There is war every day, as if there is no war.

lights on our park so that the children can play baseball at night and they will not go to drug trafficking. "Drug Network."
The film tells the story of this period of time coldly. During this period of time, many characters have reached a strange position. The DEA chief's daughter ran away from home because of drug abuse, and he had to go to the drug den to find her. And the DEA director of a country can do nothing when facing these small drug dealers, and even can only beg for mercy. The DEA director's daughter is addicted to drugs, and she does not hesitate to steal property from the seller, but also sells herself for drug money. DEA agents caught a small drug lord and prepared to use him as a taint witness to sue another big drug lord. But in the end, after paying the price of sacrificing an agent, the tainted witness was assassinated by the wife of the big drug lord, and the accusation failed. The wife of the big drug lord was originally an ordinary rich woman. She didn't know what business her husband was doing. However, after learning that her husband was arrested for drug trafficking, she was skilled in drug trafficking for the sake of her family and her high-quality life. Lulu eventually bought another drug lord to let him kill the tainted witness. In Mexico, two policemen, Manoro and Javier, who were not particularly good but were relatively diligent in that corrupt environment, were recruited under the new Mexico general who specializes in anti-narcotics. The two of them initially Very hard to beat one of Mexico's two major drug cartels. But later it was discovered that the general did not intend to eradicate the drug lords at all. He was just teaming up with one of the drug cartels to eradicate his opponent and dominate the Mexican drug market. Manolo decided to tell the United States about the news, and Havier betrayed Manolo to the general. Manolo was subsequently executed by the general. Harvey's conscience found that Manoro's unfulfilled wish was fulfilled. The general was executed, the drug cartel he suppressed was reborn, and it was they who helped the big drug lord’s wife get rid of the tainted witnesses. There is a connection in the dark, and those who try their best may never find out. They are helping their enemies, and they will never get the meaning of life.
The film has always been very calmly tuned, just recording an entire event. But in terms of color, the film is divided into two parts. In the United States, the color is real and the reality is very cold. In Mexico, colors are surreal, and reality has reached a surreal state. In this dreamlike state, no matter whether it is a dream or a wake-up, you can't get rid of this absurd but true reality. People are really desperate, and anti-drugs have become a mess, a mess that will never be cleared out. Drugs, high profits, super pleasure, curiosity, self-confidence, emptiness and loneliness, earning a living, abetting, inheriting family business, desire to get rich, etc., these are the reasons for the rampant drugs. How to deal with it? Opposing drugs is not just as simple as "fighting a people's war", because you want to fight a war with the people. The drug-related person may be by your side, your wealth may come from drugs, your subconscious has a thirst for pleasure, you are still young, you still have the opportunity to indulge and make mistakes, you think drugs are not wrong, you think the fault lies in society , You have no need for life, you need inspiration, you need experience, you have to feed your parents, you have no desires when you are middle-aged, and it doesn’t matter when you are old, you want to spend when you have money, but you don’t have money when you have no money Don't spend, your ideals are shattered, you need ideals, you don't know anything. Terrible? Are drugs really scary? No, the terrible thing is you, you regard yourself as your enemy. At the very hypocritical end of the film, the director of DEA said, "To declare war on drugs is to declare war on many family members. How can you declare war on your relatives?" This sentence is too hypocritical and does not match the style of the film. There are also many people in the film suddenly. Inexplicably speaking extremely hypocritical words in an inexplicable environment, making the style somewhat abrupt, but these hypocritical words make people feel heartache. Because the crime of drugs cannot be carried out by extremely evil people, you may be carrying it out, and you may be able to encourage him to carry it out.
Drugs are always a social problem, an economic problem, and a human nature problem. You can look at this film with "Requiem for Dreams". Maybe the story of the film takes place in the United States, where we are not so serious. But can't we smell the danger? We are right next to a drug-producing area, we are engaged in ASEAN, will we one day be able to deliver drugs to our door? Drugs have already begun and will always accompany economic development. Is it economic fault? Or is it human fault? The materialization of desire is still desire. What you restrain is not sin, but desire. Forget it, there is a lot of discussion about human nature, because we in China have not yet developed to the point where we can discuss human nature. We can only discuss economic development and legal system construction.
The end of the film is still hypocritical, but it is a little warm. This kind of warmth is a failure for this film, but it is a kind of hope for the viewer. The DEA director’s daughter began to quit drug freely. The DEA director made a very desperate but thought-provoking voice to the society. The DEA agents began to regroup to launch an offensive against the big drug lord, and the most touching thing was Harvey. The scene that Ye saw, the park started to have lights, the children were playing there at night, and many adults were watching and cheering. Everything had nothing to do with drugs.
Opposing drugs of course requires the power of the government. But in order to be more effective, you should accompany your mother more, accompany your father more, accompany your grandpa, grandma, grandpa and grandma, take your younger brother for a walk, plan to do some works with your classmates, don’t just think about your grades, and be healthy. An otaku may simply not be an otaku, play ball, come to Chengdu to eat some delicious food, go out to eat a bowl of noodles, ask friends to chat with you when eating noodles, don't dislike others, they are all saying no to drugs. You don't need to pretend to stretch out your big hand to block, go and watch football, get up early every day to watch the playoffs.
We are not fighting a war, and I don't know what we are doing. In short, we are not fighting a war.
