is just to commemorate the original movie review that was saved on the desktop last night but could not be opened today after being tortured to death by my software update.
Solving
the title is not a foreshadowing that I'll be mixing the film and HBO's Six Feet Under a few years ago in this article.
Six Feet Under translated into Chinese is similar to "digging three feet in the ground". Because the tombs in Europe and the United States do not have grave heads like the Chinese style, and the tombstones are erected directly on the ground, the depth of the tomb must be doubled.
The above originally revealed the profound ambition of my original film review, but now I am not in the mood to rewrite an equally profound version, so let's take a look.
At first glance, this film must be a Hollywood blockbuster, and in Hollywood blockbusters, French police are out of ten are not good birds: the speculation of Captain Renault (Casablanca); the incompetence of the anonymous Paris police chief (Rush Hour 3); Captain Bezu Fache (The Da Vinci Code)'s paranoia... But it doesn't matter if the Americans stink of the French police. The film's producer and screenwriter, French director Luc Besson, also stepped in to beat the lone hero to death. The protagonist is left to the American father, and the supporting role who shares the spoils with the underworld is left to the senior officials of the French intelligence agency... The French State Administration of Radio, Film and Television should have blocked him, otherwise it would not be enough to reflect the pure manly style of the great director, and the French did not do so. And deeply hurt national feelings. Of course, we know that the French have a very flattering attitude towards film directors, and even the most unbearable young girl rapist has allowed him to run amok in the streets of Paris in daylight for 31 years.
Back on topic. Among the two major Western democracies/immigrant countries, the message released by this film is quite obvious, that democratic countries should have a degree of balance between reasonable tolerance and legal norms. On this balance, the Americans' thinking is very clear: in the United States, the legal principle (in the movie Chain Reaction, the FBI agent said to Paul Shannon played by Morgan Freeman, domestic is not your backyard to play with, that's our territory ) outside the continental United States, it makes sense (see the movie Rendition). And these foreign rationales are all unreasonable and unreasonable, so the image of the United States is annoying in the world. In contrast, this balance point for the French is often very confusing. On the one hand, France tolerates the polygamy system of many African immigrants (as long as it is tolerated by the religion of the original nationality, the French government will not interfere), and on the other hand, France decided not long ago this year to legislate to prohibit Muslim girls from wearing clothes in public schools. Hijab headscarf).
According to this line of thinking, it is not difficult to see that the protagonist of this film has a deeper meaning behind the hero's invincibility, that is, the US CIA intelligence agents do whatever they want abroad (see "Bourne Bourne" series). Linked to reality, the Bush administration's torture of Guantanamo prisoners through the CIA is notorious, and Obama's poor appeal after he took office has attracted a lot of anger.
In the movie, when Bryan flips the power switch, he is used to chivalrous Chinese audiences or thinks that Marco is more than innocent, but who has the right to be the power of life and death at this moment? Batman still wants to spare Joker, because he hopes that the local prosecutor can apply for justice and he can retire. If the legal society is perfect enough, there will be no room for chivalry.
Perhaps Luc Besson, while criticizing the French government's immigration policy and law enforcement efforts, did not forget to take care of the American audience on the other side of the ocean. The two countries that we claim to be the most democratic in the world are only half a catty from each other.
