The entanglement of personal rights and national interests

It's a movie full of contradictions that doesn't seem to have the right answer. As a Swedish agent, the male protagonist, while solving the conspiracy and defending the interests of the country, created another scandal, deprived others of their lives, but escaped the punishment of the law by virtue of his special status. Whether or not the well-being of most people has precedence is unclear in a democratic country like Sweden.

Interestingly, the hero of this film is named Hamilton, and the most famous Hamilton in history is probably one of the founding fathers of the United States, the famous Federalist Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton advocated strengthening the power of the federal government and establishing a strong central government, and thus created the first bank of the United States. It can be said that he was a pioneer in defining and defending the national interests of the United States. It is also appropriate to name the film after him. In the end, the historical Hamilton died in a private fight, and the Hamilton in the movie also left a stain on himself because of his personal relationship, which can be described as the same goal. Personal rights and national interests, which is more important, neither inside or outside the film can give the correct answer, which may be exactly what the director wants to express.

Nordic film exposure is not much, but this Swedish film is amazing enough. The scenery is from Afghanistan to Somalia, from Jordan to Sweden, desert scenery, Middle East style, Nordic scenery, all at a glance. From the plot to the production scale, this film is in no way inferior to any American secret agent film, and some of the subtleties are even better than Mission: Impossible 4.

    20120602hm is a Nordic commercial film of mediocre quality. The plot is completely the same as that of Hollywood's Bourne-style special agent film. It has lost the cool features that the Nordics should have, and has no American-style compact narrative. It's boring to watch. Many coincidental designs are too far-fetched, and the front organs are exhausted but there is no suspense in the end. Fortunately, the melee combat of the protagonist who has been accompanied by his face is also worth watching. Look at Hollywood movies like this.
