Going back to the movie, the filming technique is very good, and it is sub-real, because it is not really dead. The previous American police and gangster films were the main theme output, desperately showing equipment, bravery and the conclusion that bad guys must die. This is a movie you can empathize with. Why do people scold the police and the police can't retaliate? Why do people beat the police and the police can't change hands? This is the default logic of many people in the country. In the public, I can bully the police, but if you can’t touch me, I will take a photo of it and send it to you online for a criticism meeting. Any punishment you give me is wrong. You must not go back to the police station with you. When you go back, you will beat me up, and no one can help me avenge my grievance. State institutions are all related to corrupt officials, and there are conspiracies in everything. We will never consider issues from each other's point of view, just blindly you want to hit me, you want to kill me, you want to smack me. So we look down on our own police, and like the police with crooked nuts. I also like the police officers in this film. They don’t have a high education. They work hard every day. Especially when they were put on the back with four guns at the end, the police's reaction was not to put their hands on the country's head and use the strategy of delaying soldiers to save their lives, but to do it with a gun, knowing that they would die and still do it with a gun, which is different from too many scenes in the film different. The director wanted to say that justice will not surrender to evil, and also responded to the opening of the film, "yes, I can be killed. And although I'm but one man...I have thousands of borthers and sisters who are the same as me."
To be honest, I liked the film that Gyllenhaal watched, and the story itself made me less focused on the actor's performance after watching it. I will think about our own police officers, about their day and the risks they face.
