it's not far from us

What were you doing when you were a teenager?
Sitting in the classroom and studying quietly, or lying under the covers chasing your favorite TV series?

A long time ago, I felt that the world was what I saw, peaceful and peaceful, harmless to humans and animals.
Until something broke my original cognition and pushed me into a larger and more complex world that I could not have imagined before.

It seems like I've calmly accepted it after some time has passed.
I don't even think it's nothing, everything is possible, what exists is reasonable, what I see is real, although it may be a mirror, but more importantly, the mirror is the surface of the truth, and I finally came into contact with this surface.

Some people say that the truth is the bottom of the abyss, you know it exists, but you can never have the perspective of God.

"Operation Mekong" seems to remind me of all this, but I didn't accept it as if nothing happened, but just sealed it up, tried to cover it up, and pretended to be indifferent and alienated on the surface, like an undercurrent surging under the sea. , before it was perceived, it was calm.

"Operation Mekong" is undoubtedly the best domestic film, with both box office and reputation. The action scenes make the blood boil, and the character depiction of the iron man's tenderness is also in place, but what strikes me the most is the depiction of the environment of the Golden Triangle - complex geography, various ethnic groups, and deformed forces. Here, it seems that all evils It all happens carelessly, the lines between life and death are blurred, and survival is the only thing that matters.

When I watched "Xianjian III" before, I couldn't understand why a scoundrel like Sedum was the savior who saved the common people, whether it was because of his previous life status, or because of his extraordinary talent, or just the so-called "protagonist halo". Logically speaking, he is just a gangster from the bottom of the society, and he likes to do some stealing activities, which really does not meet the world standard of a hero. However, on the other hand, he understands the sufferings of the world better than others, understands more about survival than everything else, and knows the existence of things beyond existence, and why you are desperate for anything.

In fact, to be honest, a hero cannot be defined, there is no uniform standard for it, and even a hero may not be remembered, he will be slowly forgotten, slowly disappear, and slowly only exist in certain people heart. And the hero in some people's heart may be the scum in the eyes of others.

Going back to the film, I was impressed by some scenes.
Some local residents in Chashan who did not want to plant poppies and had their arms chopped off were physically disabled but smiled relievedly and greeted people happily.
Teenagers who still don't know what life and death are, are instigated by drug lords to play the "brave" game - taking turns to swallow guns and gamble with their lives.

I know there are all kinds of cruelty in this world, but I always think that it is too far away from us, so far away that maybe I can't experience it in my life. These seemingly appalling things are staged in turns in the well-known and unknown corners of the world, darkness, sinking, chaos, and sin.

It got me thinking that every time we watch the news, we just see it as news.
The writer Ye Fu said: "That's because we are no longer the majority of people, and have largely been spared from humiliation." Perhaps we should give ourselves a wake-up call. In this world, there are indeed people living the life they want. But there are also not a few people who do not even have the right to pursue their own life.

The children raised by Nuoka did not understand the thickness and weight of life at all, and they became weapons of destruction without hesitation. They are called to be brave, to be fearless "heroes" who know what they are doing, but they don't know what it means to lose their lives.

On the other hand, the way the Chinese police treat the children who become weapons of lethality in the film moved me quite a bit.
When arresting the criminals, Guo Xu saw the child walking towards him. He hesitated for a while, but he was shot by a machine gun, and then Gao Gang shot the child. However, when Yu Bureau told Gao Gang about the situation of the wounded, he emphasized that "the child is out of danger, but Guo Xu's legs can't be saved." From this, it can be seen that Gao Gang has a little sympathy for these children, and he was still alive when he shot. Pay attention to the location, no one shot kills. In addition, in the final arrest of Nuoka, he signaled to his teammates not to hurt the children as much as possible.

A friend who went to watch together asked me: "Why do you have to catch them alive? Wouldn't it increase the difficulty and cause more casualties?" At that time, my answer was that the original purpose of Operation Mekong was to clear the grievances of the 13 Chinese sailors. , Therefore, witnesses are a very important part, which is related to the fact that legal judgments must be based on evidence. This world needs an explanation. And this explanation must be clear and thorough, and no filth should be tolerated.

I accidentally read a sentence that day, every bit of justice is bought with blood. When I saw this sentence before and it was true, I thought it was politically correct, but I didn't feel too much, but then I thought of the celebrity drug abuse case. The fans said that they hoped to take it lightly, but if you think about it, if you are A drug cop, what do you think.

All things in this world are different in the eyes of different people.

This reminds me of a problem that I would not encounter under normal circumstances. The duty of a doctor is to save lives and heal the wounded. However, when a heinous villain lies dying in front of you, as a doctor, do you choose to save or save lives? do not save.
The choices that people make when faced with difficult situations (not only in reality, but also in morals) truly reflect who they are.

Finally, I want to say that the Chinese-style heroism of this film is quite serious. For example, in the end, two people fought with a bunch of people, such as Fang Xinwu's final collision. I don't think there is anything wrong with this, the heroism in American blockbusters does exist, and we don't need to shy away from it. Such things as ideals, beliefs, and missions, as long as someone believes in them, will not go away.

The world needs heroes, but I hope this world will no longer need heroes one day in the future.

There are still some shortcomings in this film. For example, the punishment for hanging a man from a helicopter is a special effect of 50 cents. The closing remarks feel that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television forced Amway to go up. Say more.

In fact, there is still a question left at the end of the film, who is the boss who instigated Nuoka behind the scenes?
Fifteen years ago, he left Khun Sa, and now Nuoka has been arrested again, and who will be next?
As long as the land remains chaotic, such days will not pass. And the people who grow savagely in it must also live hard and hard.

This is the state of the world.

We take it for granted that we expect and believe in good things, but sin, inherently and profitably, go hand in hand.

    The full name is Golden Triangle Tear Devils, the rhythm is too chaotic, and the written lines are strong in the supervision of the Ministry of Public Security. It was completely made by a Hong Kong director into a special feature film of the National Day Gift Golden Shield, which is blind.

    A good frontier crime movie. Remarkable. What you think is true is actually a bit exaggerated, and what you think is false is actually more true. The frontier drug dealers have been taking drugs since childhood. Seven or eight-year-old children dare to gamble for their lives. The roaring dog is undoubtedly the number one elite of the anti-drug team. Its sacrifice is heart-wrenching. There is also a corrupt Thai official behind the oriole, the old Zhang Lao Peng in the acting competition! My favorite is the sand boss! This figure, I may not be able to practice it for ten years, it is prosperous and in a trance
