. He began to try to fiddle with the objects on the table to make them present a better feeling. When he was performing the task, he could feel the blood and life of the so-called "criminals". He tore the cover in the bathroom and watched the sun shine. In the beautiful sky above the city, he shed tears while listening to Beethoven's symphony. He couldn't resist the emotions of that cute puppy, killed the guard patrolling here, and got in touch with the underground resistance organization. The transformation that happened to him was noticed by his new partner who wanted to climb up, and he was secretly followed and tested. He became increasingly unable to conceal his emotions, and finally collapsed on the slabs of the square when the female prisoner Mary was incinerated. superior. Change must happen, hope is pinned on him!
I think this is an excellent movie, first of all because of the visual enjoyment it brings to us. The movie clearly puts forward the concept of action martial arts, although these action scenes are very similar to "The Matrix", even in many sections. Traces of imitation, but it gives a clear concept of gun martial arts. It is not to give superpowers to change time through time and space, but to calculate the probability of the enemy’s distribution position, the probability of the trajectory of the bullet that is shot at oneself, and the best probability of shooting the enemy by oneself through precise training from small to large, so as to improve the attack. The efficiency of killing the enemy. Martial arts is to raise the human body's potential to the limit, and firearms are the power of Western modern technology. Combining these two abilities, it brings us a very pure and beautiful visual pleasure. The exciting shooting scenes in the opening scene, the rescue of the puppy showdown against the patrol team, the hunting of the underground organization and other action scenes all made us feel the refreshment of the action. The more exciting climax is the final climax of Christian in white. After breaking into the priest's residence and killing dozens of heavily guarded guards in the marble hall, he easily killed eight senior priests and his partner, and finally confronted the vice chairman who was hidden behind the priest's identity. Actions are relatively easy to attract our attention. The film is also very good in handling music and colors. The low-key of the film is gray, black, dark blue and other depressive tones without emotion, dark gray cities, dark gray clothes, and even dark gray. Television broadcasts, black and white houses and beds, are full of emotional metaphors; only when he recalls his wife, finds artwork, and the scenes where Mary appears, are they colorful. That represents the beauty and hope of the emotional world.
This movie did not achieve great success. The big reason may be the simplification of the ending and the oversimplification and directness of the processing. Relying solely on individual power to make a comeback, and the entire society was quickly liberated after the chairman was eliminated. Such a depth really cannot compete with other films such as "The Matrix" in plot. But the meaning of the film is still worth thinking about. Human emotions and desires are indeed the source of social progress. Emotions and desires promote the progress of society, create highly developed technological civilization and art, and also bring negative energy such as jealousy, hatred, anger and violence. Under Libria’s rule, humans can certainly avoid the destruction of species brought about by nuclear war, but what is truly shocking is what Mary asked the priest: What is life for? If there is no emotion, no regret, no pain, life is just for continuation. Being alive, the breath is like a swinging clock, meaningless. The underground opponents understand this. In fact, the vice chairman who rules Libria also understands that there are magnificent artworks and decorations in the hall where he lives. He also admitted that he had emotions before his death. Are drugs and brainwashing only aimed at the people? ? Is it just for a few people to enjoy the beauty of luxury? Or is it for a few people to sacrifice their emotions in exchange for the freedom of mankind as a whole? Emotional freedom may indirectly bring war and misfortune, but extreme strangulation is not an ideal form. Containment is like blocking water. The higher a dam is built, the more dangerous it will collapse.
If you think about this problem at a higher level, does Libria’s management style have positive values? Although it stifles human emotions, it avoids the killing and extinction of human beings. This is like the "The Matrix Is there any value in the human beings living with a tube in "? Appropriate guidance and regulation, I think it may have a positive meaning, so that humans are no longer so insatiable, no longer jealous, hate and anger, and contain negative emotions and factors, but retain the positive things that bring human feelings. The extreme dictatorship and brainwashing rule will inevitably be resisted and collapsed, but anarcho-liberalism, which is completely laissez-faire, is also brewing a huge crisis.
