Being a good person is a wayward

Being a good person is a kind of willfulness. This sentence is the title of an article I saw on the Zhihu Daily app 7 years ago. It probably means why there are people like the male protagonist Richard in life. Knowing that being a good person is likely to be unrequited, or should you insist on being a good person? Probably willful.

When watching this movie, I feel very angry. I always see my shadow in the protagonist. Although the protagonist is much more socialized than me and has his own persistence, he has a great sense of justice. The policeman is proficient and can study the law at night. He likes military shooting very much. He is a natural person to be a good policeman. Unfortunately, in real life, after he left the position of deputy police officer, his security employment experience was not smooth for many times. , With dismissal as the end. Well, in my opinion, he is also a poor man as a security guard.

I remembered the protagonist saying a word, I used to be an FBI policeman as my professional dream, but now I find that you are not going to catch the real criminals in the bombing, instead you keep thinking that Richard is a criminal. , I don’t want to be an FBI policeman anymore.

Although Richard is a seemingly "perfect" suspect, a frustrated white man, a former police background and knowledge of explosives, he was the first person to discover the explosion. The dean of the university said that when he was a security guard, He is a person who likes to express himself. In fact, he is just a kind-hearted security guard with a sense of justice. He is only performing his own functions, even though he can take sick leave that day. As he said, no one wants to be a conscientious security guard, as long as he sees suspicious things. Just run the package. This is probably the restoration of the same scene in the workplace, doing more mistakes and doing less well. Speaking of due diligence, the policemen and reporters in the show may not be called.

Although, after the protagonist discovered that a wiretapping device was installed in his home, he had a big fight with the lawyer, saying that I just can't become you, I am me, I am very angry, but I didn't show it. Why did you choose you as my lawyer, because you are the only one who does not treat me as a 5-year-old child.

In my opinion, at a certain symbolic level, the protagonist and the lawyer are symbols of different stages of life. After all, they must fight back, remain angry, and become strong. This is probably my own life perception during this period of time.

    After the incident, employees who disputed the jurisdiction, news organizations' paranoid pursuit of hot spots and the so-called truth, and even left-right differences and prototype disputes that spread beyond the film. But like the original name chosen for the prototype report, it was an "American nightmare." Richard's story well explains why starting from "Colored Glasses", more "grievances" deserve more attention. Such tragedies are not just black and white, but are superimposed by the system, society and culture. This also makes the execution of the story not only stay on such a simple (but conservative enough) character creation, so some people will be more curious about the perspective of "The Bomber" in the new season (when Cameron Britton was officially announced, the whole The expectation is raised). But Paul Walter Hauser's performance (especially the last half hour) is the key to making it all happen. From "Late Night Show" to "Black Klansman", every character who appears in seconds can be counted, please don't underestimate every "nobody". Great energy and light.

    How to stretch a simple story into a movie, Dongmu did not do it as neatly as Captain Sully here. Editing becomes the enemy of the narrative, as if his trembling hands can be seen behind the screen.

  • Watson Bryant: You know, I actually feel sorry for you guys: when the real bomber does it again, and the country asks, 'where was the FBI?' you're gonna say, 'we were busy getting hair samples from Richard Jewel.'
