I often have the urge to watch movies that don't need to use their brains and are "bang bang bang" all the way to the end.
I found a 2007 Brazilian film "Elite Troops". It was a chaotic war at the beginning, and it was very enjoyable to watch.
But when the voice over, a chaotic history of Rio police emerges.
In the slums, fish and dragons are mixed, drugs are rampant, the police charge various protection fees, and drug dealers do all kinds of evil.
The so-called justice has always been just a sugarcoat of interests.
This is a realistic line.
Scenes and scenes are like the chaos in Hong Kong films before ICAC was established.
A rotten persimmon, which was about to fall to the ground helplessly, exploded with a "pop".
But he didn't want to, a sharp blade ripped open its skin, down to the pulp and core.
SPOB, elite unit. Everything else can rot, only it is the last hold.
This is an ideal line.
But even so, ideals are always smoothed out by reality.
Nassimone, the man at the helm of SPOB, is going through a depression crisis.
The wife is pregnant, but the job has few successors, so she has to do it herself.
Almost driven mad, he could only comfort his wife and himself with the excuse of resting when he finds a successor.
There are two nice rookies that have surfaced.
Nei Tu, brave and bloody, was run on the garage in the police force.
Mathils, an aspiring black police officer, concealed his occupation and went to school to study law, trying to use forbearance to explore another way of reason. But many things are still unbearable. When discussing with my classmates whether the police will only collect money and abuse violence, I unconsciously want to defend.
Gradually, along with the increasingly corrupt police circle, they still have a trace of justice in their hearts, which is almost ruined.
With great difficulty, I seized an opportunity and fired the first shot of the black-and-white battle in the chaos.
Unexpectedly, the daring of the black forces was far beyond their imagination, and even if they revealed their identity as police officers, they would be surrounded and suppressed without mercy.
Who is the ruler of justice in this world?
I always thought that if I joined the police force, I would become the master, but this is not the case.
When they were desperately waiting to die, SPOB, who was dispatched by the police, appeared to fight against the drug dealers and rescued them.

The two who were reborn from Nirvana signed up to participate in the SPOB team entry assessment and began their purgatory journey to build the Ark of Salvation.
Nassimone used extremely humiliating and even tyrannical methods of physical and mental torture, just for them to survive in an extremely harsh environment without losing faith.
If justice wants to defeat evil, only violence can be overcome by violence, and ruthlessness can be used to fight ruthlessness. This is the only law of domination.
Mathils had a girlfriend at school, but her drug-related friend caused Neto's death.
This accelerated Mathils' growth.
He became accustomed to suffocating and tortured drug dealers by plastic bags.
At the end of the movie, Nassimone captures the head of the drug dealer and hands a shotgun to Mathils.
The chief drug dealer begged not to slap my face and ruined my funeral.

Perhaps, this film was not originally shot according to the number of "bang bang bang".
It shoots a truth, or a phenomenon.
Everyone lives for profit, and few consider the ultimate truth. And even for those few who know the truth, his life is no different from that of most people, he is stuck everywhere, even more divided, and it may explode at any moment.
Because of this, Nassimone, who has experienced a midlife crisis, is particularly empathetic.
Every time he wanted to take a break from work and couldn't get it, when he got home his wife was asleep, and when he woke up, he asked him when he would return.
He was speechless, and subconsciously responded: "Come soon!"
Returning to a job he couldn't get rid of at all, his mood became worse, even inspiring a near-perverted hatred of certain people and phenomena.
I just want to be a harmless father and husband, but why is there always evil.
In the end is this world, or my own sorrow? Can't answer, can only take medicine one by one.
Finally one day, he yelled at his wife: "Don't ask me! Shut up now! You want me to be like this every day, but do you know what I'm going through every day?"
After shouting, he regretted it, but regret was useless.
The gap between him and his wife is completely unresolved, it is just a microcosm of this era and society.
Also, the once immature Mathiers is also touching.
At that time, on the campus, what they thought was the right way to help the world.
But behind the recipe, there is actually a "grey" that is difficult to judge by right and wrong, interweaving black and white, exuding a big net. And the ultimate source that allows them to permeate is actually just a narrow, but blood-filled underdrain.
The most shocking thing is that after Mathils became a wolf, he said goodbye to his girlfriend he knew on campus, not for anything else, but because her friend was more or less infected with drugs and was implicated in drug dealers.
If you want to truly eradicate poison, you must cut everything with poison.
Sometimes, the farewell may not necessarily be class, but depends on what position you choose.
Although the "grey" net permeates almost everything, it does not represent everything. If you don't want to be caught, sink or drained by it, you can only choose to say goodbye.
No wonder Nassimone chose Mathils as his successor. Perhaps, he just saw his younger self.
The realization of human nature in "Popcorn" is not the director's scheming, it's just that those of us who watch the show are getting old.
If the guns, sins, and gloom of the movie are replaced by the triviality, helplessness and sadness in life, is it not the life we are experiencing?
Work, parenting, nothing is easy.
Just as He Guangzhi said at the talk show conference: A big sister from Beijing cried out loud at the entrance of the theater after watching the performance. People around her asked her why, and she explained that she laughed so happily last second, but when she thought of going back to Beijing for work tomorrow, her whole person collapsed. This made the talk show actor feel very sad, and it gave her so much happiness.
There is only face to face in life, trying to reconcile with myself and my family in the bitter smile and hard work.
In this way, when you pick up the popcorn again, you will feel that a trace of freedom that can be freely released. You have really come here.
