The edge should be translated as razor edge

It’s such a good movie, but it’s not on 8.5+? At first you thought that the elite he was talking about was the elite, and the diaosi was the diaosi. Later, you thought it was talking about the confrontation between humans and beasts. Later, you thought he was talking about trust and betrayal. ; Later, you think he talks about the sublime and the ordinary; later, you find that he talks about the insurmountability of the elite and diaosi. "Don't feel sorry for those who have private jets." "With so much money, it must not be easy." After all, being considerate and tolerant is a matter for rich people. Ordinary people may not have the qualifications for ambition and tolerance. The film presents a very harsh human judgment in terms of friendship building and betrayal. The warmth of mutual rescue and the tragic and strong of fighting bears, after being out of danger, they betrayed easily. It's too heartbreaking. At the end, the male partner's confession makes people cry. At that moment, you feel that the sincerity of ordinary people does not need to be responsible, unless he is going to die. As for the rich, he is noble, responsible, conviction, wise, and savior. Although I don't like such values, I still pay tribute to the idea of ​​the film. In the performance, both male 1 and male 2 performed god-level textbook performances. Hopkins was more stable and able to hold it, Baldwin worked harder. Of course, an elite, a dick, naturally, one is not surprised at all, and one is surprised.

Tell me about the title translation

The edge originally meant edge, edge of danger, edge of despair, etc. Considering the understanding of this edge zone, this film extends from the desperate edge of the natural environment to the dark abyss of human nature. For example, the betrayal of the male lead, and even the intent to kill. It is the abyss of human nature. After the male lead lures the male partner into the trap, he picks up the gun and faces the seriously injured male partner. Or there have been thoughts of shooting or abandoning it, which can also be understood as the edge of human desperation. Of course, the elite finally chose the sublime of humanity, saved the male partner again, and said in the face of the media that they all died to save me.

So translate this edge as razor edge. Perhaps more appropriate, the razor is both dangerous and close. The razor has the most convincing materialization characteristics in terms of showing the complex, dark, sensitive, and perhaps also purifying and bright psychology of men.

The Chinese translation is "Positiveness is not in harmony". On the first level, the male lead and the male partner are in emotional entanglement, and the rivals are not at odds. The male partner premeditated to kill the male lead, and the male lead noticed it on the plane. Afterwards, there is a boating together. After all, he still embarks on the trend of betrayal and repentance. The second level, or a small reflection, is that human behavior and the natural environment. The mutual conflict between humans and brown bears; the most important reflection of inconsistency is of course the class relationship, which can be understood as the class confrontation between the elite and the ordinary class. It can also be simply understood as the relationship between rich people and diaosi. Unable to reconcile. Only at the moment of death, the humanity of confession can say sorry.

When the class solidifies into an iron law. The ascent for ordinary people is almost blocked. The so-called disparity is the destiny between classes.

After the male lead male partner killed the bear, when he was so excited, the male lead said, "I haven't seen anyone, and it really changed my destiny."

Of course, the film tells us with stories, rich people, it's not that simple. On the one hand, wisdom and willpower are not simply the cause, and money is the result; on the other hand, it may also be inverted. The whole is a closed loop. You enjoy the resources of the rich, so you are extraordinary, and because of your excellence, you are more wealthy.

Personally think that the translation is incompatible. Too bluntly explains this vague flexible perception of human nature's good and evil. Inequity is generally the perception of the weak. In the eyes of the strong, the weak are not antagonistic, and perhaps they are not even qualified. Still, "Razor Edge" is more in line with the original intent of the movie text.

Note: "Razor Edge" came out of the song of the same name on Zhao Chuan's 1991 album "I'm Ugly, I'm Very Gentle". "Every morning, in front of the bathroom mirror, I find myself living on the edge of the razor."

    Charles Morse: For all my life, I've have wanted to do something that was, um, that was unequivocal.

    Robert Green: Well, Charlie, I certainly think this qualifies.

    Charles Morse: Or something.

    Stephen: What?

    Charles Morse: Yeah, see, they die of shame. "What did I do wrong? How could I have gotten myself into this?" And so they sit there and they... die. Because they didn't do the one thing that would save their lives.
