The film begins with a confrontation between the police and the bandits, while negotiator Bruce Willis is lying on the rooftop talking to the man who intended to kill his wife and kill his son on his mobile phone, trying to persuade him to surrender. If according to the normal pattern, Bruce Willis should be able to convince the criminal, and on the surface it feels like this to the audience, so that he can highlight his negotiating talent and pave the way for the subsequent plot, but the situation is exactly the opposite. He didn't succeed. During his conversation with the criminal, he showed his clipboard and told his colleagues that no one was going to die today under his control. But after he finished speaking, he wiped his sweat with a towel on his wet face to see that he was already very tired behind his full beard shape. He was not talking while lying down to show how confident and calm he was, but that he was really tired. Later, he made a few calls and found that the scene seemed to be out of control. There was also a dialogue between the child and him, which seemed to be a comparison for the smart child who appeared later. He started to get anxious. This negotiation has been going on for about 20 hours, and neither the police nor the bandits are impatient. I'm a little confused. Is he working so hard to save women and children, or to save the criminal, he can even rush over regardless of his life and death, but unfortunately everything fails, the gunshots, he slams the door into the house, and what he sees is Shocking corpses, and even more tragic are the bloody children. What a great irony, "No one will die today" has actually become a dead man, but everyone still does not doubt his negotiating ability, including the audience. Criminals are unreasonable after all. The next story is very fascinating. The rich family, a few troubled youths, the Willis family, etc., a group of unrelated people can be linked together naturally, and they have to admire Hollywood's storytelling ability. There is a saying that I am beginning to believe, junior movie fans are fans of actors, intermediate fans of directors, and senior fans of screenwriters. Although screenwriters are the most unknown, they are the most meaningful. What he wants to express is some common problems in the whole society, which is popular, and the director has added some of his own intentions to express his feelings, just through the film as a medium. To put it more generally, a screenwriter creates a script, like a recipe, the director is the chef, and the actors are the dishes. Different chefs make different dishes, and the recipes will not change. said. Take "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith" for example, the script is actually the screenwriter's dissertation in college. On the surface, it's just a pure Hollywood-style American blockbuster, but it has deep meaning inside. It just uses the action as a condiment, because For business sake. This is why many films that reflect sex and violence currently have a larger audience. In fact, sex and violence are also There are objectively unsolvable root causes of human beings. Sex is always intertwined with violence, and it seems to show that people are inherently evil at the beginning. Going back to the "Fire" film, I thought that the three youths were also violent for sex, although there was no sexual description or scenes. And these poor bastards have their eyes wide open when they see money. The world of children is often shown in European and American films. The children in the film "Fire" have also become a bright spot. They can be so smart and know so much. They should be inseparable from education. This is something we sigh. The ending is also a bit unexpected, and it seems that it is no longer a heroic ending. Bruce actually has to rely on the cooperation with the rich man to save his wife and daughter. This also seems to correspond to Bruce's inability to use his own abilities to rescue the mother and son at the beginning. This may also be a causal cycle, and Bruce spares no effort to save others, whether good or bad, and it pays off in the end.
