Jack's Choice - "Training Day" Film Review

After watching "Training Day", my heart was turbulent, and I felt unhappy. What happened in the day between the two protagonists turned out to be that Alonzo nearly killed Jack. We may never encounter such a plot in our whole life. Simply put, life and death are on the line, and maybe a choice you make inadvertently determines your destiny! So I'm really scared for Jack, and I'm also worried about his future. Should I choose to continue to be a policeman or stick a ticket? Will Alozzo's other team members let him go? These started when he chose to join the team and received the call. This is not something he can choose. What can he choose?

1. In Roger's house, he did not choose to kill Jamie, and did not take the money. This is his instinct, this is not what the police should do, his choice is correct, but in the end he accepts it, and Alozzo makes him take on the argument of shooting in self-defense. That is to say, shooting and not shooting with one's own hands are just different in conscience, and the outcome is the same, because the evidence of other living people present, including his own drug and alcohol test evidence, will point to him. If he takes the money, he will even spend There's no chance for them to fall into the pockets of Alozzo or the gang. This choice does not change the outcome.

2. At Roger's house, when he pointed a gun at Alozzo, he did not choose to shoot. If he chooses to shoot, the result is that he will also be shot in the head, and this choice is also correct. The result can be the same as above.

3. In Alozzo's car at the scene of the shooting, he chose to accept the cruel reality and start by changing himself. Alozzo then takes him to see Stan at the Directorate General and teaches Jack how to speak to the prosecutor. Here he can still choose not to perjury and tell the truth to the prosecutor, but what about the result?

So, Jack fell into a trap from the beginning until he was handed over to the gang. He had little choice but to be at the mercy of him. And his inner duty and sense of mission as a policeman allowed him to overcome the illusion of marijuana and rescued the cousin of the gangster boss, and completed: old policeman-kill-new policeman-rescue-gangster cousin-gangster cousin Put -- the black humor of the new cops.

In this cruel world where wolves eat sheep, if you accidentally get into the wolf's full set, your chances of survival are really slim. Jack is lucky, the choice to change the outcome is exactly the simple desire of the police to catch the bad guy in his heart. For us in reality, how to distinguish who is a wolf and when a wolf wants to eat a sheep is not an easy task. We should do our part more and have our own principles and bottom lines. This is what we can do. Selected.
