worthy of your conscience

I just finished watching it in Central 6. During the screening, I cut off a more critical shootout. It was very unpleasant to watch.

The plot of the first half has been seen frequently in Chinese and foreign movies. The police want to kill the hostages, and the police protect the hostages. The film outside this book ended in this kind of struggle. I didn’t expect a turning point at the end, and the people who protected the hostages should have also Belongs to the camp of murdering hostages. This raises the central idea of ​​the film to the torture of human nature.

More or less moved by the role played by old Bruce. The most precious thing in life is being able to admit one's own mistakes, but the difficulty of this is inversely proportional to age. When we were young, we could have the courage to admit our mistakes, but when we grew up, we "cherished" our own face more and more and worried about gains and losses, but were unwilling or unable to admit mistakes. Since then, we have learned to lie, we use one lie after another to cover up the previous lies, and use one mistake after another to make up for the previous mistakes. The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore, but sometimes, you can't help yourself when you want to turn back.

After reading the previous comments, I realized that this movie has a double ending. When I find time, I'll have to look at both endings in full.
