There are many questions, and no matter how I think about it, I feel that everyone except the protagonist is a victim.

After watching this film, I have a lot of questions. I tried to answer them one by one myself, and finally sorted out the content.
First of all, there should be two hidden characters in this story, temporarily called: "The Prophet" (I think "the mastermind" "There is no "prophet" to express, after all, everyone dies on time) and "Apostle"
1: Why did the white criminal say he was going to Amsterdam before boarding the plane
(two explanations The first one is to earn 100 yuan, Second, this is the joint signal that he is looking for the "prophet", but the "prophet" just wants to recognize his face and did not come out and say I am a prophet)
2: So much white powder is very valuable, people with so much money don't need it Go to hijacking
(the white powder provider must be a group of people who hijacked the plane, otherwise it is impossible for people to know this transaction casually, not to mention that there are bombs in it. Under the above premise, there are two possibilities. The first white powder is true, These people with 2 million US dollars in cash (estimated) launched this hijacking in order to retaliate against the society, the goal is to get 15 million US dollars (the English dialogue is 15 million translated into 150 million). The second white powder is fake, after all, there is only one person Tried true and false. In the end, whether it exploded or the bomb was dropped from the plane (low altitude and atmospheric pressure), no one will pursue the white powder thing.
3: Why did the sender predict that the first victim would die? , the protagonist may be killed by the opponent in the fight, and there is also a possibility that the protagonist will be subdued and the opponent will not be killed.
Everyone can't hear the fight in the toilet, how can the gangster be sure that the first dead person is dead
(two possibilities: First, there is a prophet, who is omniscient and omnipotent to rule out all other possibilities. Second, there is a "prophet" ”, and then “The Prophet” entered the game to complete his own prophecy)
4: Why did the protagonist push the white man to the third victim
(the position he was going to was actually the last row, and that position was less than a meter away from the back passage) , there is absolutely no need to pass through other people's seats. Two possibilities: first: irritable, out of control. Second: deliberately create an opportunity to put the phone)
5: How to target the third victim
(The set mechanism is time-directed. In this case, there are only two possibilities to
hit people. The first is the omniscient and omnipotent prophet, and the second is someone who deliberately brings the target to the designated location at the designated time.) 6: The bomb is not blocked by a third party. Start carefully? Why didn't the bomb makers stay behind?
(The bomb was accidentally activated by the woman and landed at the airport shortly after it exploded in the film. It seems that as long as it is activated 10 minutes later, the bomb can be stably thrown at a low altitude without detonating the pressure device. , this should be the "prophet" miscalculation.)
7: The protagonist obviously had a relationship with him when he
passed the security check to let him bring a gun in (the machine obviously sounded an alarm when he passed the security check, but a staff member told him to go there, don't check He. There are two possibilities: First, they knew him to sell his face. Second, the "Apostle" arranged for him to sneak a gun in.)
8: The white people are not highly educated and have low IQ and are not good at planning. There are others
(white people who are attacked by terrorists, they go to join the army to fight terrorists, and if they can’t figure out why they fight, they go to retaliate against the society. This way of taking one step at a time is in stark contrast to the people who send text messages. There could be no prophet under his leadership. One possibility is that there is a "prophet" behind the scenes to guide him. And using Amsterdam as a signal to call him to come to the "prophet", and then the "prophet" did not recognize him and only regarded him as a prophet. chess pieces.)
9: Why did the protagonist give the policeman a dead gun? What do black people do with a magazine without a gun? Why do black people know where the magazines are?
(I can only think of the protagonist, the police as a courier, delivering guns to the black robbers. Of course, the location of the bullet and the fact that someone will come to deliver the gun is naturally the "prophet" who informed the black robbers in advance)
10: Where did the money go?
(It’s not how I handle the complicated procedures for handling trusts, but black gangsters hacked in to handle it? If you have the ability to transfer money directly from the bank, it would be better, why hijack the plane. The situation at the end of the film is: The money can’t be found, and the person has already gone abroad. Now, all the suspects are dead. The prophet's performance on the plane made everyone think he was a hero. Who is the ultimate beneficiary? Not to mention that the money was not actually remitted. , The apostle's smile can be understood when he finally learned that the money could not be recovered.)
And then I think the situation with everyone in this story is the
protagonist who arranged the whole story, inserted himself into the story as another victim, and ended up getting money and being a hero.
Apostle: As a high-end person in society, he treats the protagonist as a death squad to do this extremely risky thing. And arranged for him all kinds of unreasonable government reports, such as carrying guns on the machine, carrying white powder, carrying bombs, unable to find the bottom of white criminals, real money transfers and so on. But in the end the protagonist has gained all the initiative. Whether the apostle is abandoned or not is entirely at the will of the protagonist, the
criminal: the criminal is summoned by the prophet. Such people are easy to gather. Only two requirements are required.
The first premise is that they hate society and want revenge.
Second they want money
with zero personal ability requirements.
The job is very simple, the only job is to send a message, the other is done by the prophet himself, including bringing all the props and killing everyone. So they just need to send text messages with the mentality of giving it a try. As long as nothing happens, their phone is thrown away, and it doesn't matter to them at all. But the end result was that they were exploited. So they are the biggest victims. They don't actually do anything, they just put a phone and ride a tiger.
