Life is a constant march between being sick and taking medicine

This is the first time I want to seriously write a movie review, but I haven't written anything for a long time, and I stumbled. But still keep writing. Lots of spoilers included! ——————————————————————————————————————————————————— The story is very Simple, the male protagonist was sentenced to 10 years in prison for manslaughter in order to protect his newly pregnant wife, and he was released on parole for 8 years due to his good performance in serving the sentence. In order to catch up with his daughter's 8th birthday and hand over the gift to her, the male protagonist Cameron applied for a ride. I don't want this plane to carry the most dangerous criminals in America. Sure enough, the plane crashed, and the criminals hijacked the plane. The male protagonist was originally a commando soldier, and the character was justice. During this period, a rapist who had committed crimes repeatedly wanted to rape the female guard on the plane, but was stopped by the male protagonist; in order to save his black inmate "Baby Face", he gave up a chance to get off the plane... In order to escape the danger, the male protagonist, he Keep providing clues to the FBI. In the end, with the strong aura of the male protagonist and the cooperation of unity with the police is strength, the culprit was brought to justice.

Speaking of Garland, it's worth mentioning. Although his role is small, it is unforgettable. This role is played by Uncle Tooth, Buscemi. Uncle Tooth's gloomy and expressive face in the movie vividly interprets the temperament of this psychotic killer. His appearance was very shocking: wearing a Hannibal mask on his head, sitting in a special restraint chair, with a very metallic bgm, and a melon-eating crowd saying: What is this TMD? The wind and dust appeared faintly. It gave me the feeling that a terrifying monster with mysterious power appeared, and even the criminals who were full of viciousness took a breath. The atmosphere is perfect.

At Linna Airport, when the criminal's head "Deadly Virus" commanded his men to fight with the FBI, the camera cuts to Garland, who is playing with a little loli. On the plane before, Garland told the male protagonist Cameron that he once put a little girl's head on his head as a hat... Although he was interrupted by the angry male protagonist, he could already see how crazy he was. Murderer. So when he was with the little girl, he really had enough appetite, for fear of unexpected bloody scenes. However, if there is a bloody scene, then the portrayal of the characters in this paragraph will inevitably fall into a cliché. Fortunately, this was not the case. When the criminals fled the airport by plane, the little girl waved goodbye to Garland to the plane. Some friends may have doubts about this paragraph, wondering if Garland has changed his mind? Whether he corrects his evil and returns to the righteous, or whether he continues to be evil, I think the director conveys the complexity of human nature. Maybe at that moment, the little girl touched the soft side of his heart. As the saying goes: Everyone who hurts someone has been hurt before. This weak, sensitive and restrained murderer once said a line: "He had too much resentment in his heart. When he was a child, his mother held too much or not enough, he was not selected for the school team, and was violated by his uncle. Now he is full of anger, too relaxed but painful. His head will hurt, and happy times will hurt him." That's roughly what he meant.

At the end of the film, when the criminals die, they are caught. Only Garland appeared leisurely at the gaming table in the blocked city and won the bet. Silently confirms the interpretation of luck in the film, all you may lack is good luck. And his appearance also made the audience's heart that has just been put down hangs up again. Evil will always be there, like shadows in the sun.

In addition to this impressive bright color of Garland, the rendering of the entire movie scene is shocking. What impresses me the most is the dusty drive to Linna Airport by Inspector Ryken in his sports car: the soundtrack plays - yellow sand, grey-blue sky, tattered cowhide boots, and huge piles of gleaming piles. The mechanical wreckage brings people a sad and soul-stirring apocalyptic beauty.

The director also deliberately added a little humor to the tense atmosphere. For example, a plane entering the bustling downtown area; a couple with "good luck" on the verge of complaining that their newly washed car was covered with bird droppings was hit by a corpse with a very high expression that fell from the sky... The director used two completely different shooting techniques, including the difference in the soundtrack, character costumes, and film filters, to deliberately shoot a huge difference that was almost absurd. This contrast happened to achieve the effect of making people laugh.

In short, this is a typical heroism, and it has a happy ending. Nicolas Cage's long flowing hair, toned muscles, and a sense of justice, still arouse the hearts of girls who worship heroes and inspire the heroic feelings of men.

Although the plot is simple, there are some maddening and cool classic lines in it:

1. I only trust two people now, one is myself and the other is not you.

2. People who work hard every day for 50 years are suddenly forced to retire and then put in a nursing home hoping to die with dignity before they get sick. Isn't that crazy?

3. Murderers are mostly not out of desire, but real serial murderers are out of pleasure.

4. Nothing, I just admire your cage, it fits you right.

5. Little girl: Are you sick? Garland: Why do you ask that? Little girl: You look sick. Garland: I'm sick. Little girl: So have you taken medicine? Garland: There is no cure for my illness. Little girl: Shall we sing? Garland: Good.

The last sentence to end is the life insight I got from this movie: what is life? Life is a staggered progression between being sick and taking medicine.
