I will first come to the conclusion that this is a very good movie in general, but not full marks, because the three views in the ending part are really difficult for me to accept...
I really like the words of Huang Sir in the movie Infernal Affairs: "Murder and set fire to the golden belt, build bridges and pave roads without corpses. This world should not be like this!"
There is a contradiction in the film.
Contradiction 1 The police are the messengers of justice, but the handling of the case by "Murphys" (haha The Matrix is too impressive) (car theft investigation) led to Jimmy's subordinates misjudging the situation, and then gave Jimmy the wrong guidance and led to Dave being arrested. Doubt; there are also the alarm recordings in the back of the movie, "I thought you heard it" and "I thought you heard it too", this kind of mistake also indirectly caused Dave to miss the hope of surviving
Contradiction 2 Jimmy is the "worst", but also the most "popular", taking the lead in doing bad things (cement painting), etc., killing people, doing all the bad things, but he can marry his unattainable first wife and beautiful and capable second wife and two Girl, but it's actually fortunate because Jimmy also has retribution (the eldest daughter is gone). What ruined my views the most was Annabeth's last dialogue, because I don't understand English, so I don't know if the translation is correct... I even went to see translations on other platforms, and it really said that. . . It gives people a robber concept of who is stronger and who is more rational, so I want to ask, why do you want to fight against fascism in this case?
I still think the blood debt must be paid in blood! Murder must be subjugated! I always say that the ending of domestic films is too ideal, but only the ending of this American movie I want to say: justice really needs to be done.
Paradox 3 is about Dave at the end, and Dave is the character I want to talk about the most.
Because I was brought in.
In real life, I am a Luther like Dave, with different childhood shadows and the same microcosm of life. Everyone sees Dave's pity, because of the butterfly effect, as Jimmy said, as long as "get in the car and enter the cellar", "the whole trajectory of life will change." Yes, many people have come to the conclusion over the years - Character and environment determine fate
People like me and Dave just seem to be less and less understood and more annoying. But also try to make changes, try to redeem yourself. (Dave wants to start over with his wife and kids after saving the kids) But is it too late? Does anyone else give it a chance? It will be like in the movie, maybe they kill you, and the police don't know about it and don't arrest you. They'll feel a little guilty for a while, be comforted by their wives, go to bed, wake up for each day, and then who am I, I'm just (Dave) Luther
Writing at the end, although I am traumatized like Dave, my life has not come to an end, I have better family and friends than Dave, I will try my best to get out of the shadows, instead of dying in misunderstandings, dying in Jimmy's gun
