film was shot in 2007. The difference from the previous three episodes is that it shows attacks from the virtual world's network, so it covers more than the previous three episodes. It came in a vast expanse, all over the country.
It can also be seen in this film that after 9/11, the American’s identification of the imaginary enemy has often stepped out of the Cold War mentality. The core villain in the film is a self-alienated villain, and his character in the film The plausible statement made his motives appear to be reasonable, and the criticism he publicized gave people a sense of sympathy.
If he is not indiscriminately killing innocent people, then he may also become a just incarnation of opposition to US national policy.
However, his biggest negative effect is that he is the enemy of human beings, and is the rejection of them after the use of his opponents.
It can be said that the movie still follows the moral judgment, which is higher than its political judgment. He was first as a negative person because he was morally far away from human morality.
This is also somewhat similar to "Fast and Furious". In the sixth episode of the series, a female teammate with amnesia joins the terrorist. The biggest difference between this terrorist leader and the drag racing gang is the ruthlessness of his opponents. When the subordinates on the mission are killed, he doesn’t care, which makes The female driver squatted again and returned to her former team. Here, the identification of the villain's role is also tied to the role of the villain through moral identification.
The same is true for the terrorist leader in this film. According to the video introduction, he was originally the chief programmer of the internal security system of the Ministry of National Defense. After September 19th, he pointed out at the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the defense security system has weaknesses and is extremely vulnerable to attacks. He hopes to overhaul the entire program, but The government refused to accept it. For this reason, his emotions began to antagonize and he tried to make his views public. At this time, the government destroyed his reputation and frozen his property, and then he disappeared.
When he appeared again, he launched a three-handed operation against the government.
These three actions: One is to control information traffic, the other is to control finance and finance, and the third is to destroy infrastructure. These three tricks can draw a direction for terrorists to attack and plunder invariably.
The base he controls is the target of the final attack in the film. This base was originally a security facility for backing up financial data set up by the National Security Agency outside Baltimore. Terrorist Thomas used this base to launch cyberattacks only for my own purposes, and to resolve financial data one by one and steal them from it. Money, the ultimate goal, is to be transformed into money.
This is the ultimate goal of the terrorists in episodes 1, 3, and 4. The terrorists in Episode 2 have a political purpose, and they are carrying out the great cause of saving people.
This film is twelve years apart from the previous episode. The protagonist John has entered middle age and his personal life is not going well. His wife divorced him and remarried. Now his daughter has a boyfriend. He controls it and is backlashed by his daughter. For this reason, he himself ridiculed himself. He never had any heroic plans, but was forced to do so.
This also means that the world is drunk and I am alone. I don't want to be different, but there are no awake and wise people in the world, so I can only show others in an awake posture.
John is like that.
The setting of the film is similar to the previous episode. The previous episode arranged him with a black partner, and this episode arranged him with a young man of daughter generation. From the beginning of the general acquaintance to the end of life and death, the two realized the transformation from confrontation to year-end acquaintance. The biggest change is that the originally weak young man Matthew, under the leadership of John, actually picked it up. Guns, at the critical moment, a sword sealed the enemy's throat. The profound changes that took place in his body reflected John's personal brilliance of being in danger and showing his heroic qualities.
The last line is quite meaningful. John praised the bravery and fearlessness of the young man. The young man said helplessly: "What else can I do?" It meant that the times created people, and in desperate circumstances, he had to give his life. John summed up for this: "So, you can be a hero." This is exactly his self-identification. It was because he knew that he had to do it, so he fell into the heroic behavior that he didn't want to do step by step. This personality is in line with the personality path he has developed since the first episode.
In the beginning, he originally performed the task of escorting a young hacker, but it was this young hacker who was a member of the terrorist attack system, and after using him, the terrorist had decided to kill him.
So, the killer came to the hacker house at the same time, so John had to be involved in a fight.
At this time, John was passive. He took the hackers to the police headquarters. He was chased by a helicopter sent by terrorists on the road. In the film, John drove up into the sky in a tunnel, destroying the helicopter. Myth, but it seems to be an important antecedent that inspired "Fast and Furious" to have this pioneering work. I'm not afraid of doing it or not, I'm afraid of not thinking about it. This movie has already thought of this incredible thrilling act of a car hitting an aircraft. Why should there be more "teaching me" learners?
After understanding the danger of being chased and killed, John began to defensively and approached the hero. The logic of the movie began to work. First, the young hacker told him the direction of the terrorists' next attack. His logic is that the terrorists have entered the third move, which is to attack the infrastructure, which is the center of eastern power. , Is its target of attack.
Terrorists who have been successfully conducting cyber attacks must also conduct physical attacks. The arrangement of the movie reflects that the network is still virtual and not so magical. The key nodes must be physically attacked. However, the film obviously did not consider whether it was justified. The key point of the film is to let both the good and the evil have a fight in the power plant.
Here, John and the terrorist’s girlfriend, Miss May, have a fist and kick together. John uses a car to smash May into the elevator shaft. Here comes a fierce battle in the air, which is the second thrilling feature in the film.
The next step is to find out where the terrorists attacked. This point is closer to the church that issued the command to control the aircraft in the second episode. With the help of another computer hacker, it was discovered that there was an abnormal temperature in Woodron, where the Bureau of Social Affairs was located, which proved that there was a computer operating system there. So the goal was determined there. The truthfulness of this logic is equally suspicious, but it is enough to make the final duel in the film have a justification.
The terrorists have retreated from the base and kidnapped John's daughter. John had to hijack a terrorist's truck and chase the car. The terrorists used the controlled communication system to command a fighter plane to intercept John, pushing the thrilling spectacle of the plane chasing the truck to a new level. This is also since the fight on the plane in the second episode. Can't escape the spectacle inertia of using airplanes.
John magically jumped onto the plane when the truck exploded, and then landed safely, bringing this thrill to an incredible level.
The last gun battle was placed between the terrorists and John and his daughter. At this moment, family affection finally became the theme of the gun battle. Although clichéd, it was very exciting and easy for the audience to substitute. Family affection can be seen as an important magic weapon in Hollywood movies. From the former passive to the present active confrontation, John's motive was for the purpose of his family. The motivation of a hero has the meaning of moral commanding heights and has won the psychological recognition of the audience. The amiable side of the hero supports all his actions and turns his violent behavior into a feat. It can be said that the family card is very familiar in Hollywood.
The film is still busy in various regions. But not as concentrated as the previous episode. The conflict is not as intense as the previous episode. The meaning of sociality is slightly weakened. The film is more of a duel in a few local areas, rather than involving all aspects of urban traffic like the upper part.
