anticlimactic ending
Rosario 2022-04-20 09:01:12
I don't know if everyone feels the same way. I think the plot of this movie is good, but the ending always feels a little pale and flimsy. The ending I imagine is that after the protagonist kills the vice chairman, the boss behind the scenes, he sits on the throne of the pinnacle of power and then continues to implement the so-called tyranny. In fact, the vice-chairman, like the protagonist, has feelings, and obliterating the emotional ability of ordinary civilians is just the way he uses to rule, obedience, unconditional obedience. Personally, I don't really like American-style individual heroic victories. I feel that a person's strength is insignificant and powerless in the face of the system. The awakening of the protagonist's personal consciousness alone cannot overthrow a system. What I would like to see is for the protagonist to continue to rule, and then the underground group finally wins the revolt. . . .

Partridge: [Withdraws Prozium-administering device from his pocket and injects himself with it] It does.

Polygraph Technician: This is a control question, a riddle really. How would you say would be the easiest way to take a weapon away from a Grammaton Cleric?
Brandt: [speaks into Preston's ear] You ask him for it.
