Biography of the Oppressor

After seeing the ending and knowing that this is a film based on a real person, I feel that the director is more loyal to the original work and is shooting, and does not dig too much.
Maybe because the characters in the original book are relatively bland, the film naturally formed from oppression to resistance. There is no more reflection in the character's heart, and the transformation into action also uses itself as a shield.
The most impressive is Guevara's biographical shooting. He saw the injustice of society and decided to join the revolution, but this is not necessarily the only choice. But the protagonist in the film has no choice, either kneeling to live or standing to die!
If there are more characters' inner portrayal, it may be more exciting!

    Under the apartheid system in South Africa, blacks were oppressed, but for the majority of whites, why were they not victims? Each has a different position, each is under its own master, but the absurd system brings absurd distortions. Reconciliation, not revenge, is the recipe for peace once and for all. PS Jealous women are really bad things!

    It is interesting to put together the translations of the film titles from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places: "Several translations in the Chinese world are very bad. The mainland's title is called "Rise of the Rod", which is equivalent to a denial of the full meaning of the film. The Taiwanese title is called "Terrorist Attack", and the two The name is very clear from left to right, different from Dai Tian. The Hong Kong one is called "Inflammation", and the meaning is too profound."
