is that the heroine came out of the police station and tried to ask the locals for help, but everyone avoided her like a plague god. This episode echoes the next episode. At the end of the film, the policeman is chasing the heroine behind, she ran to a local boat to ask for help, the local just turned on the light and wanted to ask what happened, and was shot in the face by the policeman. died. Think of this plot, and you can see why the locals avoided the heroine in the first place.
What the film actually suggests is that it's not a single police officer who is committing the crime, but the entire local government. The local people are being brutally oppressed by evil forces and are powerless to resist. In the last shot of the film, the heroine sees a police car coming towards her. What is her first reaction? Immediately picking up a stone from the side of the road to defend herself, she finally figured it out. As a result, two female soldiers in American military uniforms got off the car and told her "Okay, it's alright" in American words she was familiar with, and she felt relieved and collapsed immediately. ——Then, after she got into the car, the car turned around and drove back, which means that the car was not passing by, nor did it come to detect the case and catch the criminal, but to rescue the heroine. That was the rescue team sent by the US government to rescue the heroine!
This is American culture, and the film wants to tell us that no matter where in the world, being an American citizen will be protected by the American government sparing no effort. The attitude of the local government towards the local people is in stark contrast.
