If justice is achieved through violence, its legitimacy will be greatly reduced. And justice that has lost its legitimacy cannot be called justice, at best it is just a kind of violent crushing.
Infernal Affairs has a strong sense of substitution, and at the same time, Face off is also thought of. All are excellent movies.
The death of Xiao Lizi has some absurd elements in it. The film's tragic ending is doomed to a vengeful nihilism of the logic behind it. It interprets a metaphysical thinking that everyone is unwilling to be who they are now, or that the "what I am" only exists in the world of ideas. I fantasize about returning to some kind of original good intentions, or to reach some kind of intellectual compromise, and then complete the search for the original me. Xiao Lizi realized earlier than others that he should not be a cop. His undercover status made his nerves almost hypersensitive and collapsed, and he needed to rely on tranquilizers to relieve his nervousness. The heroine also lives in her own lies: she is unwilling to admit a certain lie, or she tries her best to modify her real self, so as to keep the false self who lives in reality. Knowing that when she found out that her fiance was also Liar, the truth came out, and everything was nothing but a void. Not even Massachusetts' highest honor can comfort a dead soul.
Is there justice in this world? Justice can only be sent to a few shots?
