2. Woman 2: When Ford came to the door, Pitt's would-be girlfriend first ran away without thinking when she saw Pete, and then when Ford asked a question, he directly told them that he was here. . . Basically bringing the police in all the way. Eventually the Fords were gone and ran up to tell them Pete's address. . . collapse! When Ford said "even the FBI is investigating", he was so frightened that he couldn't turn his head. . . I don't even think that if Pete is caught by Ford, a policeman can save Pete's life! More importantly, I am also an informant of the Republican Army, or at least a sympathizer of the Republican Army. He actually revealed the location of the missile and a Republican Army cadre.
3. Pitt: I died laughing when I heard Pitt's British accent. . . Then, the place where you live is so easy to be known by the arms dealer, why is it still a professional terrorist? To buy missiles, why do you have to inspect the goods? I'll go see a green leather case, okay? In addition, he shouldered the revival, independence and fairness of the Irish nation and went to see Ma Zi before leaving. . . How did the leader of the Republican Army promote you back then, presumably the leader was also a woman and was hanged by the handsome guy. . . It doesn't matter if we meet, as for telling people the address? It is said that the arms dealers are brainless, and you are the brainless!
4. Ford: The greatest good man in the world, completely in line with Kant's standard: as long as things are right, even if I kill thousands of people, I will do it, so as not to disturb my conscience. . . He wanted to get Pete for two reasons: one, because Pete killed a cop, and two, if Pete was caught, he died. Regarding the first point, if Pete is caught, the missile will not be shipped to Ireland, and Pete's clan will continue to live in dire straits for a long time. Ford only thinks that the laws of his own country cannot be violated, but he does not think about the fate of the people on the other side of the earth. , not to mention that he is still of Irish descent, and that the missiles are shipped back only as a condition for negotiation, and they will not be launched. Regarding the second point, I didn’t shoot people to death by myself. The audience knew that it was not in line with his original intention of capturing Pete alive, and they also said that we can't escape our lives. Besides, even if he was captured alive, would he be able to break the police's control after he was in prison? It's not like being killed by others, even if you can't die in prison, the relationship between the UK and the US is so good, after being extradited back to the UK, you still have to die?
This arrangement of the movie makes people directly doubt the good policeman Ford's conscience, sacrificing the happiness of thousands of people and the life of his good friend Pete in exchange for the peace of his own conscience. Restricted to the scope of one country, regardless of the life and death of other people, a small citizen who is directly short-sighted! Be a hero in a small way, and be a bitch of a villain in a big way!
5. Give it to the director: In order to create drama conflict and conflict of values (which is more important between different goodness?), the plot is made up, and in order to let Ford know the whereabouts of Pitt, Pitt's girlfriend and Pitt are written as silly hats, in short It is to sacrifice the character of the character in order to complete the clue. It is strongly recommended that the screenwriter go back to the film school to retake the course and learn common sense.
If it is said that the screenwriter is only technically incompetent, then that's fine, but the key is that the values expressed can't help but be questioned. . . My feeling is: no matter who you are for, no matter how many people you are for, as long as you break the law in the United States, you have to die! It is because the writers of the screenplay regard the law of their country as the law of the world that Pitt's final outcome is regarded as inevitable. It is said that after reading the final draft of the script, Pitt asked to terminate the contract because it was different from what he originally read, but he had no choice but to act because the liquidated damages were too high. It can be seen that the handsome guy still has vision, but he was forced to drop the price in this movie.
6. I think the manly ending should be like this: After Ford accidentally killed Pete, because he failed to capture Pete alive, he should send the missile back to Ireland instead of Pete, so as to save the Irish and not violate the duty of the police, the only one. What he committed was treason or supporting terrorism, but that was his own crime. As long as he didn't feel sorry for his friends, and as long as he saved most of the people, he could bear this crime by himself, so what can he say?
