1. How good people become bad
Try to make things clear: even the search warrants have to be bought by their own people (the police), and it is too naive to simply distinguish between 'good people' and 'bad people'. Did you know that every police officer in the film starts with a bloody zeal. Remember the story the police boss told at the meeting? The criminal easily escaped punishment, and the police even said 'I will deal with him myself later'. The society cannot use the law to punish crimes due to them, so do you still hope that the police will be just? Do you know what Jake will end up being? He made friends with those black people, wouldn't he betray them later? Jake is another Alonzo. Maybe not, he's not as smart as Alonzo. Alonzo said: In the cases I have done, the judges have sentenced a total of 15,000 years in prison. Jake said: That tm is street justice. Alonzo said: What's wrong with street justice, mainly because there are no police. I have a total of five men, including you only six. Let the black eat the black. wry smile.
The two stories
1. Alonzo + Roger Gang boss Roger and drug police chief Alonzo have been friends for ten years. What this friendship is built on is not mentioned in the film. Just thinking about Alonzo's style of doing things shows that Roger can live in a house without bodyguards, and the floor can be repaired by the government. This kind of whitewashing and safety Guaranteed no one but Alonzo can give it. He deliberately raised him, just waiting ten years to give him a shot. Is it really? In such a big LA, there are only a few anti-drug police officers. On the contrary, all kinds of gangs are crowded, and the anti-narcotics sheriff has to rely on the maintenance of drug dealers as eyeliners. This is a real jungle. Alonzo said: If you want to catch bad guys, you can't be a dog, you have to be a wolf. But the wolf is useless, the wolf is also part of the jungle. There is no permanent winner in the jungle. He wants to win, he wants to win alone. So in the end he died.
Roger tells a story, and he clearly has a crush on Jake. He told a story about a snail, simply saying that the person in the story was himself, and the snail was the person he had abused. In the beginning, that snail was too tm to bully, fuck him; later, that snail was too tm tm, fuck him. Two powerful men are sitting together, unwittingly showing strength. The story that Roger told the rookie Jake was probably his idiom when he met a newcomer, but now he has lost his power, so he has lost the prestige he used to have. This isn't the weirdest thing, but here's the weird thing: Jake doesn't have a problem with Alonzo being friends with the mob boss, and he drinks the wine that mob boss Roger gives him with great peace of mind, even to the point that he knows he's played football This thing is very good. He's an idealess rookie, and even his idea of what he thinks is great is naive: the rule is "control your crying and laughing"? ! Alonzo didn't understand, so he didn't have to control his emotions. Others need to control their emotions in front of him, just like a gang boss. I want to say that what he said is right: you can't change anything now. Only when you become a boss with a heart can you start to change the world. Obviously, Alonzo forgot his original intention. When he said that he used all means to climb to the top, he probably meant to become Batman.
Batman doesn't belong in the jungle, he has high tech.
2. The title of Alonzo + Jake Jake wakes up and stops the alarm clock, and finds that his wife who is worth 10 points has woken up. When the phone rang, the wife answered, and the two sentences made me smile again and again. Jake was confused, probably wondering who this tm was. It turned out to be the boss, and he immediately confessed. Alonzo asks Jake why on earth do you want to be a drug cop. Jake said for the country, for the people. Alonzo smiled and asked him why. At this time, Jake also laughed and said that he was living in a big House in order to get promoted and make a fortune. So Jake later said: I will do whatever you say. In the end, Alonzo was killed.
The funny thing is, why did Jake decide to fuck Alonzo? Not after he was forced to kill Roger with him, but Alonzo left him alone in the Hillside gang, beaten up, and nearly got raped and then killed. Look at the name "Shanbian Gang", it's really loud enough. This gang is destined to not last long, and the boss of the gang who can survive for a long time must maintain a good relationship with the drug sheriff. How can you want to kill the police as soon as you come up? (laugh)
Here comes the question: You say that your sense of justice is very strong, is it entraining selfish desires? Why did you go home at the end of the film? Shouldn't he go to the police station? Did the stolen money go directly to your home? Will you have a urine test tomorrow? He's a poor guy, a character tag that Ethan Hawke's characters have. He is weak and believes in some plausible truths. When I got home, the sound of the news outside the film was exactly what Alonzo said when he threatened Jake with the gangsters, but the protagonist became himself. Funny two people, ridiculous sense of justice.
Jake never wanted to do something big, he just willingly obeyed his so-called justice, he just wanted to live a good life. He will regret for a moment that he didn't take the money he dug up. He opposes those who try to control himself, and he cynically embraces his own freedom and justice. It's like being gentle with that little boy. He hid the little boy quietly in the closet, trying to keep him out of harm's way. Yet it was all in vain.
What he was fighting against was not Alonzo who violated justice, but Alonzo who was trying to dirty his heart. That's fine, that's the Ethan Hawke who loves dawn, dusk, and midnight.
