The long road to world peace

When I was a child, I watched the previous paragraph on the movie channel, and I remember it was wonderful, but unfortunately my mother scolded it for doing my homework. Years later, I suddenly remembered this movie and re-watched it.

I watched the opening scene several times when I was a kid, and I thought it would be unbearable to watch it several times now. Unexpectedly, the movie still caught my eye from the very beginning. The suspense left for the audience before the end of several perspectives makes people eager to know what happened.

Car robberies, car chases, explosions, and criminally-minded planning reminds me of the heist missions in GTA5, a game I recently played, step-by-step, with precision and perfection to reach the end goal. The difference is that if the mission fails in the game, you can start over again, but this time the crime fails and you lose the whole game. What's more, this is just the resourcefulness of one person and the actions of a few people, and there is no large number of supporters (should have). So I have to admire the ability of this mind, which is comparable to the male protagonist of "Law Abiding Citizen".

The characters are well portrayed, and the editing, needless to say, of the car chase is very exciting. What I want to say is the motives of these "jihadists", terrorists. There's a guy with a human bomb in the film, looking at a few pictures during his final mission. It is conceivable that his relatives were killed or indirectly killed in a certain military operation in the United States (think that the United States can kill, disable, and displace thousands of people in peacetime), it is not difficult to understand their idea. These people may just be full of hatred for their leaders, taken advantage of by someone with political ulterior motives.

Therefore, the good and evil sides in the film are all opposites. There is nothing wrong with assassination, but seeing innocent victims makes people hate the cruelty of these people. The criminal leader in the story is undoubtedly a ruthless character. In order to make himself retreat, he not only set up many organs, but also killed the younger brother of the kidnapper and broke the agreement. In the end, he avoided making the little girl look bizarre, but thinking about it again, if he hit his car, he would inevitably be stopped and searched, and it would be difficult to escape. However, I still believe that the reason that finally made him rush the steering wheel was a trace of pity and a trace of humanity in his heart.

The road to peace is not as simple as a country thinks about it and gets rid of terrorists. If you are not right, and you are pointing all the time, then peace will never come to your place of residence.
