This is a Brazilian movie. The background of the story takes place in Rio de Janeiro, a passionate, glamorous, and at the same time portrayed as a crime-ridden city. There is a well-known Brazilian movie "City of God", which is about the gang fights in Rio's slums, and this "Elite Force" takes a different perspective, from the aspect of the police that symbolizes order, to show the problem of rampant crime in Rio. Complicated and difficult, especially the growth experience of the two young police officers in the film is even more embarrassing. Captain Nas Simonto of Rio's police elite BOPE and two police rookies Neto, Matils is the protagonist of the film, the captain is the master of the team, but tired of the life of fighting and killing, want to learn from Find a successor from the two rookies so that you can go home and enjoy your wife. From my perspective, the real protagonist of this film should be the rookie Matils. His experience has completely passed the trajectory of an idealist dream shattered and based on realism in the shattered new life.
Nassimon belongs to the sturdy cool man in the film, and belongs to the character who has seen everything through. He goes deep into the slums to punish the thugs in the way of thugs. Think of a scene like this, a person is caught by two people, put on a plastic bag to suffocate him, and then ask, "Where is XX?", see clearly, this is not the gang looking for enemies again, but the special police interrogating the prisoner. The cruelty of this film is that it creates an atmosphere that makes you feel that this way is "normal". It is a place where everyone may suddenly take out their guns to play their lives. It is a place that is unreasonable, so Nassim was trained to become an efficient violent machine. In a violent city, he used more violent methods to make people fearful, as a way to deter criminals, and the use of violence to control violence is shown to the extreme here.
On the other hand, the two rookies, as the captain's monologue said, they had just graduated from the police academy, with idealistic enthusiasm, and at the same time began the process of being dispelled by their ideals. Netuxian seems to be more connected with Nassimeon. His ideal is to become a police officer who can really go into battle with a real sword, not a reserve soldier who repairs locomotives. And Matils' ideals are even more worth mentioning. As a policeman, he took time to conceal his career, went to university to study law, and as a policeman in a capital of violence, he was obviously full of confidence in the power of reason at first. However, he had a mental "schizophrenia" when interacting with classmates. On the one hand, as a policeman, he understood the cruel reality and knew that violence was compelling; on the other hand, in school, he learned the power of reason. Facing the accusation of police violence from his wealthy classmates, he naturally wanted to defend the police. The details that need to be paid attention to are that Matils is black, people in the slums are mostly colored people, and the rich children in the university are almost all white. This also implies racial problems left by history. The strong gap between the rich and the poor under unequal opportunities is often an important reason for rampant crime. On the one hand, Matils carried the rationality that Nassim also admired. He introspectively recognized the limitations of violence, and at the same time, without losing a sense of justice, faced the scenes of judicial corruption in the police sector that he had witnessed (another rampant crime). Incentives), he also had doubts about the protection and protection of the law, and was a little shaken in the way of safeguarding the law, until the death of Netu gave him the greatest impetus.
Before Neto's death, Matils wore glasses and appeared polite in class. He seemed a little bit resistant to violence, even if it was legal violence. However, when his friend Netu was killed by the gangsters, he was like a furious lion, avenging him like a mad, and treated the sinner in his eyes even more violently. At this time, he had lived with him "facing south". The rich students studying law in the "big house" draw a line. When he beat a student who was responsible for the death of Netu in his eyes, the violence that broke out was surprising. He seemed to be making up lessons. After the death of his friend, he learned almost overnight what the elite police training camp could teach for a few months. He was cold and without mercy. A young man from the bottom who once believed in rational laws, completed it like this. Transformed and became the representative of a new generation of special police. He took over Nassimeon’s mantle. From Nassimeon’s later boredom, it can be seen that this work was not easy. Matils’ idealism was shattered with the tragic death of his friends. In the reality of violence, the violent version of Matils is being reborn, which seems to be a route that must be followed in a specific environment.
What should we do to deal with rampant crime? Many times, we know that this is just the appearance. There are a series of reasons behind it, such as corruption, the gap between the rich and the poor, and social transformation. However, these internal factors are often too complicated and it is too hopeless to solve them. Therefore, not the cause of the crime, but the crime case, the individual handling is more "simple" and easier to excite people. Therefore, on the one hand, we condemn torture to extract a confession, on the other hand, we are addicted to the harsh violence against criminals. I believe that despite the many difficulties and the powerful forces faced, exploring and solving the internal causes of rampant crime is the fundamental way. Simply using violence to control violence can only create an endless cycle, and crime cannot come from this world. Extinct, but at least, we can start from the system and social causes as much as possible to improve some too bad conditions. Matils' inquiry failed. He plunged into the seemingly endless cycle of violence with anger. The end of the film made people feel a little pessimistic. After the violence, where should Matils go? This question may have to be answered by more idealistic recruits.
