2 people who were imprisoned by the system

I don't think this is a movie that wants to talk about politics. What the movie wants to describe is actually a story similar to Romeo and Juliet, where two people who are influenced by unshakable external forces are fighting with their own choices and their own ways. However, due to the limited space and screenwriting ability, the story was not told from the perspective of Ali, but only from the perspective of Blondy, which affected the strength of the film.
From the perspective of Goldilocks, you can see a complete, solid, and airtight system: the flag raising ceremony; the top-down bureaucracy that cannot be changed without authorization; the inexplicable anger of colleagues around the prisoners; finally, the chief has stated directly: " We're stuck here." This situation is also analogous to the prisoners' side, they have a struggle, but the struggle is only through the borrowing system, so Ali is a special person. His revolt stemmed from his revolt against the whole system.
But it is a pity that in the end, the further conflict was not properly joined. The blonde beauty was transferred away, and Ali only received the care of humanity. The film did not break through the existing expression to a higher level of analysis to satirize the absurdity of the system, but stopped to find a passable ending.
Stewart is a very good actress. The biggest feature of her difference from other actresses is that she is extremely hardworking and has been working hard to reverse the legacy of Twilight. Although multiple films have proved that she is not successful, I have seen her progress, and many of her performances in this film have improved significantly. I believe she will be an Oscar-winning actress in the future.

    A well-regarded little story~~~ Life always needs hope and love to continue. As for the so-called Guantanamo, I don't want to say anything.

    Very touching story. What is right and what is wrong can only wait for the verdict of history. Human nature is equal, forever.
