The first is the narrative sequence. You can say that it is a combination of flashbacks and interludes, but it is actually more like a miscellaneous narrative, and if there is no subversion in the last ten or twenty minutes, there is no doubt that the audience will think it is a sequence. Some people may think that this kind of narrative technique of shifting the universe is very clever, but it is too deliberate. When the audience is watching, it seems that someone is saying to themselves, "Haha, you have been deceived", and I feel very uncomfortable. All have the urge to curse. The director's intentions are obvious, but to me, it is not shocking, nor does it feel suspenseful and fascinating, and some are just accidents and the anger of being played. In terms of the film as a whole, I don't see any benefit in such a disorganized structure, if at all, it's a distraction that distracts the audience from the drowsy plot for a while. It came plain and thin.
Followed by questions and loopholes about the plot. For example, the bald-headed sister is very strange, and the niece has only been missing for six days to tell her brother, which is puzzling.
There are also key phone records. As a result, CIA can definitely find out whether the call is genuine and how long the call lasts. If the call is only made but not answered, or the call time is short and only two or three sentences can be said, it must be a misdialed call, and there is no doubt about the engineer. reason. Second, since the CIA was sure that it was the terrorist's phone number, why didn't they find out who the terrorists were calling during that period, and thoroughly investigate their relationship with the terrorists, instead of just staring at the engineer alone. Another possibility is that it is found that a considerable number of those people are relatives of engineers, which can indicate that the phone number of the terrorists has changed hands to the hands of the relatives of engineers before the misunderstanding. Of course, the CIA can also say that terrorists are cunning and cunning, and they deliberately make phone records so that people do not suspect them, or they simply decide that the entire engineer's family has contact with terrorists.
If you want to add guilt, there is no excuse for it. The logical loophole does not prove anything. The CIA adheres to the principle of overcorrecting that it would rather kill someone by mistake, and the special extradition policy is an extreme policy based on this. It is not only the importance and sensitivity of the United States to national security, but also the contradiction between safeguarding national security and safeguarding human rights. Cut off all information between the suspect and the outside world, torture the suspect both mentally and physically, trample the suspect's dignity, and extort confessions through brutal torture. Those with limited IQ but know how to play tricks are best at these things. For them, judging information Authenticity and truth-seeking are not part of the responsibility, but it is such a group of people who are highly regarded as "professional" and "experienced" and respected. It is as if the United States, which has always believed in humanitarianism, always points fingers at the internal affairs of other countries with a superior attitude. Everything is about politics, not human rights. Therefore, it is meaningless to talk about rational logic and rigorous analysis.
Also, on the question that someone raised about the explosion of the plaza, here's my take on it. There were two bullets in total. There is no doubt about this. The second shot hit the boy and caused an explosion. The first shot to kill the waiter was missed, but whether the target was a boy or a bald head was not explained in the movie. Personally, I think it is more likely to be a bald head. After all, the bald head is the primary target of the boy. If there is no girl, the next step for the boy is to detonate the bomb as close to the bald head as possible. From the point of view of the leader of the organization, letting the boy kill the bald head in the square itself is a one-shot plan to eliminate dissidents and create terrorist incidents, but once the boy hesitates to leave, the plan will fail. Immediately after being hit, it exploded, so it must be the first to kill the bald head.
Throughout the whole film, the most remarkable thing is the actors. The actor who plays the engineer brings out the fear and pain of the great changes and suffering to the fullest. The roles of Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep are not big breakthroughs, but their temperament is very suitable for the role. Because of his personality and identity, he was able to handle it with ease. The performance of the tragic mandarin ducks was unexpectedly excellent. The eye contact in the scene in the square was impressive. It seems that only Jake Gyllenhaal is a little dull, and the inner drama is not portrayed enough. .
