The image of the police in this film is as follows: persevering, quick and decisive, can completely give up his life in order to carry out the task, face the gangsters without changing his face and heart, and sometimes he can act, acting like the real thing. . The tense atmosphere of the film also made the audience understand once again that the anti-drug police is an absolutely high-risk profession, rushing on the front line, and at any time fighting with a group of bigwigs. In the end, life for life, in exchange for final peace, glorious and tragic. From start to finish, there was no fear in their eyes, only hatred for drug dealers, and the determination to destroy them.
In the process of watching the movie, I kept thinking of a report on a character named "Poison Police". I have seen the deeds of this "drug policeman" in more than one media, but every report, as long as there are pictures, only looks like he is thinking through the window while wearing sunglasses. He had a big watch, a cigarette between his fingers, and a gold (genus) chain around his neck. His face was dark, and he didn't look as tall as the policeman in the movie. Instead, he felt like a so-called "big guy".
Similar to the plot in the movie, this drug police officer disguised himself as a drug dealer in order to "break into the enemy's interior", and passed all the way, but was "respected" when he was about to go deep into the core. "If you don't smoke, you don't have to talk about it." The drug police used this "suck" to gain the trust of the other party, and finally successfully solved the case, but she has since become a drug addict. He continued to work on the next case and the next case. With drug addiction, his identity was better protected, but his life was cast a shadow from then on. Colleagues knew, but couldn't help him. When he was a drug addict, only the informant on the road could come and hand him a package of goods. "At this time, it's no different from the prisoners I've caught." During this period, he tasted all the human feelings inside and outside the Tao, and finally was sold by his "informer" as a person who "buys drugs" identity, was arrested. He was expelled from the team, his wife and son were separated, and he was addicted to drugs. He was only accompanied by a third-class merit medal back then, and a pinhole in his body now. It's hard to get rid of drugs, but I can't go back to the team. "I know how to use handcuffs to catch the bad guys. Besides this, what else can I do?" In the eyes of the drug police, I can't see fear, because I can't see it at all, because he has been used to wearing sunglasses over the years. . The fear of being hidden, you never know how big it is. As for the life of a drug police officer, these reports are probably only a small tip.
I originally imagined that in the movie there would be a plot where Team Zhang would handle the case and fight drug addiction at the same time, suffering from both internal and external torture, and maybe in the end, he would have to accept the same torture of his own humanity as the drug policeman in reality. . Obviously not in the movie, the screenwriter is showing mercy. Team Zhang sacrificed himself in the frontal confrontation with criminals before he had time to commit drug addiction for the first time. He died vigorously, great enough, and a hero.
And in reality, what about that, or those, "poison police" who didn't die?
At the end of the film, the buddy sitting next to me said, "How can I rely on the mainland to allow this kind of gunfight to happen on the road?! I don't respect reality!"
Yes. Movies are not reality. Reality, it's a lot harder.
