The Searcher is a kind of metatext, and there are many works related to him (Two Heroes, Naked Pursuit, To Liam Neeson's Rescue Series), and several are very political, such as the disappearance of Garvas, Spielberg's Spy The bridge, saving the soldiers and this minister go straight, and this film also has a small hole in the caper. Under the big confrontation (white Indian, Cold War, Vietnam War, coup d'état), a searcher stabs in like the tip of a needle, opens up and pierces the surface of the skin, peels the cocoon, and the less destructive (does not subvert the narrative and moral sense) will convulse. Muscles separate, exposing structural trauma and disease. Truly the best example of a narrative text with small characters telling a big story. In the end, Hackman's son died long ago and did not return home. The film stopped, and flashed back to the scene of the laughter of all beings during the training of the soldier's rescue operation, which is the same as the last of "Twelve Kings". It's a separate memorial for everyone. There are colonial texts like "Sando Paradise", and "The Searcher" all the way implies some kind of nationalistic anti-colonial tendencies, about to be rescued by "heterogeneous successors" who have been indoctrinated with non-national culture. While the physical rescue is easy, the spiritual return is never expressed
