Liam Neeson is getting old.
Although he is still a tough guy in the movie, compared to his peak state, the eye-catching hero has a sense of twilight immediacy. Everyone will get old, no matter how fierce they are when they are young, when they face the downhill of life, they will still show fatigue after all. Of course, in the movie, the role played by Neeson was in line with him at the time, and when he got to that age, he played the role of that age, which was not against harmony.
However, Nissen can still be active on the big screen now. It is amazing that the elderly can have this physical strength. The generation of his contemporaries has begun to wither. This year, many old actors in Hong Kong have gone a lot, Wu Mengda and them. Like Jet Li's recent photos, he has completely changed. Where is there a trace of the past. The river of time is fair to everyone, and the past cannot be chased!

The story of the movie is not spoiled here, friends who want to watch it can watch the movie by themselves.
I have always believed that in order to see a movie made in another country, you still need a little common sense knowledge about that country and society, otherwise, if you simply watch the story, you will most likely not be able to understand it. In the end, it's just a matter of curiosity, or violence and sex as the only pleasures. Of course, there is no problem with spending time. However, since you want to spend your life like this, it seems that it may be more meaningful to get a deeper level of enjoyment.
1. The loss and psychological decline of ordinary Americans.
Neeson plays the role of a dutiful middle-class American. He participated in the Vietnam War as a Navy Special Forces team when he was young, and when he was older, he bought a ranch on the US-Mexico border for retirement. When his wife became seriously ill, he spent all the family savings. Someone from the bank came to the house to demand money and to auction off his ranch. And he wanted to find a temporary job, but he couldn't get it; he couldn't afford the price of the livestock, and when he was desperate, he could only go to the hotel to borrow wine to drown his sorrows. Seeing him like this, the hotel owner was worried about his accident, and called his friend to relieve him. So he asked a few questions. That's probably what every unhappy American is asking these days.
After working hard all my life, when I get old, my family is gone, and my loved ones are gone.
Why is this happening? My wife was sick and spent a lot of money. It is really expensive to see a doctor in the United States! People born in China with universal medical insurance may not understand how difficult and expensive it is for Americans to see a doctor. That's why Obama's health care reform! It's just that reform has a long way to go, at least it has not been successful so far.
Maybe the director also gave the answer in the play.
Brand new Buicks, bank clerks and Jewish faces.
Financial practitioners will sympathize with the farmers, but the money they want cannot be delayed for a day, otherwise they will go to the legal process. Who can the law protect? Probably just money. because
Those who truly sympathized with the farmers ended up leaving.
2. Immigration and drug trafficking in Mexico
The long U.S.-Mexico border has no end in sight. With such a vast area and sparsely populated, Americans really want to put an end to smuggling, and the cost and cost of it are unbearable. As a farmer near the border, Nissen is usually obliged to report the situation on the border to the Immigration Bureau, so he is so familiar with the police in the Immigration Bureau, a friend for many years!
Some time ago, I read an article written by Luke Wen's studio, which detailed the economic situation in Mexico. After the signing of the US-Mexico Free Trade Agreement, a large number of farmers in Mexico went bankrupt, and Mexico's industrial system was not established, causing the Mexican economy to deteriorate and unemployment to surge. Generations of Mexicans have had no jobs, women have made money by prostituting Americans in small border towns, and men have joined drug cartels. Drug trafficking became their only way out.
The reason for the story, why the Mexican woman and child fled, is not because the child's uncle stole the money from the drug cartel. Not only was he hanged, but also his family suffered. Kill chickens to scare monkeys! Women and children have no choice, but drug dealers really have a choice?
Knowing these, the lines in the movie can really understand! Otherwise they don't even know what they're talking about.
If a country has other paths for its citizens to survive and have a better life, who would be willing to lick blood every day and commit crimes with their lives? Nissen gave the drug dealer a choice, and the drug dealer chose to commit suicide. Even if he returned to Mexico, there was no way out, so what else could he do without committing suicide?
It seems to be free to choose, but can you really have your own choice?
If it were me, it would be best not to make a similar choice in this lifetime.
3. Finally
There is also the performance of the US police in the US-Mexico border state. Drug dealers can travel to and from the two countries at will. The police help drug dealers intercept Nissen, and the little boy will be deported to drug dealers. These are explained.
In a capitalist country, money or capital is the black hand behind it.
After reading this, do you think this is just a story of a powerful sharpshooter helping a young boy fight drug dealers and sending him back to Chicago?
On the one hand, it is difficult for ordinary people in the United States to live, and on the other hand, Mexicans can only sell drugs. At the end of the movie, it's the boy who goes to relatives in Chicago. Maybe he will have a bright future.
But when there are more and more Hispanics, what will happen to American politics and social ecology? The movie doesn't give an answer. The seemingly bright future seems to be unreliable.
