I was hit in the waist by inertia

The teacher who took you is a famous and ruthless character in the industry. Following him, you seem to be able to smell the smell of success all the time. The teacher tells you that as long as you pass the first day of assessment, then the broad road will be spread under your feet. All in all, you are scared, nervous, and even more excited. You must not mess up today. However, this day has become more and more different from what you imagined from the beginning. The teacher is very strict, showing a completely different style of doing things from the book. This greatly attracted you. You went against your original intentions.

At this moment, you suddenly discovered that from the beginning of today, you have stepped into a long-planned trap, and the designer of this trap is your teacher... …

This is "Training Day", in Qing's words, a very special movie. In fact, I have actually had the experience of passing this film twice. The first time was several years ago. I bought a DVD player at home and the mall gave a trial disk, which is "Training Day". At that time, I also blamed my contempt for the status of this disk as an experimental product, so I didn’t think of it at all. Now it is still lying in the box of my DVD player; the second time I went to the disk store to buy a disk. At that time, it seemed that I picked up the film in order to round up the whole number, but when I checked out, I remembered the disk in the DVD box. So put it down again. Until a few days ago, Xiao Lu, who was far away in Gansu, gave me a list of his ratings for last year's movies. The movie was on the list and he was rated as five stars. Brothers have always had a lot of exchanges in watching movies. Everyone has different tastes and different evaluations, and they can check each other to make up for the missing. So I quickly turned out the tray pressed in the DVD box, quietly sank into the sofa, and clicked The start button is pressed.

In fact, the special thing about this film is that it has successfully chosen an extremely good actor, Denzel Washington. Every one of us has always been led by him in the movie watching experience. Looking at his performance, you seem to always be unwilling to believe it. One of the simplest truths: In fact, he is the villain, all of which was designed by him! It’s as if you asked Pu Cunxin to create a gangster with a left green dragon and a white tiger on the right. The audience will always see the end and hope that Brother Pu will take off his fake beard, and say something cruel to his comrades. : Sorry, I'm actually an undercover agent. The screenwriter and director of this film made full use of the stereotypes that Washington used to shape the decent image in the audience's mind, and succeeded in tricking the audience. Look forward to it. I hope that the Russians will be shot into a hornet's nest in the end, and I haven't shouted the righteous sentence: I'm sorry, in fact, I'm an undercover agent.

In addition, the film also makes full use of a potential narrative mode prevailing in Hollywood, that is, when the audience has watched so many films, most of them will think that those protagonists who are cool and maverick must represent justice and must be opposed to them. Darkness, corruption, and injustice for the majority of people. However, this film did not do this. What is cool and maverick is taking advantage of the system's loopholes, which is injustice, and the fledgling, traditionally educated boy believes in justice. Maybe the reality is not as dramatic as in the movie, so the good and the evil are so distinct, then the last-minute rescue, then... the reality is like this, it's simple and cruel.

It is under the combined effect of these two major conditions that the always kind and intelligent audience is fooled, but it is very cool and happy to be fooled. Watching movies, we like the feeling of being fooled. Although we feel a little funny about our innocence after watching it, it is really a peculiar movie-watching experience. Hit the waist by the inertia of our movie watching, leaning on the waist and smiling, smiling...
