Snail and wolf

In "Training Day," Roger, the drug lord, teaches the rookie policeman Jack how to survive on the street, saying that he can easily get mixed up in the streets if he has penetrated the snail jokes. Later, Jack was beaten severely by Alenzo, wounded in the shape of a snail-shaped snail. He did not give up like a snail. He maintained a kind of riffraff-like perseverance. He jumped from a tall building to Alonzo’s car, insisting that the green mountain was not relaxed and entangled to the end. Finally, with the help of drug dealers, Alenzo's perfect plan was destroyed. Alenzo was at the end of his life when a wolf was defeated by a snail. On the training day, Jack did not follow the instructions of his boss, but practiced the enlightenment of the drug lords, and only then did justice and punish the cancer of the police. The paradox of life is so consistent.


A week before Jack went to work in the anti-drug team, police officer Alenzo, who was in charge of training him, had set up a trap to make him a scapegoat and put him dead. This trap is indeed crazy, bold, meticulous, insidious, vicious, and vicious. Allenzuo worked in a scheming manner, and as soon as he touched him, he set up a first impression of a big temper and a lot of rules, and then continued to show his aggressiveness and control. He appears to be powerful and omnipotent, just like a yellow pharmacist on the streets of Los Angeles. His words and deeds tell Jack that he is the king of the street, and he can do whatever he wants on his one-third of acre of land, forcing Jack to succumb to his authority. Alenzo continued to instill in Jack the philosophy of being a wolf, saying that only wild wolves can catch wild wolves. He repeatedly asked Jack whether to be a wild wolf or a sheep, and repeatedly found noble reasons for his fierce, greedy, cold-blooded ruthlessness. Jack was brainwashed step by step, surrendering step by step in the swinging struggle, step by step into the trap.


Fortunately, Jack has good quality, integrity, seriousness, daring to work hard, and skill. In the alley encounter, he subdued the two perpetrators, picked up the victim's wallet, put it away according to professional habits, and returned it to the party after the incident. It was this routine action that abide by the professional norms that saved Jack's own life. If Alenzo finds the wallet, he will remove the money in the bag, and then throw the wallet everywhere. The boss of the Mountain Alliance, Smery, took Alonzo's money and wanted to kill Jack, but accidentally found Jack's wallet. A phone call confirmed that Jack was his cousin's lifesaver, so Jack got his life back. Jack, who suddenly realized that he had been punished by Alenzo, launched a retaliatory action and brought down the invincible boss.


On the site of the Mountain Alliance, Jack was dragged to play cards with Smery. In the chat, he talked about Alonzo. The boss Smery said that he never shakes hands with Alonzo, because this person does everything. Disrespect. The words of the gang boss revealed the key to Alenzo's final defeat. Alenzo obviously does not respect family affection. His illegitimate son is even closer to Jack. When Jack came to seek revenge, the child opened the door very obediently. In contrast, the boss of the Shanlian Gang, Smerley, paid more attention to family affection. When he wanted to kill, he still cared about what happened to his cousin. Alenzo didn’t respect love. His mistress leaned against the door with a lonely face after he left. Alonzo left or didn’t care about his mistress’s feelings, so he came here. It’s just “collecting taxes” and leaving when it’s collected; Alonzo has no respect for the professional ethics of the police. It is simply trampling. He does not care that he degenerates into Satan when he fights with Satan; Allen Zo naturally does not respect the law. In his consciousness, he can be above the law: I am the law, go home or go to jail, I have the final say; Alenzo especially does not respect the fellowship, and even talks to Jack when he chats with Jack. Wife, in the end, he hurt his innocent and honest colleagues; Alenzo and drug lord Roger are half friends, but in order to raise money for life-saving, they shouted that his brother would take the guy from his waist and kill him without mercy. After Roger, he has no respect for friendship; for his tax objects, the drug dealers, Alenzo has no respect. He regards the relationship between them as knife and fish, and exerts high pressure on the drug dealers. Policy, do not treat them as human beings, treat them as scum, drug dealers dare to be angry with him and dare not say anything.

One must always be in awe, and don't regard yourself as God, otherwise punishment will come. Human beings do not respect the laws of nature, and nature will retaliate against humans; if they do not respect the law, the sword of justice will fall; if they do not respect others, the congregation will betray their relatives; a person who does not respect anything must be a very powerful person, but after all, people are People, even if they see through the sky, he is not a god. There are always places he can't reach, and there are always areas he can't play. Alonzo breaks all rules, is impossibility, dominates everything, does not respect anything, and will inevitably stumble. Alonzo shot and killed important members of the Russian gang in Las Vegas. This is an extension of his domineering behavior on the streets of Los Angeles, but this time he hit the iron plate and annoyed the offender. Finally was beaten into a sieve. If Alenzo treats the drug dealers as human beings, it is likely that the drug dealers will stand on his side and help him kill Jack. His redemption plan can still be realized, but his arrogance has long caused the drug dealers to complain. Deep, at a critical moment, he turned his back and pushed him to death; and if Alenzo cared more about his mistress, the mistress would find a way to help him deal with the weak Jack, instead of indifferent and cold-eyed watching him on the streets. . Alenzo's plan basically has no loopholes, as long as Jack dies and pushes everything on the dead, everything will be fine. But Alenzo, who has no respect for anything, obviously underestimated Jack’s respect for the police’s professional ethics. Jack still maintained a policeman’s keenness even though he had taken drugs, drank, and was dizzy. He still did not lose a policeman’s sense of responsibility. When someone went to the alley to commit an attack, he immediately rushed out of the car and killed his life with the murderer. This section has a lot of meaning. Jack inadvertently saved himself while saving others. The world has its own justice, and there is always a reward for paying.


In the end, the film returns to the old-fashioned triumph of justice. The reversal of the plot does not rely on any miracle, nor does it turn Jack into a blue wave with an outnumbered enemy. Instead, it sets up the details of life such as picking up wallets and purses. Power makes the film’s political correctness convincing, and at the same time hanging the life of Jack, who represents justice, also illustrates the scarcity and fragility of justice. It also points out the power, danger, and irresistible temptation of Alonzo’s philosophy. Be especially vigilant.


Whoever God wants to perish must first make it crazy. "Training Day" is undoubtedly a good footnote to this motto. This movie created a crazy but charming image of a corrupt policeman. Films such as "L.A. Confidential" and "Blood Splatter No. 13 Police Station" all used group portraits to expose the dark scenes of the police, while "Training Day" adopted a method of case analysis, focusing on Alenzo alone. This wild wolf is depicted exhaustively. He is rampant, doing whatever he wants, preying everywhere, killing arbitrarily, ignoring any norms, and finally dying in madness. Jack, who is the opposite of Alenzo, is a fearful newcomer. He was almost assimilated by the evil boss. After he escaped from the dead, he used his own way to cure his body, making Alenzo's perfect plan fall short. This is only a principled snail. Rogue-style perseverance defeated the seemingly invincible wolf. However, despite the death of the wild wolf, the philosophy of the wild wolf will live forever. There are still many followers of Alenzo. The victory of the snails is only temporary. Their struggle will not end, and the training day will always repeat itself.
