The world is impermanent, and it is difficult to follow the perfect method. If you encounter obstacles, deal with them!

A killer who loves beeping, a driver who has a dream but pursues perfection and dares not act, the two meet and plan to kill 5 people in one night, and the story begins!

It is good to have a dream and a plan, but if you are too paranoid about perfection and always think that everything is ready before you act, your dream plan will never be completed.

One dream and one plan is the main theme of this drama. Buying a Mercedes-Benz is a dream, and killing 5 people is a plan, but they are not so smooth. But if you don't dare to try and wait forever, it will always be in memory.

The most obvious change should be the driver's change, from being cowardly and timid at the very beginning, always wanting to escape, to speeding up the red light, and finally to the decisiveness of shooting. From the coward of life to the courage to act, it can be said that Tom is leading the old driver to grow.

"It must be perfect, prepare for all the difficulties" The old driver has always thought about preparing everything before starting the operation. From the very beginning, he mentioned the Mercedes-Benz dream with the female prosecutor, but the reality is that he does not even have the courage to make a phone call. If it is not in place Just keep preparing, dreams are always used to think, without action, dreams are equal to zero.

Looking at difficulties is also another kind of growth. Since we are all insignificant in this world, why should we pay attention to it, if there is any difficulty, fuck it and deal with it!

    Tom Cruise vs. the taxi driver pretending to be happy, the killer of the robot vs. the sorrow of the little man

    When Michael Mann mentioned the Book of Changes, in my eyes, the usual city bird's-eye view was no longer a rational geometric brilliance, but was clearly an abstract principle leading to an infinite number of related universes from the specific situations of the sixty-four hexagrams. The camera is from far to near, as if to randomly list a hexagram: "The same person is in the wild, Henry. Lee is involved in Dachuan." A black driver was driving on the road, carrying a passenger, "The same person who goes out, who is to blame", the story goes from here start. Of course, given the popularity of the Book of Changes and Lao Tzu in the United States, it is not surprising that Michael Mann compares the meaning of life to Yi and Darwinism. Because from the point of view of looking at the Tao with the eyes of things, this life course replaced by the new and the old is too calm and ruthless. In this way, compared to the Word of God’s love in the West, this universe can indeed be used as an excuse for murder. The sky is full of stars. Who would have noticed that dark, unclear and full of flawed shooting star? It is neither possible nor necessary to explain to Michael Mann how the Qianyuan Henry Zhen and the wealthy and new are able to make things happen, because borrowing a knife is a matter of what the benevolent sees the wise and the wise.
