Things You Didn't Understand About "British Showdown"

Looking through the film reviews, I found that many people did not understand the film at all. I was also confused when I came out of the theater. I would like to thank 1910's "Interpretation of the British Showdown from Another Angle" and the essence of magic "Finally Wronged Right" A Bad Guy" and popular science posts about the grievances between Ireland and England, I suggest that you read these posts to clarify the background of the characters and the background of the events.

Speaking of the film, first of all I have to like it, it is really a deep and complete story.

Why is Guan so sensitive to politics? This stemmed from his complicated encounters. A Chinese who participated in the Vietnam War, was trained by the US military in Vietnam, smuggled in, encountered pirates, lost two daughters, and the last daughter was killed in a terrorist attack... Listen to these words - Vietnam War, refugees, smuggling, pirates , terrorist attack, in fact, behind all his tragic encounters, there are political overturning hands. He is a little civilian who was sacrificed by politics, and the other refugees, even pirates, and even terrorists, are also victims of politics in essence. Guan is silent and insignificant, but he is not stupid or ignorant. He is sober, but unable to escape his fate.

An unfortunate figure at the bottom is like Guan, so what about the politicians at the top of the pyramid? 007 turned out to be the leader of a terrorist organization. Later, he surrendered to the government and turned into a high-ranking official. His suit was imposing and imposing, but what did he want in his heart? Is it to give amnesty to rescue comrades? Is the virtual and the snake plotting independence? Is it a high-ranking official? Is it all in control? No matter what, he worked hard to get a break with his former comrades (and probably his former self), a green hat, a nephew who can no longer be trusted, a wife who stabbed in the back, a wife who killed, and a spy lover lurking around him , out-of-control violence, and, ultimately, disfigurement. As a person who is surrounded by various forces and has selfish desires, what else can he get? What politician is not like this? Some people say that in the end, the British government became the winner. As soon as the photos of NO, 007 and the terrorist's lover were sent out, the people would question the government, and some people would be held accountable. more uncontrollable.

At the end of the film, the police chief said that this Chinaman has a beginning and an end in his work, and we owe him a favor, so I'll stop it, this value is very mafia~ How did it pass the trial!
