Generally speaking, an easy life will make people slow and let people only know how to enjoy, so the word "being prepared for danger in times of peace" will flash out to warn us. In the same way, living in innocence and beauty forever, intoxicated in the perfection of fantasy, will also unconsciously develop antibodies to the ugliness of reality. Does rejection mean it does not exist? I saw a sentence that shocked me a few days ago: Ignorants are just half-finished products of people. I suddenly wanted to touch more truth, whether it was good or evil, whether it was cruel or not. I don't want to find that I have never lived completely when my life ends. I watched a movie that shocked me the other day: a car crash. Suddenly, I was panicked and overwhelmed, because I found that when I truly stood in the middle of good and evil, I was once lost. Which side of the balance of human nature tends to be more inclined? After watching the film, another movie with extremely similar structure and technique appeared in my mind-"Magnolia", another masterpiece released by director Paul Thomas Anderson after the highly acclaimed "Boogie Nights". Tom Cruise also dedicated the best performance of his career in this film, winning him the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. If you want to talk about the difference, the most notable thing is that there are many surrealist expressions in "Magnolia", but this film is a real realistic line. This is a story with multiple clues. Just by looking at the director methodically linking this complicated story together, you can see his profound skill. However, people who have seen his previous screenwriter's work "Million Baby" should not have the slightest surprise, because the shock and thinking brought by "Crash" is more than the pain of hitting people's hearts in "Million Baby" Get up, there is nothing worse than it is. The story takes place in Los Angeles, a large city of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural gatherings. Ryan, a middle-aged patrolman, I can see the anxiety and helplessness on his face. He moaned helplessly late at night because his father's illness was not properly treated, because the black secretary's rude rejection time and time again. All this made me feel sympathy and pity in my heart. But these subtle feelings were immediately obliterated by the ensuing scene: Ryan stopped a car driven by a black couple while patrolling at night, and forcibly searched the lady for unwarranted reasons, when his hand was in As she stroked her body up and down, when the eyes of the lady and her cowardly husband were filled with tears, my mood was already withdrawn from shock and turned to anger. From the puzzled and shocked eyes of a young colleague Hansen who witnessed what he did at the time, I read the same message: The policeman in front of him has already been due to his misdeeds. We are instinctively drawn to the side of the wicked. This is inevitable, even the innocent look in his eyes when facing his father is of no avail. The righteousness of Ling Ran when Hansen appeared on the stage has given us a great impression. His request for transfer because of this matter strengthened our view. This is the image of the righteous policeman in our hearts. It is the embodiment of true goodwill. Before leaving, Ryan held Hansen's hand and said: "Wait until you work for a few more years! Do you think you know who you are? You don't know." I didn't think so, Hansen also didn't. Just a threatening word. At the time I really thought that it was just a threat. The lives of the black couples who were violated had great differences. The wife could not bear the desperate cowardice of the husband as a well-known director at that moment, and the husband suffered a huge blow to his dignity because of this incident. The most serious dignity of a man, which makes him feel almost collapsed. All conflicts are an opportunity for conflicts to erupt. It is not difficult to understand why the film is called "crash". The English name crash should mean collision or crash. There is a lingo here. When the contradictions in life accumulate and cannot be concealed, they will be vented freely through seemingly accidental conflicts. A pair of black thieves are full of benevolence and morality all day long, but they do all the work of robbers. The object they were targeting this time turned out to be their own compatriot, a black man. Unfortunately, the black man was depressed, his self-esteem was greatly hit, and he was immersed in boundless pain. Yes, he is the director. When the pain accumulated in the heart couldn't be removed, the two thieves came to rob. This allowed him to find a reason for his madness. He felt angry. He wanted to break out and break through all cowardice and shame. His abnormal behavior frightened the thief and made the police present feel threatened. Fortunately, the calm Hansen rushed to the scene in time. Only he understood the cause and effect of the incident, the impulsive emotions of the black director. Controlling the scene means saving a life. The black director has not completely eliminated the weakness of his incompetence. He kept repeating with tears: "What the hell do you want me to do?" But Hansen has been faintly proud of successfully handling this matter because he felt it. The great responsibility borne by oneself. More importantly, he is a good policeman compared to Ryan! Ryan discovered a car accident while patrolling, and the owner was dying and the car was on the verge of an explosion. He got into the car desperately to rescue the injured owner. But when the car owner saw his face, he resisted desperately in horror: "Why are you, I don't want you?!" The car owner was forcibly searched by him. The wife of the black director! At this time, Ryan’s reaction was beyond my expectation. The police, who had been subjectively defined as a bad person by me, desperately pulled her out of the car at the moment of the explosion. He was shocked by the roar of the explosion. She was panicked and hugged her tightly. The black wife who was being helped by others turned her head to look at Ryan, her eyes full of complicated emotions: whether she was grateful or a little confused. At that moment, I felt the same way. Why is it that the contrast between him before and after made me feel at a loss, as if the truth I just identified was overturned by a very reasonable argument. However, this is just the beginning. Hansen, returning home from work, picked up a black man hitchhiking on the side of the road-one of the two black thieves who robbed him. Of course Hansen didn't know this. The black man was grateful for his enthusiasm, but he didn't expect Hansen who was offended by joking. Hansen pulled out his pistol as a warning. There was a muffled noise in the car. Although I neither want to see that this is true, it just happened. Hansen couldn't believe what he had just done. The black man who was killed by him was not holding a gun, but just a small sculpture. He was incoherent in a panic, and a moment later threw the body out of the car and burned the car. As everyone knows, my heart is also violently tossing here, this is simply a kind of subversion. Is this the upright Hansen? Was it the Hansen who asked for transfer in the face of Ryan's scandal? Is it the Hansen who is calm and not afraid of danger? Are the weaknesses of human nature without exception, infinitely magnified in the face of extreme fear and difficulty, and become so filthy and filthy? If Ryan’s contrast only makes me at a loss, Hansen’s actions have completely lost me. What is right, what can be good, and what is human nature? Everyone in this story is changing the roles of good and evil without exception. The straightforward detective made a false testimony because he wanted to know the whereabouts of his missing brother, but when he finally found his brother, he was just a corpse on the side of the road, the thief who was killed by Hansen! The desolate shop owner caused his only shop to be looted because of his negligence. Desperate, he picked up a pistol and went to find something completely unrelated to the matter just because the locksmith Daniel, who had quarreled with him, had revenge. Jane, the wife of the prominent district attorney, has always hated blacks. After she accidentally fell down the stairs, she discovered that her 20-year friend was only having fun, and the only person who stayed with her to take care of her was the black nanny she had always ignored. The roles are constantly changing, the heart is constantly swaying from side to side, and the doubts are expanding infinitely. Isn’t there something that will not change? I know no one Can do good or evil, but in between, there is no belief that will make me feel balanced? Late at night, the locksmith Daniel came to the little girl's room. There was no one on the daughter's bed, so Daniel pulled the sheets and looked under the bed, looking at him with pure eyes. "How are you?" "Okay" "Are you scared by something? There are no monsters in the closet. I hate monsters" "I heard gunshots..." "Okay, do you know? When I was five years old , The fairy flew to my room. He gave me an invisibility cloak that bullets could not penetrate it. The fairy told me that you would pass this cloak to your daughter when she was 5 years old. Now, I will take it Put it on for you! Do you want it?" The daughter nodded. Daniel solemnly put the "invisibility cloak" on his daughter. "Now you don't have to be afraid of anything!" The daughter kissed her father and fell asleep peacefully. The smile on his face is like an angel. The next day, the owner of the down-and-out shop found Daniel's house, holding a gun in his hand, and the flames of desperate and crazy revenge came out of his eyes. He pointed the gun at the panicked Daniel, but Daniel yelled to prevent the little daughter from coming out of the room. The little girl standing at the door looked at what was happening in front of her, and said in horror: Oh my God, Dad didn't wear an invisibility cloak. Then, desperately rushed out the door. The moment she pounced on Dad, the gunshot rang. It made me feel that my heart vibrated fiercely. There have been many gunshots that I found unacceptable, the gunshot that Neil committed suicide in "Death Poetry Society", the gunshot that Shama wounded the policeman in "Dancer in the Dark", in this film The gunshot that Hansen missed the black man. Because I know what the gunshot means immediately, although I desperately don't want it to happen, but the length of death that comes immediately suffocates me every time. At this moment, I hold my breath, waiting for the next moment of suffocation. Daniel was crazy, he roared in pain. His wife is desperate for life. Facing the sudden scene before him, the owner of the shop was dumbfounded and did not know what to do. The corners of his mouth were shaking, but he could not speak. "It's okay, Dad. I will protect you." At this moment, the mumbling words of the little daughter appeared like a miracle, and Daniel eagerly opened her daughter's clothes, but he was unscathed. I didn't wait for the moment to suffocate me, but waited for a sentence that made my eyes burst into tears. "This cloak is really good!" said the daughter, lying on his father's shoulder. I cried irresistibly, completely unable to stop it. I remember that when the whole audience saw the scene where the little daughter was safe and sound, there was a laughter of kindness and surprise, but in the dark my tears filled my eyes and blurred the screen. screen. This seems to be the characteristic of a man, no matter what time I can't let myself cry, the tears I want to shed have to be swallowed back into my stomach. "This cloak is really good!" The child's innocent and innocent words destroyed my persistence without a trace. The little girl was holy like an angel, even in front of the black hole of the gun. It doesn't matter whether he knows that his bullet is not real or not, it doesn't matter anymore. At this moment, the shop owner slowly told his daughter what happened today, and his face was filled with a smile of satisfaction and yearning. "Do you know? The moment she came alive, I suddenly realized. She is my angel!" There was no ripple in my heart. It seems that everyone is struggling in this movie, struggling for their inner unspoken rules, struggling for their vacillation, struggling for their own loss. But at this moment I was surprisingly sober. The little girl is indeed an angel, an angel to all of us. She will always stand in everyone's heart, allowing those who dream of extreme life to return to the balance of humanity after experiencing setbacks and hardships.
