I watched it on the plane I was on vacation (like Singapore Airlines, I gave some surprises). It was so tangled that I wrote a movie review on my mobile phone while on vacation... Here are the four major entanglements (Shen Xia messed up, please forgive an NCF)
Conflict 1:
Who is more evil, the government that hides information or Assange who publishes them .
I don't like revolutionaries who think they represent justice and make personal sacrifices in the name of justice. When Bai Mao broke into Dan's house and ignored Dan's girlfriend's anger and said to Dan "you just have to sacrifice", I think such a "revolutionary" is actually no different from the government he opposes. They all divide the needs of people: I think the right is above everything else, and others should sacrifice for it.
(Shenxia rushes in) I retorted to myself, why do you think Sherlock is not like that? NCF replied: Sherlock is not the case, the detective also has a girlfriend who ignores the doctor, but that is because the doctor has his own high and low in his heart. The doctor can't remember whether his girlfriend has a dog, because the doctor himself doesn't care enough. What he cares more about is the detective and their adventure. This is not what the detective asked or forced the doctor to do. Detectives never ignore what doctors care about. Even if it was something he didn't bother to care about, he would care for the doctor's care. When a doctor really cares about a Mary, that's what detectives do, right? He folded napkins for him, wrote waltzes, practiced dance moves, and wrote speeches. If it goes too far, it is cruel to say too much.
To take a step back, detectives are fictional characters after all, and the laws of romance in a fictional world apply - so, I'm going to digress again, so the detective can kill the big boss with one shot and be excused, and so Mary doesn't have to give the detective for herself. A single bullet of a man pays any price, not even four minutes of exile. From the detective's point of view, Mary could but did not give herself a fatal shot, indicating that she was just playing with herself, that she was punched because she deliberately stepped forward to provoke her, and asked herself for drugs. The nature of twisting his brother's arm is a conflict with his own family (although this makes the brain-dead fans very distressed). If taken seriously, according to the laws of reality, the "correct" ending is for the detective to go to jail or even the death penalty. There is no shortage of people in the world who challenge existing laws for the purpose of "justice", and you can do so, provided you are prepared to pay the price. And history is slowly progressing in the sacrifices of these people. Macroscopically, these are all necessary. Of course, I think the detective will accept it calmly no matter what the price is. He was ready to pay the price of his life to fulfill the oath. Of course I think he really is not just for the doctor couple, as he said, the big boss prey on people who are different. And the volume himself is a different person, his empathy anger is not difficult to understand.
Going around again, Bai Mao is real and cannot be romanticized, and what he is involved in is actually a very serious issue that needs to be viewed dialectically. So I don't like this kind of revolutionaries who ignore individual lives in the name of justice. There is no shortage of such people in Chinese history. Including his ignoring that the leaks posed a threat to the lives of some people.
- This goes back to Sherlock (by contrast, uh...), when someone dies he says it's Christmas. He says I'm not a hero. So he just doesn't invest in feelings that he thinks are useless, he wants to accept challenges, and he doesn't regard himself as a hero and doesn't ask others to recognize his "indifference". But Bai Mao thinks he is a hero, and thinks that if he sacrifices others (not just verbally or inwardly disregarding other people's lives, but actively causing sacrifice by his actions), it is also just.
But -- the point is, but if you have to choose a side, I think I'd still be willing to stand on Assange's side, because he's on the egg side compared to the government. Of course, this is also debatable. Why isn't the person whose security is threatened by his leaks?
The reason is as follows: First of all, the source of the leak is not Baimao, but a person in the military. Baimao did not steal or cheat but just received the information. He is just a container for water, and the water drips down by itself. Then he acts as a megaphone, but now that the secret has been leaked, there might actually be someone else even if he doesn't reveal it. He just doesn't want to interfere with the process and just follows the natural flow of information. That is, a bucket of water is accumulated and a hole is made in the bottom of the bucket to allow the water to emerge with greater momentum. And what Dan wanted to do was filter the water, which, in Baimao's view, interfered with the free flow of information. From the perspective of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, I think it is difficult to convict White Hair just because of this. It should be inferred from the precedents of "Progressive Magazine". You cannot be convicted of processing and disseminating information that already exists. The government can only try to take good care of its own secrets. No one can save you if you reveal it. And, after all, White Hair was right that the sacrifice of the leak was only potential (and, by his own account, never happened), while the casualty of the secrecy was already inflicted. If both sides may be sacrificing others for their own interests, I think the stronger and established government is more terrible and needs checks and balances. I guess that's what most Americans think too (I guess I need to know if it is).
And for the same reason, when Bai Mao's data was destroyed by Dan, I don't feel sorry for Bai Mao (it won't be as distressed as the doctor leaving the detective... The brain is too big, eh). Every force requires checks and balances, as long as it happens freely, it is reasonable, and all these forces of freedom combine to form the status quo and direction of society. The government needs people like Bai Mao to check and balance, and Bai Mao also needs people like Dan to check and balance. check and balance , that's what the world needs.
Tangle two:
what is real, and whether the basis for your judgment is reliable.
Assange said the show was based on two of the most unreliable books, and Daniel had his point of view. I don't think anyone can agree that a two-hour movie can fully understand and show itself, even if the audience thinks it is beautified, the parties may seem to be just simplifying.
I was moved to tears when I saw Aung San Suu Kyi, but Aung San did not approve of it. Therefore, I have said so much in the first point above, and I feel that I don’t like Bai Mao’s self-righteousness, or I feel that I will stand on Bai Mao’s side. It may be just based on an unreliable foundation. This judgment is made only because I understand Not enough.
Confused
about why Sanque played this role.
I think Que is a more politically minded person. It seems that this kind of thing was talked about in an interview, but I didn't take it seriously. He mentioned the letter from Assange to him, and Que told everyone frankly that Bai Mao did not approve of the show and did not want him to act. Did the lack explain why he was acting? I do not remember. Perhaps as he said at the end of the play, no one can perfectly show the truth, and he will not change whether he acts or not. As long as the audience understands this, it is also very meaningful to find their own truth. The lack of the first half does not seem to exceed Shenxia's model, of course, this is the screenwriter's problem. I think the second half still reflects the acting. It can also be seen from the interpretation of his performance that curly hair and white hair are really different. Juan is a pure and kind child who just wants to live in his own world (the love and protection of his brother is also one of the reasons why he can really do this), he doesn't want to control others, at most he is arrogant Just asking for a hug. White Hair is a controlling paranoid.
Tangled four:
the purpose of the crew.
But for the filming of this drama, I really want to question its "motivation", I think it is a kind of "manipulation". Especially in the first half when I saw Shenxia's immediate sense of sight. When Bai Mao said how boring these people were, and broke into Dan's house without any scruples, saying do I have you to Dan, it was too deliberate. I feel that the screenwriter deliberately wrote it like this and let the lack of performance cater to the audience. So I would feel that both Bai Mao and Que were used. Of course I believe Que is not that stupid.
In the end, I still have to give this drama 5 stars, because the current score is too low... I hope more people will watch it and then go to find their "truth".
