On the great good in human nature

I watched this movie not long ago, and I always felt that something was attracting me, but I couldn’t find it. I had to watch it for the second time and found something. It’s the kindness and kindness that Max exudes. The good side of the middle,
the story takes place in New York, a big city, so big that human nature is also lost in it, with the exception of a small taxi driver, a gratifying exception, there is such a scene, Ann asked, in New York, who would argue with a guest to save them 5 bucks? Max replied with a smile, I must kill him, I don't want someone to rob my business,
and when Vincent and Max met, Vincent also showed the same sadness, a person died in the subway, but there was no one. People pay attention, no one cares, even if it is a gesture of effort, no one is willing, Vinterson's response to this must have gone through a process from surprise to habit, and then to helplessness and sadness. It is estimated that Vinterson, who is engaged in a special occupation, no longer believes it. Human nature is sunny, until I met Max,
Max once refused Vinterson's charter fee because of company regulations, stopped calling for help in order to prevent more people from being killed, and chose not to let Vinterson continue to kill. Die together, and even stop for the small animals crossing the road. This series of inadvertent behaviors are all seen by Winterson. In his eyes, they are like sounds of nature, penetrated his soul, and conquered him. This is why In the nightclub shootout, the reason why Vintson didn't hesitate to expose his target and save Max, he could have left Max's life or death and found another taxi, but he didn't, for good things, we always hoped for him Can last forever,
and on the other hand, as a special occupation, Vinterson has his principles, professional ethics, I'M DOING THIS FOR LIVING, this sentence perfectly describes the life of a gentleman killer, The mission must be completed, until the end,
with the development of the plot, Vintson has come to a contradiction, must adhere to the principle, kill Annie, while Max is guarding Annie with his life, can't let Max die,
I am not interested in the movie The scene that is about to end has always been in doubt. Why was Max unscathed in the subway duel, facing the superb marksman Vinterson? Now I know the answer, it's not that Winterson can't, it's that he doesn't want to,
Winterson solved this contradiction in his own way, borrowing Max's hand, calmly, going to death,

    I feel that the filming is messy, and I don’t feel like I want to play tricks... Brother Tom is really not suitable for this kind of role.

    Compared with the wonderful and simple gunfights, I prefer the bridge section where the taxi walks unhurriedly in LA at night. The film has excellent editing and sound effects, and many details are amazing. Although the script has flaws, the flaws are not concealed after all. recommend!

  • Max: I can't drive you around while you're killing folks. It ain't my job!

    Vincent: Tonight it is.

  • Vincent: Okay, look, here's the deal. Man, you were gonna drive me around tonight, never be the wiser, but El Gordo got in front of a window, did his high dive, we're into Plan B. Still breathing? Now we gotta make the best of it, improvise, adapt to the environment, Darwin, shit happens, I Ching, whatever man, we gotta roll with it.

    Max: I Ching? What are you talking about, man? You threw a man out of a window.

    Vincent: I didn't throw him. He *fell*

    Max: Well what did he do to you?

    Vincent: What?

    Vincent: Nothing. I only met him tonight.

    Max: You just met him once and you killed him like that?

    Vincent: What? I should only kill people after I get to know them?
