Jack the man

Well, Tommy doesn't look visual, but he's a man for sure. Men like the characters in the play can't be used to live, they are born to create stories for people to watch, how can they afford firewood, rice, oil and salt. Soldiers have a special temperament, and they are different when they have been on the battlefield. For example, even if Li Bai recited the poem, "Kill a person in ten steps, and leave nowhere for a hundred miles", he can only think about it that way. A knight is banned as a chivalrous person. Even if Li Taibai becomes a knight, he is still inferior, not to mention it is just a vision. The legalization of killing soldiers on the battlefield (not Chinese or Western, neither ancient nor modern, nondescript...) has a bloody aesthetic. Jack is a practitioner of this kind of aesthetics. After being discharged from the army, he can still find a kind of relief in the prosperity and peace. In the end, he may be the old cowboy. He's not as smart as he is. Depression and loss are indeed the rift of a lifetime.

    Like Tang Ge’s large platter of various slices, each section has the feeling of deja vu. The reasoning is still very good, the action scene is a little bit worse, Lian Po is very old.

    If you like Tom Cruise, there is a topless lens inside, but nothing else.

Jack Reacher quotes

  • Sandy: [Sandy, Jeb and four other guys all surround Reacher outside a bar]

    [to Reacher]

    Sandy: You still think you're funny now, creep?

    Jeb: Shut your mouth, Sandy! No one is talking to you!

    Jack Reacher: It's your last chance to walk away.

    Jeb: [chuckles] Are you kidding? It's five against one.

    Jack Reacher: [shakes his head] It's *three* against one.

    Jeb: [perplexed] *How* do you figure?

    Jack Reacher: Well, once I take out the leader, which is you, I'll have to contend with one or two enthusiastic wingmen. The last two guys, they always run.

    Jeb: Oh, you, uh, you've done this before?

    Jack Reacher: [reluctantly nods] It's getting late.

    [Jeb moves in]

    Jack Reacher: Remember, you wanted this.

    [Jeb smiles and swings at Reacher, who ducks and elbows Jeb in the forehead, who falls to the ground]

    Jack Reacher: It's okay.

    [helps Jeb up]

    Jack Reacher: Get up.

    [kicks Jeb in the groin from behind, Jeb groans and Reacher pushes him aside with his foot. The other four move in closer]

    Jack Reacher: Okay, let me know who's who. Let's get this done.

    [Reacher easily takes down the other four, with him holding the last guy's foot under his arm. Two of the guys get up and both stare at Reacher with fear]

    Jack Reacher: Really?

    [kicks the last guy in the chest, who screams as he falls to the ground. The two guys run away as the cops come. Sandy runs away as well]

    Cop: [points his gun at Reacher] On the ground.

    Jack Reacher: That's a pretty impressive response time, fellas.

    Cop: Do it!

    [Reacher reluctantly gets down on the ground, next to a groaning Jeb]

    Cop: Hands behind your back.

    Jack Reacher: [to Jeb] Who hired you?

  • Jack Reacher: Look out the window.

    Helen: No, I've work to do.

    Jack Reacher: Just humor me.

    Helen: And you need to leave.

    Jack Reacher: Okay.

    [Grabs Helen's arm and starts to pull her to the window]

    Helen: Let, let go of me.

    Jack Reacher: Would you tell me what you see?

    Helen: I see the same... things I see every day.

    Jack Reacher: Well, imagine you've never seen it. Imagine you've spent your whole life in other parts of the world being told every day you're defending freedom. And finally you decide you've had enough. Time to see what you've given up your whole life for. Maybe get some of that freedom for yourself. Look at the people. Now tell me which ones are free. Free from debt. Anxiety. Stress. Fear. Failure. Indignity. Betrayal. How many wish that they were born knowing what they know now? Ask yourself how many would do things the same way over again? And how many would live their lives like me.
