A few years ago, certain US-funded companies in China were sued for violating the "Overseas Unfair Competition Act." At that time, I learned that the US legal system was so strict that even the company's behavior overseas could be regulated. Think about it and worry about their overseas companies. They will do the same in their hometowns and be in harmony with the light. If they don’t dye themselves black, they will not be able to integrate. Americans have a high moral bottom line and strict rules. But if this continues, they will have a good business in China. Do it?
"Training Day" tells the story. The young policeman who just entered the industry resisted the coercion and temptation of his boss, failed to obey the unspoken rules, and guarded his conscience. The excerpts of Washington’s wonderful preaching in the play are as follows,
The sooner you match what's in your head with what's in the real world, the better you'll feel.
In this business, you gotta have dirt on you to be trusted.
When all this is behind you, a whole other world will open up for you.
I walk a higher path, son. I have the keys to all the doors.
My guys aren't leaders, they're clowns. You're a leader. You want my job? You got it. You want to lock up poisoners? This is the place to do it. But you gotta take your time. You 'll make detective, you'll grow wise. And then you can change things. But it's gotta be from the inside.
What is Real world like? When I was in college, I often heard people say that we should understand and adapt to society. Originally, this is how it was expressed in authentic English. The last promise was so touching, "you want my job?", only God knows whether it can be fulfilled, although Washington's look and eyes make people want to believe him. I have also heard many promises. When I was young, my father wrote bad checks. The promises made me motivated to learn. Now my boss often uses a bright future to induce me to work hard, saying that I graduated from the previous group. The one who got eight offers when he graduated, I called and asked, the man said, don’t believe the boss, he just wants you to work with peace of mind. Returnees often say that if they break into the enemy's interior, control their power, and then change them, if they take the initiative to hand in their names, it will be black or white. In the end, they can't tell.
On the one hand is the boss’s good-tempered temptation, beautiful future, and a lot of cash, on the other hand, justice, conscience, law, and professional ethics. And this boss’s rhetoric is so in line with the Chinese people’s understanding of society. I changed me and almost certainly followed him. Oh, life, life, I really admire this little policeman who just entered the industry. He is a person who has grown up in American culture. The concept of right and wrong is strong. Put yourself in the situation and think about him. This time you will be convinced by your boss. You have to do anything bad, just want to go after you get a vote? Wait for you to be killed. If you don’t follow, your boss will kill someone in front of you and make a confession. Naturally, you won’t be left alive. It’s difficult.
Washington won an Oscar for best actor for this film, and the little policeman also won a nomination for best supporting actor.
