Disgusting us China again

That's what a movie is all about. It's a movie that has a lot of smoke, but it turns out that it's difficult to complete. It seems to be a blockbuster, but when I watched it, I couldn't find the highlight of the film. The only thing that is impressive is that it is mentioned at the end of the film that China is an important factor in the instability of the third world - selling arms to the third world.
Today’s Western movies no longer deliberately regard the Soviet Union as an imaginary enemy, but instead pay more and more attention to us, China, and frequently use us as the number one choice for the imaginary enemy. In other words, the content of current international blockbusters does not seem to keep pace with the times unless it is side by side with China. And this "side by side" is mostly an act of smearing and throwing feces. It is no secret that China sells arms to the third world. However, compared with those military predators in the West, our China is really nothing. Of course, I have no intention of defending China's actions, nor does it mean that I agree with it. What I feel is the reality that those Westerners don't disgust us in China, and they feel uncomfortable.

    The plot is very unreliable, can't stand scrutiny, and the characters are quite flat and masked, but the photography is beautiful, a modern architecture expo that travels around the world: from Berlin to Luxembourg to Milan to New York, and finally ends in Istanbul. The interlocking links in the middle are still full of tension. Just an entertainment movie, you can watch it.

    As long as the director goes to Hollywood, what he shoots is almost the same. The scene on the roof at the end of this film is almost 007, and the gun that resists the male protagonist is from Infernal Affairs.

The International quotes

  • [first lines]

    Thomas Schumer: Listen, I'm from the Bronx, so you need to keep it simple. Why is the bank buying all this missile-guidance stuff from Calvini? - I don't get it.

  • [last lines]

    Jonas Skarssen: [to Salinger, who is on the verge of shooting him] Wait, wait, wait. Executing me won't change anything. There will be another 100 bankers to take my place. Everything will continue. The only thing you'll succeed in doing is to satisfy your bloodlust. And you know it.

    Calvini's hitman: [after shooting down Skarssen, taking Salinger's gun, and finishing Skarssen off with it] Grazie.

    [first closing credits are shown over news articles that demonstrate the truth of Skarssen 's words: business of banking and arms deals continuing as usual]
