After a lot of chatter, I just wanted to lead to the movie I watched today - Enemy of State.
Before watching it, I didn't know what kind of story Will Smith would tell me, but seeing this man, I don't think this movie will How bad.
The story goes, a politician murders a congressman in an attempt to pass a nationwide surveillance bill. But the entire process of the murder was recorded. Smith's lawyer accidentally obtained the record and became involved in the conspiracy and pursuit.
The most impressive thing in the whole story is the powerful surveillance system. The variety of cameras, voice recorders, helicopter surveillance, satellite surveillance... all are breathtaking. I have to sigh that people living in modern society seem to really have no privacy at all. Unless you really hide in the building where the copper walls and iron walls block all signals, all your actions are under the surveillance of others. But wasn't that concrete building smashed to pieces later?
I think the core of this film's attention is still a "human rights and security" issue. At the beginning of the film, we see that those so-called politicians sacrifice a person's life to pass such a surveillance bill that aims to ensure the security of the entire country. How can such sacrifice of human rights achieve the so-called security, and finally security in the end Who is in the power of security? During the progress of the film, there was such a picture: the politician's family said that as long as the bill was passed, he would be able to reach a new peak in his career. Yes, in fact, it is not at all to protect the security of the entire country. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than fulfilling selfish desires.
But security must be maintained after all. But are we really only safe through invasion? Behind security is power. Abuse of power can be slaughter. In the end how to make these two lines can be parallel to the forward, I did not find the answer from the video. But in the end, Smith's wisdom was finally shown, and the two "good and evil" forces killed each other, and the final outcome ended with Smith's success. (Although this ending made me a little excited when Smith took the politician into the underworld hotel, but I still want to complain, Nima's punishment for the politician is too light! Just died in the shootout , actually seems a little heroic. Is there
something wrong with my aesthetics!) Finally, summarize the advantages and disadvantages of this movie. First of all, I like Will very much. In "The Pursuit of Happiness", I saw the greatness of a father, and here, I saw the responsibility of a man, the perseverance to abandon him in the face of the whole world! Second, the movie feels Hollywood-like. The rhythm is so tight that my blood vessels are throbbing. Although it's still those clichéd racing chases, which Sao Nian wouldn't like such a heartbeat? From the theme to the performance, it is undoubtedly a very good movie, and it is a movie worth watching. However, in order to match the characteristics that I always complain about every time I watch a movie, I also want to talk about its faults. Although there are not many problems: politicians die too happy! The end of the story is interspersed with people who want to retaliate with their own methods, and I was so excited that I thought they would make a big move. Unexpectedly, it was just to simply scare him and ask him out. No! It didn't meet my expectations at all! However, perhaps that kind of shootout ending is what the director wanted: in the face of absolute authority and strength, we assholes have no chance at all. Perhaps, all we can do is "control violence with violence".
At the end of the story, Smith was sitting on his sofa watching TV. The TV showed his own surveillance footage, and then everything turned into a frolic with the person who helped him. This is what the director wants to convey in the end: in the face of surveillance, we can do nothing, it is better to laugh at surveillance and live a happy life. Otherwise, along with privacy, our joy is also deprived.
Because the government has no right to invade my home.
