A new interpretation of the old story

It’s actually an old-fashioned story about police corruption, but the director’s screenwriter slowly unfolds it with suspense, and the motion of igniting the fire at every turn makes the audience dumbfounded. They don’t know what the evil anti-drug agent will do next and what they will do. What's the intention, coupled with Denzel Washington's gorgeous performance, so the character image is completely new, the intention is sublimated, and the values ​​are questioned again and again in the process of watching the movie. The characters are rich in levels, unlike ordinary movies. It is not the plot and the characters that go up together, but the plot gradually goes to a climax, and the characters gradually collapse: from the initial preconceived and aggressive image setting, to the central part is also good and evil. The fullness of the layered sense of the character, and the complete collapse of the final character image, Denzel’s interpretation is supernatural, open and unrestrained, quiet and detailed, dynamic and dynamic, large lines, with just the right body language and eyes, all kinds of complex, each This kind of rational conflict is constantly laying out a full and three-dimensional character, but there is no trace of it. The audience seems to be the rookie police detective. They are fascinated by this mysterious image, and they are constantly getting used to it by Denzel's performance. Thinking about it sexually, his words make sense. A police detective with practical capabilities should be so familiar with the dark side of society until his team attacked, shotguns ruthlessly blasted the informant, and familiarly arranged the right. Confessions, even scheming to lay out the rookie into the water. The audience realized that this capable detective had gone astray, and that this role was not what was expected. A rather distinctive image of a corrupt policeman, he has his own ethical and moral values. Although he has unknowingly conflated and is hated by black and white, he still believes in himself, right. The predicament he was in was not at all chaotic, and he played and played a lively character against a rookie. Of course, Ethan Hawke is also quite powerful. As a contrasting role that is purely good for defending the image of the police, he played the image of this "rookie" very lifelike, and Denzel's performance, with his foil, is even more like a fish in water. Without the simplicity of a rookie, the complexity of reality cannot be seen. Without the persistence of a rookie, the audience's values ​​will almost deviate. The rookie in the movie is almost reining in the precipice. The last persistence may not exist either. A three-dimensional story, two three-dimensional people.

    #trainingday# What I want to say is, teach young people something, if you talk about some conceptual things at the beginning, he may not accept it, the only thing you have to do is to force him to do it. The result is that he really did what you asked. It made me think about training actors, and Ang Lee said something similar. Filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, yes to Michelle Yeoh, tell her a play. To Zhang Ziyi, tell her what to do.

    It would be a sadder story than grief, assuming Alanzo said he "has been planning for a week" to include the entirety of the embezzlement of the three million Russians will also be killed, so I simply choose a new police officer to participate in the training day, hoping to teach him what he has learned in his life. Due to the tight time, he can only use a series of negative teaching materials..."
