Female: Ben The relationship between the characters in the film is too complicated, I can't understand it!

According to the four-dimensional integrated pull-tab analysis method, we analyze the characters and find the common points of several groups of characters in this film.




They are all involved in drugs, and they have made extraordinary actions, betraying friends, hurting friends and relatives, and making those who are involved in these drugs struggling in the trial of ethics and morality...

So drugs are very evil, and he finally It is often relatives and closest friends who are poisoned. Why do you say this is the Internet, it is a circle, if you are trapped and trapped, you will not be able to stay out of it at all, and you will not be able to get out at all...

Look at these dialogues:

Why is it easier for a high school student to buy drugs than soda?

All you have to do is go to the suburbs and ask those black people on the street if they have drugs? you can get it.

Female: Oh; Oh, it turns out that this is a metaphor, it is really vivid, I suddenly thought of the baseball field at the end of the film, also playing in a net...

I will focus on the interpretation of the scene language at the end of the film!

Therefore, the title of this film is: two characters on the Internet, image, multi-faceted, three-dimensional, multi-angle depicting the big net of drugs, let's see how many stories can be put in it...

Torture, how do you declare war on your relatives? He wanted to focus on this. So we pay attention to the selection of the plot, and now understand the use of that tone?

In addition, different story lines are also woven into a web, and I am reminded almost every time: this connection between the narrative structure of the film and the theme!

Woman: Exactly! It's really not cool, just come here, write whatever you want...


Let's see the use of several tones.



The characters in the play reach a certain environment, a certain situation, some venue backgrounds, involving politics, courts, officialdom, drugs The trading place... soon melted into it, and was enveloped in it, as if the surrounding air was colored and smelled, and those who were in it had to breathe such air...

Female: Oh, I see, it's like you The net mentioned earlier, the world in the net, the director just wanted to use air and color to show the atmosphere...

yes! The same goes for several groups of characters in the play. They are deeply entangled in it, the temptation of money and human nature are entangled, the sense of moral guilt, and all kinds of emotions are like a big net, making them deeply trapped in it, the emotions are entangled and unable to extricate themselves, and finally they have to make a series of hurt friends, betrayal , crime and other crazy actions.


Looking at some details, including the action of the dialogue, there are actually metaphors. For

example, a man likes to gamble, and before he speaks, he just pulls out a note and is taken over... Generally speaking, it is a joke-like action, but here is a hint: As long as you're on drugs, you've already lost!


In addition, look at the role of some plots: the male police officer and his cousin are the same as the colleague. They both smoke. The dialogue at this time is not about discussing the quitting post. The key is that his cousin also died in the end...

Female: Oh, it seems Destiny is

right. At this time, comparing cigarettes to drugs indicates that drugs are as terrifying as demons and cannot be touched!


Drug addicts always show off their
helicopters, pay attention to the shooting methods. Look, this is not a simple landing, but a suffocating pressure and fear, a state of mind that seems to be falling or sinking. Looking at it from another angle, it is a catastrophe!

Female: Oh, this is a typical lens language, in fact, the so-called photography skills are here! No matter how cool you shoot, without thinking, it's still useless!

If you use some tricks, change different angles, integrate ideas, and design reasonable, you can get unexpected results. Art creation, it seems to be out of order, in fact, there are rules and regulations!



Woman: I would like to hear the wonderful interpretation of the ending of your meeting this time. Anyway, I don't see any metaphors.

At the end of the credits, watching baseball at the baseball stadium, the camera is in the stands, which is the view of the audience, right?

But pay attention, at this time, this perspective is not only aimed at the fans in the film, but also you and me in the theater, understand?

Woman: You mean, the director is prompting, we movie audiences are also in the audience?

That's right! The subtext at this point; for a drug case like this, the police and high-level officials should be an audience, not a eloquent speaker. In addition, it indicates that the wonderful battle will continue, and the anti-drug battle is far from the end!

Female: It's really exciting, just like the poison field, who goes on base and who goes off, who is in what position, how to move... The

key reminds us of the audience: we must clear our own position. Don't forget, we are just watching the play outside the auditorium, outside the iron net, drug producers, dealers, drug addicts, police, politicians... a big show that is more exciting than baseball!

No matter how fierce the battle is and how wonderful the performance is, we must remember;

we are always just a spectator, don't get carried away and join it...

So in this film, as long as you understand this net, these metaphors, especially the language of the shots at the end of the film, it is enough! Because you have already read through the director's thoughts, and you are very close to art!

Traffic quotes

  • General Ralph Landry: [20:13] You know, when Khruschev was forced out, he sat down and wrote two letters and gave them to his successor. He said - "When you get yourself into a situation you can't get out of, open the first letter, and you'll be safe. When you get yourself into another situation you can't get out of, open the second letter". Well, soon enough, this guy found himself into a tight place, so he opened the first letter. Which said - "Blame everything on me". So he blames the old man, it worked like a charm. He got himself into a second situation he couldn't get out of, he opened the second letter. It said - "Sit down, and write two letters".

    Robert Wakefield: [laughs] Yep.

  • Robert Wakefield: [1:58:53] I can't believe you brought my daughter to this place.

    Seth Abrahams: Woah. Why don't you just back the fuck up, man. "To this place"? What is that shit? Ok, right now, all over this great nation of ours, 'hundred thousand white people from the suburbs are cruisin' around downtown asking every black person they see "You got any drugs? You know where I can score some drugs?" *Think* about the effect that that has on the psyche of a black person, on their possibilities. I... God I guarantee you bring a hundred thousand black people into your neighborhood, into fuckin' Indian Hills, and they're asking every white person they see "You got any drugs? You know where I can score some drugs?", within a *day* everyone would be selling. Your friends. Their kids. Here's why: it's an unbeatable market force man. It's a three-hundred percent markup value. You can go out on the street and make five-hundred dollars in two hours, come back and do whatever you want to do with the rest of your day and, I'm sorry, you're telling me that... you're telling me that white people would still be going to law school?
