Read many people's comments.
scolded a lot.

The multi-angle narration method seems to be difficult for any film to surpass since "Babel".
But it is different from Rashomon.

Many people call it a commercial hype film. Especially the ending is stupid.
I think the ending is very clean. The eight protagonists in the play are struggling almost all the time. Wandering on the brink of conscience. Twisting the steering wheel at the end is instinctive.
As the so-called "the beginning of man. The nature is good."

This is a very good Hollywood film in 2008.
The director put a lot of thought into it. And rose to the height of human nature.

As for the recurring sony.
Ah. There is a family on the sponsor at the end. Naturally use sony. Very normal.

Don't scold Hollywood instinctively when you see it.
Does scolding show that you are very skilled?

Hope to be objective. seriously. Look closely at this film.

Down the bucket list. Both protagonists love it. Not sure how.

    The repeated flashbacks from different perspectives create a sense of freshness and tension in watching the movie, but at the same time it also reflects the emptiness and singleness of the plot.

    Is this film intended to be shown to terrorist organizations~? The American-style heroism is too obvious~~ Why do I see this kind of retrospective narrative method these days~~ Is this kind of popular now~?
