Needless to say, this is John Woo's most successful film in America. The film does not focus on the love between men, but on the most direct confrontation and life and death. Hymns, churches, white doves, Jesus and the cross, these are the elements Woo often intersperses in shootouts and transitional episodes. He himself said that these elements are an expression and outburst of emotion. Although these things have appeared countless times in his other films, this time gave me a very different mood. If these elements were filmed in Hong Kong, I would say there is a "dance cha cha" feeling; and when these elements appear in Hollywood, I would say "dignified, serious".
The two protagonists are destined to be confrontation and a life-and-death outcome, just as good and evil have always been irreconcilable: Chloe has emphasized more than once: maybe we are more suitable for our original selves. At the end of the film, Chloe is also the last to work hard He tried to tear up the face of "Sean" and let Sean live under the face of "Chloe": Chloe is really cruel. Finally, Sean finally defeated Chloe and got back his own. things: not just a ring, a face, but a body and life. Except for one thing. In the end, Sean did not move the scar back, but let it go with Chloe, become the past, and move towards a new life: good and evil, good and evil, even if Sean and Chloe changed their identities, Their nature will not change.
