No matter how high-level hacking technology is, it can't make a wonderful and cool movie, so the director chose a very funny and easy-to-present angle "human beings are the biggest security hole". why? Because "human beings are inherently timid and gullible", because "people only see what they want to see" and they can win if they dare. It is this principle that only the leader of the copy-paste team once became the idol of the master Benjamin, and he could cheat food and drink in the McDonald's uncle's shop without bringing a penny. The film has been sublimated to the field of social engineering, and the idea is high.
The highly professional Benjamin and Play Tickets set up a hacker organization, the name was taken by Benjamin: Clay (abbreviation of clown laugh at you), which means the clown is laughing at you. Among them, the team leader basically relies on lip service to fool around, the tattooed dancer picks locks to liven up the atmosphere, and the big beard is a thinker like Nietzsche who doesn't often throw cold water or something. Their organization doesn't really do anything to really destroy it, it's all pranks or something. It is said to be a new talent in the hacking industry, rather than a wonderful flower in the world of online hacking. In one operation, due to Benjamin's misunderstanding, MRX discovered them, so they were framed and became "real criminals". At that moment, the team leader admitted that he was a rookie, and the team began to really be led by Benjamin. Suddenly, he changed from a withdrawn and cowardly loser to a little superman Benjamin who understands psychology, tactics, tactics and courage.
He dared to come to Hannah alone, surrendered himself, and promised to help her find MRX. MRX found it, and exposed its unreasonable details, childhood shadows, etc., which aroused the suspicion of the investigators led by Hannah, and was considered to be multiple personalities.
When it comes to the unemployment issue of personal interests, the calm and rational Hannah also has a moment's sensibility overcomes reason and lets Benjamin go. When they parted, Benjamin changed the magic of sugar cubes and hinted to Hannah, who let him go, the trick he was playing. his girlfriend), in the end he was a big winner, his girlfriend caught up, his friends were around him, and it goes without saying that his leadership position was consolidated.
The rhythm of the movie is tight and not hectic. The scenes created by the light and shadows are very good to promote the development of the plot. It has suspense and philosophy, which is really wonderful. But after careful scrutiny, there are many unreasonable things. For example, how could Benjamin have such a big change in personality, just because the team leader told him that he could win if he had the guts, he instantly became brave and resourceful? For example, such a professional hacker does not know to cover the camera on the computer? But the flaws do not hide the beauty.
If you look at it from another angle, and directly see Benjamin as multiple personalities, many plots appear more reasonable.
I mentioned just now that the filming of the film is also very exciting. There is a scene of chasing in a subway tunnel. The entire picture is divided into two areas of the same size on the left and right by the shadow of the wall. The two areas are public officials and hackers. The contrast between height and size, and the relationship between the character's position and identity are very clear, and at the same time have a visual aesthetic. Comparable to photography in Jacques Baker's Cave. (I recommend this movie about escape from prison to many people, but I have not been able to find the source of the film since then)
In the film, there is an oil painting hanging on the wall of the psychiatrist's clinic. In the painting, a man is standing facing the mirror in front of the fireplace. There is a book on the fireplace. Both the book and the person are reflected in the mirror, but the reflection of the person is reflected in the mirror. Still his back. This work, titled "Not to Be Reproduced", was created by the Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte in 1937. The man in the painting is James, who gave Magritte his apartment for free at that time. , to support his creation. The director imitated the expression method of this painting, making the protagonist stand in front of the mirror facing the mirror, and the mirror also shows the back.
