In general this can be defined as an educational thriller.
In fact, the director's intention is easy to understand. He is nothing but heartbroken at the indifference and selfishness among Americans now, but preaching in the traditional way of disaster films or hero films obviously has no effect. This extremely violent topic and content frame attracts the interest and attention of those who tend to be violent, and tries to awaken the original softness and warmth in their hearts through the final turn.
Damn, is he trying to win the Nobel Peace Prize?
In the current context of Chinese society, there are only a few themes I can read:
1. Kindness to others is cruelty to oneself
2. Natural selection, survival of the fittest: Now, the weak just don’t live well That's it; in the future, maybe there is no chance of even survival.
3. Rufu is envied.
This film is rated as an R-rated horror film in the United States, but it seems that it can be shown in cinemas? ! I rely on, this kind of idea of a nationwide legal slaughter can be openly put on the big screen in the United States. The United States is really a country that is free enough and scary enough. No wonder they can come up with lurid creative murders such as black dahlias, blue Kerr, and cannibalism. Where can the citizens who are immersed in this violent aesthetic film all stop? !
But the film's message is well-founded, that America's stipulation of allowing guns will lead to dire consequences in the long run. One day in the future, there may really be an annual National Mopping Up Day.
