I love this story, it moved me. Unlike LEON, the male protagonist has a kind of fatherly love for little girls, a kind of love that is a year-long friendship.
But that's not the real Latin America, especially -- it's not the real Mexico. In Mexico, the gap between the rich and the poor is very serious. The rich are extremely rich, but they are not like the parents of a little girl, worrying that their daughter will be kidnapped at any time, as if the kidnapping of the rich is so inevitable. .
But some of the details are very real: the hero takes the little girl to school, they don't get along well at first, they get into an argument with the little girl, it's messy at the time, and the little girl escapes from the car (later it turns out that she just wants to go to school) back seat). At this time, two little black Mexicans suddenly blocked in front, so frightened that the hero pulled out his gun. In fact, these two little men just came to clean the glass of the car at the red light and made a small money of one or two yuan. ------This is so true, there are people like this at almost every major road intersection in Mexico City, pouring cleaning fluid on your car window without any reason, most of the time, just a symbolic wipe, You can just give it when you are old, and most people are embarrassed not to give it. But if you go all the way and meet several people who can't help but talk about it, it's strange that your temper doesn't come up.
Also, Mexico is a corrupt country, probably even darker than ZHONG GUO. Black and white can be reversed everywhere, and money can do anything. The story of black eating black is not uncommon. When the little girl was kidnapped, it was two policemen who helped block the road. This is very true.
The Mexico filmed in the film is generally depressing. The real Latin America is vivid, very passionate, and everyone is happy (to put it badly, it is heartless), not like the film. Behaving like that, dirty, messy everywhere.
