Yet another extremely energy-dense film from Clint Eastwood.
The only flaw is that the ins and outs of the "fake Warter" were not explained clearly in the end, so I can only rely on my own imagination. Personal understanding of other places that have not been explained is based on the needs of the plot, and the vagueness is the real thing. Also attract more attention.
Captain is really a very pragmatic and capable "good police officer". Bringing the "fake Warter" to see Christin being discovered, his face did not change his face and his heart was not beating. After a lot of hard work, Christin believed that it was his own illusion, and it was polite to take a group photo; when the problem was discovered, he also explained Dissuasion failed to succeed by seconding an "authoritative doctor" to clear it up. There was really no other way to use a mental hospital. It was considered gentle to the people. Faced with the dire situation of being exposed, he first ordered his subordinates to shut down the news and meet the insider alone. The paper couldn't contain the fire, and he was forced to carry the banner of taking the blame and tried his best to defend in court. Although he failed to escape the people's scrutiny in the end, he exchanged his "sacrifice" for the public's support for the LAPD. regain confidence. If this series of operations is in the "our party", it should also be able to achieve prosperity (after all, there is no strong relationship behind it, and the upper limit of the promotion road may not be too high).
Chief and Mayor are respectively higher levels, and the overall situation is naturally several levels ahead of Captain. Chief also needs to be constantly involved in explaining to the public, while Mayor barely shows up at all. When the situation was already collapsing, the two clearly chose to "abandon the car and protect the coach". On the one hand, they accepted and admitted that Warter was killed in the "farm incident", and exchanged short pain for long pain. On the other hand, they asked Captain to do this. Take responsibility for the matter, although Chief was eventually demoted, and Mayor had no chance of running again. Although the two had no hope of making a comeback, they both managed to keep their "principal".
The murderer's mental journey was not explained in the film, and even before the execution, he was still capricious. He first informed himself that he had killed Warter by email, and he refused to say a word when confronting Christin. In short, everything about this murderous maniac is full of fog in our eyes, which is also very true. After all, "I am not him, I know what he thinks", and such ambiguity is also for Christin's follow-up performance. It's enough foreshadowing.
In fact, the positive priests and lawyers have nothing to say. After all, in the heart of the "old cowboy", there is always some justice and bottom line to rely on. So although the process is tortuous, and even some details make people question marks, the "rescue" is generally smooth, which may be what Eastwood hopes to see in his heart.
Although Christin's image in the play has different emotions, she is generally a woman who is sufficiently refined, capable and independent. Her consistent delicate red lips and dress also give her the opportunity to become one of the events in that era. the most central character. And Julie's performance is even more explosive. As for whether to "excessive force", it is a matter of opinion. When she first received the news that Captain had found her son, she was emotionally broken at work and could only say thank you; facing the "fake Warter", she turned over the plate with one hand and yelled at a "child", "You are not My son"; and when faced with authority, she first tried her best to forbear, and after losing control of her emotions, she was again subject to the strength of the relationship between the two parties, and she hoped to impress the police with good words. This is a little unreasonable, but in the face of "interrogation" by a psychiatrist, it is unfair to want to prove that she is not sick, but unable to refute the treatment she has encountered. In a dilemma, her trembling lips make The heart is distressed; in court, she has always maintained restraint. As for the reason, on the one hand, she respects the overall environment, on the other hand, she may be calmer after experiencing all kinds of things; The questioning stopped, and he almost wanted to kill the other party. It is not difficult to find out that the real pain point in Christin's heart lies in her son. When facing news related to her son, she often loses control of her emotions, and when it comes to other external sources, whether it is the police, the court, or whatever, she is often able to keep calm as much as possible. , and this has already been stated in her conversation with the pastor, "I have no intention of confronting the police or anything, I just hope to find my son." This may be a mother's most real emotion.
After the murderer was sentenced, Christin was about to accept the "fact" of her son's death. She walked out of her thoughts for her son. It can be seen from the fact that she ignored the invitation of her sister and accepted the male colleague who has been pursuing her. I hope she can go on peacefully, and I also believe that with her love for life and her own requirements, she will be able to reap a better life in the future; but when the news about her son came, she still jumped on it without hesitation. . In the final outcome, whether Warter is dead is unknown, and Christin happily chose the latter between "Calm" and "Hope". It can only be said that in the whole incident, although she played a "fighter" in the eyes of the public, she was always just a "mother" in her own heart.
Last but not least, there is no intention to make too much evaluation of the government and so on. One, different eras and different national conditions lead to no absolute correctness, only a more appropriate balance and compromise; two, when we talk about freedom, equality, and democracy, please never forget the two sides of the people, okay The good times are the hope of the country, and the bad times are floods and beasts. Only time and history can prove the way we go and what we do. Rather than rise to politics, it is better to return to people and nothing else.
