Realistic techniques present violence without subjective rendering, and the effect is often more shocking

I think 7.5 is really a good score. The director's realistic handling of violence is very good. It's true but it's quite shocking. During the lynching of the drug dealer, I had no suspense to guess the stalk of his family being maimed by the drug lord... So there is basically no suspense to me. Many people think that the Mexican police who was killed is too abrupt. , I don't think so! A few fragmentary shots just rightly highlight the insignificance of the little people. They have families, wives and children, live in poverty, and no one cares. They agreed to watch their son's football game, but they died in the end. At the end, the camera flashed, and the wife and son of the Mexican policeman went to the football game with expressionless faces. There were gunshots in the distance, and everyone looked back numbly. The sadness was deep in the bone marrow. The director's performance is just right~

But looking at the whole film, I always feel that there is a missing point. The reversal of Alessandro's identity did not bring any surprises. How profound is the reflection of human nature, except for the little policeman who was killed, I still feel a little bit.

8 is too high, 7 is too little, 7.5 is just right~

    86/100, the dark tide is raging, gray covers your eyes. Dickens's backlight photography is too strong, and Villeneuve's control is also very high. It is still his slow style, which is totally worth several times.

    Kate, played by Emily Blunt, is a projection of the audience’s perspective, public morals, and legal boundaries. She abides by her duty as a special police officer, thinking that the world is black and white, justice and darkness are clearly defined. However, in this hungry wolf rushing for food, In the indiscriminate killing of the enemy and us, Kate and she represented us are just idealistic lambs to be slaughtered. The world of police and bandits is far from a simple division of good and evil, and grievances will always be accounts that cannot be settled.

Sicario quotes

  • Phil Coopers: [assuring Kate] Advisors like Matt come in, they stir the pot, they cause the criminals to react and make mistakes. That's how we build cases against the individuals that actually make a difference in this fight. It's when they're nervous, when they stop trusting their crews, when they move their money. These are all opportunities to strike. And that's the purpose of people like Matt.

    Dave Jennings: Kate, this isn't something that I dreamed up myself. I don't have the authority to hire advisors, or authorize joint agency missions, or fly agents from Air Force bases. Are you understanding me? These decisions are made far from here, by officials elected to office, not appointed to them. So, if your fear is operating out of bounds, I am telling you, you are not. The boundary's been moved.

  • Reggie Wayne: [sitting in a bar] Look at you. Your eyebrows are a mess.

    Kate Macer: [hiding her face] No, they're not!

    Reggie Wayne: They're like caterpillars, like wild beasts. You're losing weight.

    Kate Macer: I'm eating.

    Reggie Wayne: Look at you. What is it, one T-shirt a week? At least work on your personal hygiene, huh?

    Kate Macer: You sound like my mother.

    Reggie Wayne: Maybe I *am* your mother. First we work on personal hygiene, then we move on to the shopping.
