[[[Power pressure leads to blind obedience and ignorance]]]

This is a low-budget, low-cost, small-production film. To borrow the words of a bean friend, although the format is small, it has a long meaning.
But at the same time, from the plot point of view, it is a very, very, very depressing, heavy, resentful, brain-damaged movie.
The director and screenwriter never meant to underestimate the IQ of the masses to play with the fans. Believe it or not, it really happened.
Because the title has already said that it is based on real events, the ending also points out that about 70 similar incidents occur every year in 30 states in the United States. Although it is absurd and exaggerated, the director and screenwriter are still based on evidence, not random fabrications.
In China, where red and blue pencil games, letter of credit fraud, telephone fraud, pyramid schemes are rampant, mahjong and landlords are popular, and Zhao Benshan's abduction is popular in the Spring Festival Gala, such fraud or prank movies also have a good warning effect on the Chinese people ( Although many times Chinese people are smarter, have more methods, and are more capable of cheating), it can be seen that cheating is a part of Chinese people's life, and it is simply the fifth dish of a healthy life.
The film's narrative is compact, the structure is arranged, and the plot rhythm is not too picky in all aspects. Although there are no big stars, the performance of each character is natural and smooth, and the music is also in place at the key point (especially when Becky, the female pig's foot, wants to remove his shirt, and when Sandra's husband wants to check his body to find money, careful friends can look back and see, the music Helpless and sad!).
The plot is also simple. It is roughly a story of a criminal who pretends to be a police officer who wants to examine the clerk, authorize the manager and his colleagues to search and collect evidence, and lead colleagues to contribute to the fire without consciously leading to the girl being sexually assaulted.
The subject is very deep! It mainly reveals that the so-called kind and honest ordinary people blindly submit to the so-called power and law enforcement agencies, cannot identify the obvious loopholes of liars, dare not say NO, and blindly obey leads to the tragedy of ignorance.
After reading it, I feel very sad, but it is deeply profound!

Why is such an obvious scam, no one suspects it? According to the plot, roughly analyze where the main characters' hearts are and see where the problem lies.

(1) Sandra. The reason why fast food restaurant managers unconsciously act as accomplices in crime.
1. I was unemployed before, just got promoted, and I act cautiously (it can be inferred from the lawyer's words at the end of the film).
2. The door of the freezer was left open all night, and the 1340 pieces of food were rotten, and he dared not let his boss Gilmer know about it (the film delivery provider complained).
3. Some employees ask for leave, there are not enough staff, the schedule is unreasonable, and the employees are very emotional (the black female clerk complains).
4. The weekend is coming, quality inspectors come to visit unannounced, and the work pressure is high.
5. Serious bureaucracy. Believe that they have the responsibility and obligation to manage employees, and cooperate with COP to do a good job of leadership.
6. Love is overwhelmed, and you are facing a marriage proposal immediately. (Happy women are lacking in tendons)

(2) The reason why Becky didn't dare to resist.
1. Seriously need this job
2. The refrigerator door is not closed, I am afraid that the leader will mistakenly think that it was done by himself.
3. In the face of body searches and wallet searches, I don't want to complicate things, and I don't want to get into the game and be locked up for a day to leave a criminal record.
4. My brother's possession of drugs may be implicated, and I don't want to make things out of control.
5. A series of body searches, wallet searches, removal of underwear, apron, inspection of private parts, and punishment of naked abuse—under the pressure of law enforcement and leaders, I have become numb.

(3) Why did the criminal (fake Officer Daniels) succeed so often.
1. Very good psychological quality and criminal investigation skills, good at grasping everyone's psychological weaknesses and breaking them down.
2. Take advantage of judicial pressure and not give an opportunity to explain. No matter how Becky explained it, he always asked for cooperation.
3. Position control. Use the power of law enforcement and Sandra's boss to pressure Sandra to cooperate with COP work,
4. Intimidation. 5. Infinitely
exaggerate and complicate the case. Using the pretext of searching for hidden drugs at Becky's house, he created a tense atmosphere in exchange for cooperation.
6. Use Kevin to often cause trouble, create trouble, etc., and ask the manager Sandra to send Kevin to help take care of Becky.
7. Lure. Knowing Sandra's fiancé Yiwan's drinking problem, he used drunk driving to scare him; taking advantage of him being watched closely by his wife and having no time to party with friends, he used appropriate abuse and seduction rewards to force Yiwan to commit sexual abuse.
8. Business advantages and technical support. The criminal is a credit supervision clerk of a telemarketing company. He took advantage of his position to steal the police's phone number.

In fact, there are too many loopholes in this case. The biggest loopholes are as follows:
1. Why did the police fail to show up ? deal with? (It's too contradictory to look for money in such a hurry, and I can't come to get clothes!)
2. Even if Becky steals the money from the guest's wallet, how to steal it face to face? ? Where did the police get the evidence? ? (Only fast food restaurants have video evidence!)
3. What power does the police have to authorize a third party to search the suspect (even if the body is searched, it should be done by law enforcement agencies, of course, only female police officers are qualified to search the body according to the procedure. Be careful about this kind of thing)
4.Becky didn't steal money, but he didn't dare to insist. Say NO loudly, and if there is evidence, ask the police to come over and bring the evidence to clarify in person.
5. The police work remotely for a long time and give instructions by telephone. (Manager, you should call and confirm with your boss anyway)
6. If you do not return the confiscated clothes, you must store them elsewhere. (The brain-dead manager did not find a piece of clothes for the suspect after searching, and the suspect did not ask for it. He sat naked all the time, and he cooperated to this extent. It's amazing!! Human nature, human nature!! Very speechless!)
7. Force men to supervise naked women. (The brain-dead manager actually did the same, asked a male colleague to supervise it, and finally brought in his fiancé.)
8. On the premise that the female leader has already searched the body, forcing the male to search the important part of the woman, including unreasonable sexual punishment and reward. (Anyone with a little legal knowledge knows that this is not in line with the procedure, but Kevin is timid, although he didn't do it, he didn't tell the manager, is he so busy; Yivan is an old pervert, after some psychological After struggling, I actually enjoy it)
----------------
busy, busy, busy, everyone is busy, no one feels wrong. We are all good citizens, and we are all working with Uncle JC. Is there anything wrong?
When the maintenance uncle Harold (the only awake person) didn't do it and told the unreasonable things of the fake JC, everyone woke up like a dream---------(Why are everyone unwilling to say it, people People have a mouth on their necks!!!)

Of course, Skynet is sparse and unobtrusive. In the end, the culprit was sparse. Stealing someone else's phone to make a prepaid phone call, but I didn't expect to recharge in the middle, and it was revealed. The police finally caught the culprit by checking telephone companies and convenience stores.
The film revealed a detail that I didn't understand very well. The criminal hid the phone card in the drawer. His daughter came home from his grandfather. It can be roughly guessed that he is a single father. Sexual repression, seeking sexual stimulation? ? I don't quite understand, anyway, the United States has a lot of perverts with high IQ.
She thought that Becky would take revenge on Sandra after being hurt, but she didn't, and finally sought legal aid. The outcome of Sandra and the criminals is unknown, the screenwriter hastily thanked you for watching, it is irresistible! Is this just a matter of the vulnerable groups, and it is in line with China's national conditions!

A clear-headed mind, humanitarian spirit, and humane care are all covered in textbooks since the first grade, and everyone talks about it. At critical moments, there are a few people who can do it. Well, because people have matured and grown up, they know that there are some things that they dare not say and cannot say).

The harsh environment, the suppression of space, the pressure of the system, and the cruelty of power will make the ugliness and evil of human nature fully permeate and contagious! It will make ordinary disadvantaged groups lose the ability to think independently, and make the so-called good people who were kind and lovely become bloodthirsty, copying others' words, leaving only the body and cold blood, crawling blindly, working hard, and consciously or unconsciously becoming an accomplice of evil!
I think of the emperor's new clothes,
I think of the 1957 anti-rightist struggle,
I think of the death of Mrs. Xianglin,
I think a lot, a lot,
