"Mint"
Riley originally had a happy family: a loving husband and a lovely daughter. Although life was marginalized due to poverty and no one came to their daughter's birthday party, they still enjoyed ordinary happiness. However, on the day of his daughter's birthday, Riley's husband's colleague made a bad idea to rob the big drug lord with him. Although the husband said that he did not want to participate, he was involved in the incident and died of MP5 shooting along with his daughter. Riley was shot in the head and suffered from mental illness. Riley disappeared for five years after witnessing that the law could not punish this group of unscrupulous lunatics. At this time, the director told the audience from the perspective of the police that in the past five years she became more adept at hiding and fighting, laying the foundation for revenge. Riley, who disappeared, used her own method to bring the direct murderer, the culprit behind the scenes, and the judicial officials who maliciously indulged criminals to justice one by one. Although the vengeance was avenged, Riley was also arrested by the police for homicide and was ready to be tried. At the end of the plot, the police leader with a sense of justice gave Riley the key to open the handcuffs and gave her a choice.
The story ends here, with an open ending. Will she choose to spend her life in prison, commit suicide to find her husband and daughter, or live a new life alone?
I personally think it should be the latter, to live a brand new life. Because for Riley, she is not the incarnation of justice, everything she does is to avenge her husband and daughter, not to hate this corrupt judicial organization. She is just an ordinary mother, and a daughter is a strong mother. For the sake of her daughter and husband, she has been silent for five years. In five years, she has sharpened herself into a human weapon, and step by step has become a nemesis. After the revenge, she can finally relax. Combining the scene of her crying and falling to her daughter's grave in the plot and the scene of moving before the silence, she should choose to live a new life. Maybe she won't get married and have children again, but she will use her weak power to help those around her alone, because Riley is so kind, otherwise she won't save the two children.
The vengeance in the film looks very cool, but in fact, if everyone learns Riley, then social order will no longer exist. Although the film reflects the corruption of judicial organizations, the solution should be like Like the order issued by President Xi, strict investigations and searches, and strive to eliminate all corruption, as many people as possible to solve judicial problems at the same level, although it will reduce efficiency, but can greatly reduce the possibility of misjudgment and missed judgments.
