"Drug Network": Why hasn't society been destroyed?

Liu Qiang Ai Movie

"Drug Network" still belongs to the kind of movie that requires the audience to keep a close eye on the screen and not be distracted to fully understand it. The four story lines are intertwined and each one is enough to hold up a movie. After watching the whole movie, It's like listening to a one hundred and fifty-minute narrative symphony, hearty and unsatisfactory. It is indeed an Oscar-winning play. The film recording style shooting method now seems outdated. On the one hand, it is because the technique and content are very close to each other, and the art is self-consistent. On the other hand, because the times are not developing as fast as we thought, the film "records." The "reality" has not disappeared.

There is a puzzling phenomenon in human society-many people will do things that are not good for others and ultimately not good for themselves, such as drug trafficking. For drug traffickers, the more people who take drugs, the better, and the more relaxed the environment for drug abuse, the better, but there are so many that the society collapses and there are eggs under the nest. Which drug trafficker can survive alone? What can I buy with more money? Take 10,000 steps back, even if that extreme situation does not occur, you can spread drugs by yourself. If your children take drugs and you have no children, who will make so much money for? Therefore, only desperadoes who are extremely short-sighted, pathologically selfish, disregarding the life and death of others, and believe in the current drunk, will become drug dealers. The four major drug dealers in the film are all like this: the old general feels that the drug addict deserves to die, the Mexican drug dealer leader lets pregnant women test drugs, the American drug dealer leader does not care about the long-term happiness of his wife and children, and his wife does not think about his son. , And finally got along with her husband.

What's interesting is that the leader of the American small drug dealer, who is the leader of the big drug dealer, was dragged into the group. After being jailed, he talked to the US drug police about his three views: he thought that the conscientious drug policeman was simply nothing to look for and arrested him. One, there are later generations, the one who should smoke or the one who should be traffickers is still the trafficker, the drug police are just a tool for the drug cartels to fight with each other, this kind of life has no value. There is no similar theory about which ordinary people who help the abuser do not have a similar theory-anyway, bad people are there every year, anyway, some people deserve to be hurt, anyway, I am not too much, and I am not too small. Why do you want to fight the bad people? Point the good!

With the emergence of drug dealers and their accomplices, why has the drug industry failed to destroy human society so far? The film gives the answer in detail: First, there are the anti-drug police who are fighting drug dealers on the front lines. Among them, there are people like Monteel who have been working hard and hard, and there are also Harvid who have made the right choice after experiencing great enlightenment. They are all defending. The heroes and warriors of our bright future; followed by social workers, volunteers, churches and other ordinary people who have devoted themselves to this war. They promote the dangers of drugs and help drug addicts to get rid of them. They are the indispensable backbone for winning this war; and finally; It is the family of drug addicts represented by Robert, who will not let the astray relatives fall into the abyss and ensure the harmony and stability of the family, the smallest cell in society.

I think the character of Robert is the biggest highlight of the film. He is a justice and has a high social status. With his determination to fight drugs, he could have become the commander of the US anti-drug forces. However, because his daughter was deeply addicted to drugs, he resolutely went away and accompanies her daughter to rehab with peace of mind. Isn't this selfish decision to disregard everyone's small family? Of course not. There are other candidates for the commander, but his daughter is the only father, and he can't even save his own daughter. Who can believe that he can save other people's children? The most important thing is that his behavior inspires us not to rely solely on external forces such as the state and society. They cannot solve all problems related to drugs, especially the personal problems of the "last mile", as long as everyone solves the people around them well. All the drug problems will naturally be solved.

Art refers to the general by describing the special. On the surface, this film talks about the drug problem in the United States, but it actually talks about the mystery of the tenacious existence and continuous development of human society. Not only the drug problem, food safety, environmental pollution, moral ethics and other factors that affect or even determine the survival of society, in fact, every member of society is closely related to each other. No matter what job or ability each person is engaged in, it can only be from the bit by bit. Only when we start to do our own thing well can we ensure the long-term development of the entire human society.

The ancients said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Who is the outsider?

    The pursuit of re-enactment of reality, the restrained narrative and scattered points cut into it very well. It can be said that the protagonists of each paragraph have no choice but to stay in the event and cannot be themselves, and there are also self-initiatives that can be solved as soon as they exert their own initiative. quite possible. Although the film is over, it points out that some indisputable facts and the importance of the struggle make the overall structure really think beyond a film, and of course there is an isomorphic cognition around the unified hard core motivational editing, with independent grammar and two filters. It can be easily and deeply achieved, which is amazing.

    The three-line narrative is quite calm, the color use of the Mexican part is very cool, the lines also have a lot of brilliant parts, the ending feels a bit rushed, and the actors are all in place

    Montel Gordon: Well, you know, in Mexico, law enforcement is an entrepreneurial activity. Not so much in the states, anyway, we, uh... We hire drivers with nothing and throw a lot of product at the problem. Some gets stopped, enough gets through. It's not difficult. Look, boys, this has worked for years, okay. It's going to continue to work for years.
