Definitely an underrated good movie

The first time I saw this movie was 10 years ago.
Relive it again, I am excited!
Probably because there are so many things in my heart that I want to say, being said so well by someone far away.

Let's first look at a sentence in the "Tao De Jing":
Therefore, there is no intergrowth, difficulty and easy interdependence, long and short intercourse, superior and inferior intercourse, harmony of sound and sound, followed by each other.

If you were to create the world, how would you make everything look less boring and flat?

Why are there fools in the world? Will there be ugly things? Will there be disability?
How should they know themselves?
It turns out that stupidity and cleverness, ugliness and beauty, disability and soundness, are one!
Polarity, yes, it is polarity, which is a basic principle for constructing our world.
This movie tells the process of two people's self-knowledge. One is the self in the mirror of the other. Comrade Samuel Jackson has a higher level of self-consciousness, while Bruce Willis is in the sadness of waking up every morning. middle.

As for comics, heroes, football, marriage, sons... these are all materials and packaging. To tell a story well, almost no shots are superfluous, and the angles of each shot are very clever.
This movie will be re-evaluated.
