Tip: Under the dividing line, there are all spoilers. If you want to enjoy the plot, don't read it down, otherwise the whole drama will not be very interesting.


I kind of couldn't believe I was staring at a man driving a car in front of the screen and talking on the phone for over an hour...

This is the whole movie, one actor, don't even have to act, just make a phone call, play from the beginning to the end...

hehe~

But it's such a movie, an exaggerated, almost impossible way to express the most profound thing, and we all know what that thing is... It's a movie that is all driving and talking on the phone, but it will The characters return to their original nature without showing any traces of performance, which makes people fully understand such a man... It is such a movie with only one actor, but it portrays so many characters who have no face, their personalities, distinctive characteristics, fresh The living characters are all alive...

I admire such a director!

I admire such a writer!

I am more impressed by this actor!

I love this character!

Appreciate the character created by this character more - Ivan Locke!

I think, isn't the reality we live in as Ivan says to himself in the rearview mirror - can't I just give up? Can't I just sit back and ignore it? Can't I choose to be weak and completely escape?

Isn't that what life teaches us? Isn't that what everyone expects of us? Expecting us to be perfect, expecting us to never make mistakes, expecting us to do exactly what they want for their needs, expecting us to obey, expecting us to...

And completely forget that as a person, you can't be perfect, you can't make mistakes, you can't have your own will, you can't just obey... This is human nature, this is an unalterable universal rule, a natural rule .

Faced with the rules, we have only two choices.

Choosing weak, like Ivan's father, is also the easiest way, isn't it?

Choose strong, like Ivan, the hardest way.

I really hope that I can be like Ivan and can say the sentence "I have made my decision." Firmly take myself to the most difficult place in the world, just to face my own mistakes, even for this, in In less than an hour, he lost his job, lost his wife, and lost his home, but he was still so determined to do what he thought was right, he still arranged his work in an orderly and meticulous manner, and he was still very careful about himself. The child is so kind and amiable, still apologizing to his lover with the most sincere heart, still comforting the weak woman with a man's mind and an almost elderly demeanor, still being courteous to his boss after being fired, and bravely taking his responsibilities, After being rejected, he calmly and humbly persuaded the congressman, still maintaining the greatest insight into the environment and the people around him in a chaotic situation, and still driving stably at high speed even when life has completely plunged into a bottomless pit. Keep the top speed limit...

In fact, it's really not a man, it's a god.

But he is not a god, he is just such an ordinary person who makes mistakes but is tired of repairing, but he is so different. What is different is not only that he dares to take responsibility for his mistakes, but that he is willing to do his best. He lives with all he can and earnestly, such a person who is real and tall.

I like this movie just because I admire this man.

    "You make one mistake, one little fucking mistake, and the whole world comes crashing down around you."

Locke quotes

  • Ivan Locke: You know what? I could just drive around the M-25 into Dover or some-fucking-where and not face it, couldn't I? And just earn good money, cash in hand, working on the cross rail. They make five hundred a day just shoveling shit. Shoveling shit about like you. No, I'm going to drive straight to the worst place for me - the worst place on earth for me to be, even though this... woman is like, she's sad and lonely, hardly bothered with life at all. I felt sorry for her, you know? I felt sorry for her. So how can that be the difference between good and bad?

  • Ivan Locke: I could have easily let the concrete go to hell, but I didn't. You know, dad, when you came creeping back saying you were sorry, it was even worse than staying away. Yes, I'm serious! I could have broken your fucking back for that, but I didn't, and the fact that I could have done it was worse than anything. Because you were so fucking weak! That was the first thing I noticed. So weak. All the things I fucking despise inside one fucking stupid green shirt. You look pathetic. My fucking dad. And what were they, they were trainers, some sort of fucking trainers that teenagers wear. Your hair was all over the place. You don't drink anymore, you don't fucking smoke dope. What, we're all supposed to celebrate, is that it? Celebrate what, exactly?
