A masterpiece that interweaves human justice and evil, beauty and ugliness. In addition to the deep-rooted American human rights awareness, the core values ​​of the film express more of the universality of human beings. It is not easy to be able to express such a macro and broad thing clearly. What is commendable is that the director interprets the story structure of multiple main lines so perfectly, and has created vivid and flesh-and-blood characters for the audience, and involuntarily his sincere feelings. Infected.
Human beings have gained and sighed in the endless struggle between family affection, conscience, good and evil; in the constant struggle to solve the contradiction between good and evil, they have picked the evil flowers and the sharp edge of justice.
As a commercialized action movie, the main theme of the struggle between good and evil runs through and even rises to the point of thought-provoking. There are indeed many remarkable points. There are two main lines of Terry in the film: the salvation of conscience and the salvation of hostages (including his family) throughout. This is the most brilliant part of the plot interpretation of the film. And Accounting Smith also has two main lines of family salvation and self-conscience salvation. The two are closely linked and complement each other, which makes people have to admire the originality of the screenwriter.
Several episodes worth mentioning are also very interesting. After starting the security system of the mansion as a robber, the boy and Terry issued "Fuckin the rich people" at the same time, so that people who are in the gap between rich and poor empathize; Mars is holding a Molotov cocktail, like a hell messenger, and a girl like the Virgin Mary The contradiction of the sub-general dress structure appears aesthetic and religious, and Demars finally throws the Molotov cocktail on himself and completes the understanding of love and self-soul salvation to a climax.
It is recommended that those with gloomy minds watch this film and carefully understand the emotional factors portrayed in the film.
