In 1997, Hollywood's special effects may not have been able to be as beautiful and realistic as they are now, so they tried to perfect the story as much as possible.
"Air Prison" reveals its theme in the first minute of the story. As an American soldier, even in the face of life and death, he will never give up his partner and move forward bravely. The reveal and nature of this theme reveal the characters' unreasonable choices in the face of difficulties.
At first glance, the story has two themes, one has just been said, and the other is love, affectionate love, the love of a father for his daughter who has never met. It is understandable that a film has two themes. After all, a 120-minute film cannot be supported by two themes. But in my opinion, there is an implicit theme, and that is redemption. This theme is mainly manifested in the deadly bosses of the anti-drug group, Danken and the murderer Jalan Green. As an arrogant person, Danken believes that he is standing at the top of the pyramid, that all criminals deserve what they deserve, and that he wants to blow up the "air prison" filled with the most terrible villains, murderers, and gangsters in the world, but in the In the confrontation with Vince Reiken, he gradually changed his mind, thinking that he gave the criminals and villains he hated a chance for redemption.
Although the murderer Jalan Green appeared in the middle of the story, his cold, morbid appearance, and the horror stories about him gave all the vicious criminals a very deterrent shock. Even the big BOSS of the film is in awe of him. This murderer who has killed countless people already has his own philosophy of killing, but in the face of a pure, untainted loli in his eyes, and looking at his child without fear, perhaps in his heart A certain kind of redemption is found in the softest part. At the end of the film, of all the criminals, he was the only one who escaped to heaven and gambled recklessly in the casino. This may be the director's desire to make a series and leave an unfinished ending for the next story, but I prefer to believe that this is a This is a manifestation of redemption. Because he was influenced by the child, there were some changes. After all, Jialan accepted the doll given by the child and kept it in his hand. Isn't it a hint? He accepted the child's redemption and changed from a murderer to a gambler? (Better to gamble than to kill).
"Prison in the Air" is the most typical commercial film of Hollywood heroism, and its script creation is remarkable. This can't help but be reflected in his clear themes, as well as characterization, details, jokes, and continuous emotional clues. I won't describe them one by one here. I hope to have the opportunity to analyze them one by one in the future
