Dark forest

The male protagonist muttered to himself in the cafe restroom, as if walking into the primeval forest. I couldn't help thinking of the dark forest theory. It was so good that I was shot in the back unconsciously. From the moment the hero walks to the door and sees the truck, the feature film begins, with inner suspicion and suspenseful sound effects, this section is destined to become a classic.

Good and evil

The story of the truck helping the school bus is very interesting. The truck driver may be warm-hearted at ordinary times, or he may just love each other with his family. But when he is aggressive towards the male protagonist, we may only think that he is evil or bad. The so-called criteria for judging good and evil are only established by the masses and the media based on the only information at hand. There are numerous examples of this on the Internet, just to name a typical one: the Chongqing bus crashing accident on October 28, 2018. On the day of the accident, only a few seconds of video made the female driver of the red car mistaken for the tragedy caused by the retrograde. The masses and media on the Internet almost exclusively identified her as the culprit. The overwhelming verbal violence can be imagined. After the truth became clear, he took off his collective dementia and found that the word "apology" had become extremely cheap.

Meet on a narrow road

After the male protagonist closed his eyes and rested, he went on the road again, unexpectedly facing the confrontation of the truck. Just like two cowboys ready to go in a western movie, you are a little closer to me and I am a little farther away from you, keeping the same distance at all times. Until the truck driver reversed the car and drove the old couple out of the third party, this was an obvious provocation! Ask for a one-on-one duel! Amidst the roar of a screaming truck engine, the hero finally awakened! Scan the foreshadowing of the radio station and the forbearance of his wife's phone calls! Fasten your seat belt! Take the battle book! The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road! Straight guys can see inexplicable bird muscles!

Cold War in Love

Although the truck driver is like the kind of person who wants to ruin you and cause you to die because of trivialities or unnecessarily guilt in life, this is not the point. The point is his method: when the car dissipates too much heat and smokes, the truck does not accelerate. Chasing, it's just that it's not hurried or slow, and it's step by step. This trick is absolutely perfect! Gives hope and despair. A proper psychological warfare will consume patience and increase anxiety for the male protagonist, just like the one who uses cold violence against you in a relationship, giving you candy with the left hand and slap with the right hand, slow Slowly grinding you, the most painful mode of interpersonal communication is this. Both genders, family, workplace, etc. can be seen.

Textbook style

The heart of wanting to watch this film is estimated to be more than ten years, and I first learned about it in the Spielberg project in the tenth screening room of CCTV. In the process of watching the movie as I wished, the chase scene of more than 20 minutes before entering the cafe, I only felt procrastinated and lengthy. Fortunately, I understand that comments that do not talk about the work in the background are hooliganism. I scribbled the pictures one by one, all of which are textbook-like lens language. In the age of internet celebrities where everyone has a mobile phone to shoot, if you learn to play with the lens language, you can become a short video expert even with a simple subject.

Open ending

When the truck fell off the cliff, the door was wide open. Even if there is blood on the steering wheel, the driver's life or death is uncertain. This is actually an open ending. On this point, if the director wants to make a sequel after a few decades, there is nothing wrong with it. Then put the battlefield into the universe, and have a battleship chase without a reason, from one interstellar to another.
