The reason why I still like this movie is that he not only told the difficulties of the police in doing things in society, but also added many blockbuster elements, including exaggerated scenes, martial arts action design, etc. For me, this film It's a bit like the commercialized "Lord Polly" (my favorite Taiwanese TV series), and because there are some similarities in the plot, I really want to write the experience of this movie, on the one hand, I really feel that this movie The movie was well done, but on the other hand, I would like to recommend my favorite Taiwanese drama "Master Polly" again.
The reason why this movie impressed me is that his plot setting is somewhat similar to some of the scenes in "Lord Polly", so this movie viewing experience will directly quote some of my experiences in "Lord Polly". "The idea obtained in the play is explained. If you have seen that TV series, then you should understand better why this movie reminds me of my favorite Taiwan drama. If you haven't watched it, it doesn't matter. The movie is worth watching on a weekend when you want to see a good action movie.
The protagonist of "Veteran" is a policeman who is rampant and full of justice and energy played by Huang Zhengmin. As far as this role is concerned, he directly reminds me of Liu Hanqiang played by Lan Zhenglong. Both of them are equally willing to work hard for the truth of the matter, even for the sake of Digging for the truth will spill over many people, but the righteous force in their hearts is that they can't let go of those who really do bad things so easily.
However, the length of a movie is really not enough to go into detail about the real difficulties that many police officers will encounter. In this film, it is only taken lightly, including the chaebols who gave money to victims in order to cover up the truth, and even sent money to The policeman's wife just wanted Huang Zhengmin to stop investigating the truth. This is actually just a very "soft" method. In the drama "Lord Polly", it is more true that many police officers are always threatened with their lives when investigating cases, sometimes not only the police themselves, but also the police. Many death warnings were given to the family members and relatives and friends around the police.
In addition, the movie also mentions the grievances of many police officers who always bind their hands and feet when investigating cases, especially for those police officers who are full of justice. Does the so-called justice really exist when the existence of the
In fact, there is not much mention in this movie. After all, the length of the movie is not enough to talk about such serious details, especially when commercial movies like this usually have a good ending at the end, to talk about such issues It’s even more of a fantasy, but even if it was only lightly clicked in this movie, the ripples reminded me of “Lord Boris” which I haven’t seen for a long time.
What we cannot deny is that in the real world, money can buy almost everything, including "justice" and "truth".
And I assume that "justice" and "truth" can already be said to be the most important things in the world, so have we given them the corresponding respect for the people's nanny who protects justice and the truth?
Sadly, I've never felt that the answer to this question is no; no, we've never had enough respect for those who guard important things.
Therefore, whether this movie or "Lord Polly" is about the difficulties of the police, in the end, those who hold the money and power may not be the real culprits, but those of us who are guarded because of lack of respect. , Because they are not given enough rights, they have to bow to money for their dignity and life.
However, I fully agree that this issue is a double-edged sword. It is indeed extremely difficult to find that balance. Giving too much power can also lead to irreversible situations, and lack of respect can also lead to the weakness of the police; however, I think this Still a question worth thinking about.
In "Lord Polly", there is a scene that left a deep impression on me. It is about the news that "the police were not trained enough and became a character who was beaten by the underworld", and this scene is a bit different from a certain part of the film. Similarly, in "Spicy Detective", Huang Zhengmin plays a very neat policeman, but he is often made difficult by the superior for "excessive self-defense" injuring the suspect.
In fact, the settings of these two episodes are slightly different, but they are fundamentally similar. On the one hand, this society is accustomed to looking at people embarrassingly. When the media cannot help consolidate people's hearts, people will always be in a rut. A state of panic and discord; when we often criticize the current situation of a society or a country through the news, we should perhaps take a moment to think about whether the media reports are true? Are they just making exaggerated reports to inflame the hearts of the people? As far as this movie is concerned, Huang Zhengmin actually often beats the suspect in the first part of the movie, and it is very interesting that my thinking is whether the policeman will be too exaggerated and cynical. It can be seen that when such a picture is put on the news, That cop probably won't escape being penalized for damaging the image of the police. And in the latter part of the movie, because Huang Zhengmin was repeatedly warned not to beat the suspect like this, in the last chase scene with the most dramatic tension, Huang Zhengmin was first on the beaten side, and my thoughts at this time were: It turns out that this policeman is not as strong and durable as I thought! So this goes back to the plot in "Lord Boris" I mentioned above. In any case, in today's society, the police are always the target of the news media, and they have been in such an environment for a long time. , my judgment was also affected by it, so no one but the person involved knew the truth.
After being beaten up, Huang Zhengmin officially started to hunt down the criminals by attacking the police as a justifiable reason for self-defense. At this time, the truth of the matter is complete, but unfortunately modern people do not have much patience to read too long text, so news reports usually report in a direction that can attract people, and even the often said "headline kills" is also correct. It is so. Taking this movie as an example, it took about ten minutes from Huang Zhengmin's violent beating to his official arrest of the prisoner, and no matter whether the news media uses any minute of these ten minutes as a news report, it is more gimmicky than a full ten-minute film. When this public has become accustomed to watching breaking news, why the truth is usually not the point.
I have talked a lot, but in fact, these are not the themes of this movie. Most of them are my thoughts after watching "Lord Polly", so you shouldn't have too much expectations when watching this movie. , he is an action film that I think has a good plot and a stable rhythm. Regarding many details, I am too optimistic when comparing the lines, including the ending, but overall it is a film that grasps the emotions of the audience. The movie, sometimes slow and tight at the same time, is an action movie without a cold scene to me, coupled with Huang Zhengmin's undeniably good acting skills, I recommend you choose when you want to watch a movie that is not mind-consuming and has some plot. Check out this movie.
