Surviving as a marginalized person has been integrated into life. This may be a direct connection with a sad fate. But who can deny that the ambiguity of identity does not affect the necessity of survival. Marginal people, outside the mainstream, are not alternative. The same breadwinner, self-sustainment, but no identity and recognition.
There is a vague level between rights and enforcement. A person is neither the owner of rights nor the identity of social status, nor is it a mere mortal. What is he? Mr. Clayton is neither the controller of capital nor an exclusive professional. He mingled with them and did things that none of these people could do.
From a small workshop to a large consortium, there is no such person. And for such a person, whether the value of existence is insignificant does not need to be verified, but the mood of joining the world is very subtle. Go on a road and never return. Follow the rules of the game and the role is among them. In this way, we are not far from the standard of superior life, and we never mention the sense of accomplishment of self-realization.
This "no mention" is the saddest thing. It is mixed in high-end affairs in the calm, sometimes heroic, sometimes mysterious, sometimes jealous, and sometimes beautiful. However, there was not a day of peace of mind, the deep hole was concealed by the perfection of the appearance, and the perfection of the appearance encouraged the soul to avoid the sense of existence that the self should have.
Time can make everything mature, whether the beginning of chaos and the end of abandonment will be extremely peaceful. Over and over again, it has achieved the highest level of cleaners used by standard marginalists, rights holders and genuine products. Ability is undoubted, experience is undoubted, contacts are undoubted, looks pure and peaceful, looks like an elite warrior. In fact, it is just a replaceable bearing in the system.
Mr. Clayton's investment went bankrupt, and he looked innocent. In the final analysis, he was trying to realize the self that the system could not give. His job as a cleaner is very concealed, lingering between high-level managers and customers, and dangerously dispelling unspoken rules. Is it his fault? Was it his end as a tool? Some people will become tools, and some will become users.
Who are the users are those who have obtained approval. It is not the key who is agreeing. The key is what kind of person is going up in the context. "Total Strike Back" shows a rather cryptic comparison between the new power holder and the perennial cleaner. The obvious difference between the former and the latter is the gap in ability.
It can be seen that there is a huge difference between being used and being trusted. It can also be seen that this is not important at all. The ugly thing is that the cognition of Mr. Clayton has long been solidified and inclined. Everyone is used to it, everyone knows it, and everyone is self-evident, including himself. Without this movie, there is no such absurd but wonderful contrast, because it is so real.
Hollywood movies don't like profoundness, so "Total Strike Back" only throws out this tone, which is still the thrilling climax of the golden narrative. The brilliance is that this story is set in a purely realistic environment, and it seems like a real thing. A full-scale Jedi counterattack by a person abandoned by the system, a grassroots hero's great deeds, took the opportunity to fully insinuate social reality.
George Clooney was originally not a powerful actor. Commented that this was his best performance, and privately thought that he was quite suitable for this role. The capital for idols to become power lies in accumulation, which seems to be a late bloomer. The value of his experience lies in abundance, growing in worship and superficiality.
For any popular male star, their personalized rich expressions are not suitable for the style of the film. This semi-documentary director style is really suitable for Clooney's mature and handsome stubbornness. Without this introverted heroic spirit and unsmiling, the quality of the film will fall into a decline. Coupled with rich experience and experience, Clooney is really suitable for Mr. Clayton.
The director who was born as a screenwriter has contributed a super script, neat and tidy, and also very professional. The cold-color images further highlight the sense of crisis strengthened by the film's narrative. The director made this cliché Hollywood story more compact and full of tension, which is a model of steady narrative. For an old routine story, "Total Counterattack" is amazing.
The struggle between conscience and capital is a real issue, and the murder and unspoken rules are even more eye-catching. In fact, the fate of Mr. Clayton's marginal man may be more pertinent to the hearts of the people. This contrast between the sacrifice of a small person and the loyalty of this person for a lifetime, a compelling conscience discovery and the conspiracy and cunning in this world are the essence of the movie.
