Judging from the sequence of the movie, the male protagonist rescued the injured little boy and then met his lovely neighbors. The male protagonist is a university professor, telling about American terrorism, why it is anti-government, people's ambiguous attitudes... His wife was killed in the line of duty (and later in the film he attributed it to an intelligence error, his wife should not have died in the line of duty). Then the male protagonist's family and the lovely neighbor's family became more and more hot, almost becoming a family. He even talked about his dead wife and was in pain, until the male protagonist found out that the second neighbor man had lied, and evolved with his professional sensitivity. It got out of hand, as if a fish in a fish tank found a looming earthworm in front of him, because he realized that the "cute" neighbor's family might be "hateful", and then the male protagonist told the case of his wife in the story episode. Seeing this At this point, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. Obviously, the male protagonist's emotional entanglement with his dead wife, the emotional barriers between the current ones, and the death of his wife have become an important clue and influence in the whole film. Then the male protagonist finally clashed with the female protagonist because of the neighbor's affairs (both sides have their own positions), just happened to be seen by the male second to see the two separated at the door, and then the male second had the courage to find the male protagonist "showdown", seeing this plot Really exciting (want to give 4 stars, it's clear if the second male is cute or hateful). Then the male protagonist's girlfriend died (I suddenly felt that this film could only have 2 stars, she had already predicted before her death, the male protagonist could not get out of the pain of losing his wife, and he could not give his girlfriend complete love. Losing again is undoubtedly for the male protagonist It was a heavy blow. But she ran halfway to the phone booth to make a phone call. What the hell is that old-fashioned? Since she is looking for the male lead, she has to make a phone appointment first? Or did she expect a car accident?) Going to talk to Dean's father feels like a lot of bullshit. To be honest, the male lead was really relieved when he was beaten by the second male lead. I don't even understand why the second male lead was knocked to the ground (in hindsight, the second male did it on purpose). In the end, is the male protagonist's son dead, or the male protagonist? There are hints in many places. It is acceptable to see the death of the second man in the government parking lot, but it is a bit far-fetched that a bomb as small as this size can blow up the entire government building... (It should be appropriate to see here. 3 stars) But the progress bar has a hidden mystery. The last reports and the "testimony" of the female classmate shocked me a bit, so this movie is at least 4 stars! If you look carefully, you can see that she appeared shortly after the film started, in the male protagonist's class. It is reflecting the few truths of the second male, he is just a messenger, and there are thousands of people like them. On the surface, the male protagonist is a professor of American terrorism, and he also became friends with FBI agent Carver because of his wife's relationship. It seems that some resources are logical for him to investigate these matters. Zhang, he has always been suspicious of the second male, but he has never understood that he is a man in front of the second male, because the male lead is theoretical and experimental, while the second male is experienced. On the one hand, the second male is in a huge system. , How powerful is this organization? This female classmate is an example. A terrorist is studying at school. What is he studying? (You didn't realize they were studying you when you were researching people); then these friends at family gatherings (the second man moved after his success, think about why a man who frequently moves his address has so many friends who come and come, Why can I receive letters that I haven't contacted for a long time?); communication line maintenance personnel, guardians of the children's exploration team, and courier delivery personnel; this organization is huge and meticulous! Thinking back to the movie again, how did the male protagonist get to know the lovely neighbor? How did the child at the beginning of the movie meet the male protagonist? (The lovely couple who can flash behind people at any time, why didn't they show up when their beloved son was seriously injured? Why didn't the child's friends and his sisters go to their parents?) Why did the letter go to the male protagonist for the first time and the male Second, I want to emphasize the university and my personal information. I know it’s fake, but I want to tell it. I feel that the lie is a bit deliberate and unintentional; ? (You think you are excited when you discover other people's lies and secrets, but how can you not think that others are leaving footprints and waiting for you to respond, so how can there be earthworms in the water) There are many places that make me personally think that the whole story is to lead The male lead takes the bait, yes, the second male lead is in charge of the postman, and the male lead acts as the car. A similar method is the second male lead’s usual trick, and finally they are framed and shirk. Maybe the clean and checkable records after impersonating are like this. . Why do you say it's inevitable, can't the male protagonist's son be a postman? Personally, I think his son is also one of the options, plan B, but is it credible that the second male can guarantee that the male protagonist's son will come back alive? I don't think it's credible. If he could let the hero or his son go, he wouldn't kill the hero's girlfriend directly. If there was no negotiating value, he would tear up the vote. He made up the old father's lie about the security and kidnapped the hero's son later. Its role is just a tactic to slow down the army. People who lie everywhere and carefully design others are not credible, and they will be silenced after the goal is achieved. Therefore, the male protagonist chooses not to believe that he is right. Otherwise, it is very likely that his son will die. On the other hand, it is frustrating that the death of the girlfriend is inseparable from the male protagonist (the girlfriend has clearly told him not to invade other people's privacy and interfere in other people's affairs, but the male protagonist doesn't listen to it, instead he keeps entangled with the neighbors and the deceased wife. Hurt the heart of a kind girlfriend, the last quarrel made her unbearable, she did not want to To doubt others or say that they don't want to worry about other people's affairs, but was affected by the male protagonist's quarrel. In the parking lot, I saw that the neighbor did not come up to say hello as naturally as before, but chose to hesitate. In fact, even if she said hello at that time, the neighbor The reason for the loss is estimated to use an excuse to perfunctory her, or simply walk away because it has nothing to do with herself, so as not to be entangled in the truth and be detected by the enemy and designed to die immediately); What? This question can be discussed, but since the male protagonist believes that the gunman is defending his own home, he should think that what he is doing is also touching other people's cheese. To find out the truth, he must accept unpredictable risks. This risk is that male The safety of the people around the Lord, for the FBI operation, there is also the risk of acting impulsively without waiting for reinforcements. It's not that the second male can't educate. His children listen to their father's words, insist on not letting strangers enter the house, call their parents when they feel strange, and don't just follow others into other people's cars. The second male can chat with the male protagonist's girlfriend, and he can get along well with the male protagonist's son. At the beginning, he can also chat with the male protagonist. Although there are lies, on the surface, the second male knows how to communicate with others, while the male protagonist has At that time, he ignored the thoughts of the people around him, whether it was his girlfriend's psychology or the psychology of the male protagonist's son. The second male is good at observing and listening. The basic information and even the emotions of the male protagonist's family are clearly collected by him. Those deliberate and unintentional lie designs and the emotional weaknesses of the male protagonist's family are just right. This is why the male protagonist overwhelms the male protagonist in terms of IQ and emotional intelligence. Although the male protagonist has his own advantages, he can only be passive all the time. Can you imagine who is the second male lead? The second male is Andy, the man who tricked the warden and escaped! How can you take it lightly! The male protagonist's self-confidence and impulsive behavior is "like" Banmen's axe. When strangers enter the house, they will call their parents when they notice something strange, and don’t just walk into someone else’s car with them.

When I write this, I suddenly think that there are often people like this in life: they insist on their own while ignoring the feelings of others, have their own ideas in their hearts and often act impulsively. In this state, they are often reckless and get twice the result with half the effort. After watching this movie Instead of being irritable, you must be self-aware, caring and trusting others, especially your close relatives; you must be meticulous and fair, and you must not be blind.

The last rant, why only the male protagonist has a mobile phone in the square character... The FBI investigation sensitivity is not as good as the male protagonist, but at the critical moment, there is no mobile phone and can only call the landline... The male protagonist's girlfriend also calls and calls at the critical moment. , Why does the male protagonist have to call a landline if he has a mobile phone! ! ...
