It took more than two hours to finish watching this film today. According to my past habits, I would definitely not click the name of such a tacky movie, but I caught a glimpse of a familiar face in the movie poster: John Travolta, who made a deep impression on me in ", I love to see his slightly hippy face, so I clicked to play.
After 140 minutes, this film did not disappoint me. I don’t know much about movies. I don’t look at the director or the screenwriter. I don’t know anyone except for a few well-known big-name actors. Simply speaking, it’s a good movie.
Savages, barbarians. The beginning of the chapter presented us with a 3P story. In the first few minutes, I watched it while smiling bitterly, but as the plot laid the groundwork, I felt that their triangular relationship was really natural and unbreakable, which made me think that maybe this kind of "deformity" The relationship is normal. The film slowly shows us a big drug trafficking organization, the Baha gang, with blood and violence inserted into it. I will not repeat the specific plot.
At first I thought the name savages was tacky, but after reading it, I felt that it must be savages. The film shows the true barbarity under the veil of a pseudo-civilized world. In this world, there are no civilized people, and everyone who shows his face can be well-deserved as a "barbarian." What a good irony. Ben, Cheng, and Ou are not good people, they sell marijuana, they have a malformed relationship; Lado is not a good person, killing people without blinking, cruel and ruthless, even to her own wife; Irina is not a good person, she inherited her husband’s business and became a big drug lord. Quite iron-blooded demeanor; Dennis is not a good person, as a policeman, black and white take everything.
But they are all flesh and blood, and they are all born in this society. Ben, Cheng, and Ou have the inexhaustible emotions between Ben, Cheng and Ou. Ben is doing charity in the backward areas in his free time. Cheng is an iron-blooded soldier who can help his friends when he returns from the battlefield. Rado is probably the most brutal in the film, but so is he. Love, love family, love children, want to teach his son and daughter well. In the film, he shows several times that he wants the whole family to have a good reunion dinner and fulfill the responsibilities of a father, but there is no suitable opportunity; Irina loves her Her husband loves her children. For them, she has no choice but to play the role of a strong woman. In front of her daughter, she is a doting mother, and in front of Ou is a woman who loves to talk about the short-term parents; Dennis treats his wife. There is no doubt about deep love, even if his wife is dying ill, it hasn't diminished in the slightest, especially when he held his wife's hand in the ward and said the main point: "Remember the day I graduated? I will never forget when I was. When I went to the police, you looked at my eyes with pride. But when I was a police officer, no one told you how difficult and dangerous this business is. The funny thing is that they still want you to get out of the silt and not get infected, and hope you are innocent. . But how can there be innocence? I have to bribe the boss, and he has to get benefits. If you want to see the real bad guys, just turn on the TV. The so-called heroes are all hypocrites, the financial world, the government, and those bastards are greedy for money. Going more than me. If they do my work, live my life, and take my salary, they will definitely commit suicide. I can’t stop, I can’t quit, there is no left, no right, everyone is in the circle Let’s just eat. I haven’t seen a completely innocent person for many years, except for you that day.” In reality, everyone has weaknesses. This is where love lies. Because of these, all their barbarism seems to be understandable and reasonable.
This world is a savage world. If you are not savage, there is only one ending: die. There is a good person in the film, Esteban, a young man who just entered Taoism, compassionate and gentle, began to shoot and kill the lawyer's wife under the force of Rado, but he did not become cold-blooded. Although he can only be regarded as a soy saucer and has no success or failure, he was killed by Lado when he transferred to Europe because "you are not good, and the sympathy is too heavy." In a savage world, if you want to be a civilized person, the end is death.
At the end of the film, I clicked again to define savage: Cruel,crippled.Regressed back to a primal state of being. Although we have not degraded to the original state of existence, the original law of survival still applies to us in other forms, and there is a sentence that tells us that we are all "incomplete"-no one is perfect. Living in this world, no one can stay out of it. Can you find your own shadow in the film?
Savages? Yes, we are.
