The best way to introduce the distance is to select a scene from the distance as a fragment, describe it in detail, and then add a moving and unconventional reason. This distant place must be a place that most people have never been to or even heard of. It is remote, remote, beautiful, and lonely, so that this person who has the idea of ​​going to a distant place instantly stands out from the crowd. One of the male protagonists in the movie "HEAT", Neil, the gangster, is so attracted to his partner. In the words of graphic designer Edie Neil: "In Fiji, every year, luminous seaweed floats on the surface, and the whole The city will be lit up." After being touched, the distant and mysterious distance contained in the words made Edie curious and tempted by the man in front of him. On the other hand, Neil is a gangster who is a headache for the police. He is cruel, calm, and resolute. Every time he commits a crime, he is neat and tidy, making it difficult for the police to catch them. Here we are going to talk about Vincent, another male protagonist of the film. Vincent is the sheriff of the Los Angeles Police Department's major crime team. He has two failed marriages and a third marriage that is facing crisis. He is busy with work and is keen to hunt down. Criminals are always unable to take into account his wife's feelings in time; but Vincent is also a very good man. He cares about his stepdaughter, who was unable to pick her up for her birthday as promised, cares about her feelings, coaxes her into happiness; hugs the victim The mother who lost her daughter crying... Another member of the gangster team also had a bad marriage. Every time he robbed the money, he squandered it on gambling. If his wife wanted to leave, he would be punished again. In the end, his wife's derailed lover became the key to Neil's solving the case... Many people talk about this old film, emphasizing the man's pride and agitation, and the gangsters are "villains", flouting the law and robbing money But it didn't hurt lives, and it was transformed into a "heroic" meaning by art; the sheriff was worried, but he still insisted on the law and did not let any gangsters go. But whether it's the sheriff or the gangster, there's one important character the film can't live without: women.

Women absolutely occupy a full role in this film. The sheriff's wife who deliberately cheated because of the sheriff who was busy solving the case, and the graphic designer Edie, who resolutely followed the boss of the gangster and left, was controlled by the police but still did not confess her husband. The gangster's wife, the black girl who helped her ex-prison boyfriend on the right track, but saw on TV that her boyfriend was killed in the police-robber melee again... The gangster Neil said: "We can't have any of you for three seconds in our business. You can't decide who or what to give up." In the end, this sentence was a prophecy, and he finally accepted the punishment. Ernest Hemingway once had a collection of novels "Men Without Women", the content of the novel is not mentioned, the title is very interesting, just like this title, if this is just a simple two-heroes fighting movie, The movie will be distorted, and the whole story will become a duckweed with nothing to rely on, disappearing with the wind, leaving a deep impression on people... The divergence of thinking is very strange. It is Chi Zijian's novel "All the Nights in the World", "The 'I' who lost the magician's husband met all kinds of women who were sad because of men in the long dark night..." "HEAT" The movie is amazing. On the surface, he wrote the story of a group of men, but all the performances of these men on the stage were influenced by the women behind them, as if the group of police detectives and gangsters had become a thread. puppets, and the movie is really about a group of women... gunfights, chases, love, death, all the boom-and-bust elements are reflected in the movie. In the dim light, wonderful and helpless...
