Weibo, bloggers once started a topic called "When you were a child, who did you want your father to be?" There are many answers. One of the assumptions related to "Edge of Darkness" is: When I was in kindergarten, I just said that my dad was a policeman, and the short and fat bully who bullied me immediately scared the urine! This is, of course, the role of a father imagined by many boys. The police seem to be the embodiment of justice. When you are an adult and you will be beaten and bruised, the appearance of a policeman is a bit like Jesus descending to earth, not your father, you want to call him father too.
So, do you still consider yourself lucky when your dad is really a cop, and a homicide detective cop who worked as a special forces officer? Growing up in a single-parent family, I finally got a job at MIT, and got a decent job in a research institute, but as soon as I got home, I didn't stay for a night before I was shot by my father's enemy and died in front of my door. . This is the tragic end of being a policeman's daughter, but is this really the case? Did Mel Gibson's tough dad really offend anyone and put his daughter to death? So, if you want to provoke you, don't provoke the old iron man who was a soldier. Mel Gibson forced her life back on track the day after her daughter died. He began to investigate the cause of his daughter's death by himself... (I won't spoil the spoiler, a few friends have given me comments, saying that I always spoiled, so I didn't want to read the movie reviews I wrote)
In "Edge of Darkness", Mel Gibson's role as a police dad didn't show a sturdy and bloody side from the beginning. This is different from William Wallace in "Braveheart". After all, Mel Gibson is also an old man of nearly 60 years old. He was in his prime when he would star in "Braveheart" and roam the grasslands. Therefore, at the beginning of the film, Mel Gibson showed a sense of loneliness and fatigue, and his only relative and daughter was not around, so he had to work hard, win the respect of others, and pass the boring time. Is this a portrayal of Mel Gibson's real life? Then his daughter was murdered, and he used all the strength in him to find the truth. During the period, I met with my daughter's boyfriend. During the fight, Mel Gibson struggled several times before subduing the young and strong guy, panting against the wall and resting for a while before he began to speak. Seeing this makes me feel a lot. Think of those tough guys who used to be so brilliant, so forthright, so handsome, Robert De Niro, Kevin Costner, Mel Gibson, Bruce Wesley, and even Robert Downey Jr., which one is not fat now Not aging? Compared with the rising young meat, the older generation of screen guys are also changing their roles. The best one is Robert De Niro. His "Journey to the Family" is recommended in many places, and it is also a true portrayal. An old man who was widowed after retirement, took a taxi by himself to visit several of his "prosperous" children. But what they get is a broken and cruel truth.
this is life. When you are not in the center of the storm or on the battlefield of gunpowder smoke, you find yourself covered in injuries, and the surroundings are terribly silent, and you can only walk slowly with your mottled legs. No matter how vigorous a person lives, it cannot resist the signs of aging.
Go away, pull back to the film. Mel Gibson used all the strength in his body to avenge his daughter. The truth may be revealed, or it may be forever hidden by the words of politicians. Actually, it doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is how the hero calls the curtain and makes people feel that he is dignified to go down the stairs. I think, after watching "Edge of Darkness", you must have your own answer.
