Xianlai accidentally turned to this old movie, originally just wanting to pass the time, but I was a little uncomfortable after watching it. I don't want to involve too many spoilers here, I just want to talk about the relationship between reality and the film. Even if you live in the United States, where the rule of law is known to be sound, male protagonists will encounter troubles similar to this kind of law that are difficult to solve, just like you, me, and others around you, whether you like it or not, sometimes troubles just fall from the sky like this. And every ordinary us seems to panic like the male protagonist in the movie at the beginning, because we have no background, but underneath the seemingly glamorous appearance is an extremely fragile core, so the first time we will always choose to seek help from outside. . The male protagonist initially chose the police, but finally gave up due to the embarrassment of the extramarital affairs. Later, when faced with the first extortion, he chose to ask his lawyer for help, and then gave up again because there was not enough evidence. The two male protagonists were just like most of us. I hope that the crisis can be resolved through the power of law through legitimate channels. Unfortunately, all of them have failed. As a last resort, I have to be a dead horse doctor. I have adopted the advice of a black colleague and hoped to use the law to rub the sideball (the black colleague’s gun is not loaded). The way to resolve the crisis, who knows that things have gone against one's wishes again, and a life was taken, making the already battered male protagonist even worse. At this point, it seems that the trouble seems to have reached the point of incomprehension, the male protagonist can only obediently admit the counsel, the story should also end here, right? Isn’t this like every mortal in real life? We are all ordinary citizens who abide by the law. When almost no results, most people will be like the male lead, only to admit counsel. But the plot developed to this point, but suddenly turned around. The male protagonist who had been led by the nose suddenly realized that this series of troubles was a scam, so the male protagonist who had originally counseled was finally enlightened after the previous baptism and came out. On their own! After that, I settled down and planned carefully. After that, the road to revenge of the tooth for the tooth and violence was completed all the way. Although the plot of the revenge part is full of loopholes, the perfect ending is more to cater to the audience, but the truth is still the same after all. It is better to ask for others than for yourself. Only a strong self can finally save one's life.
