After reading some movie reviews, I also reminisced about the movie
. There are not many details and psychology, including language description, so in fact, everyone doesn't know what they are thinking, but everyone unconsciously stands on the side of the male protagonist, which is a bit contradictory to Nick.
Unlike "Ace Vs Ace", the two protagonists do not have heroes and know heroes. In fact, they are opposites from the beginning. I still remember that at the beginning, Clyde went to see Nick and said in desperation, "Please, don't make a deal with them." But Nick used his usual tough tone and said, I made a deal. Clyde looked at Nick with tears in his eyes as Nick shook hands with the criminal.
If the criminals brought Nick hatred, Clyde brought Nick despair. Clyde, the prosecutor representing the judiciary, made deals with criminals for his high conviction rate, and was the last line of defense to safeguard civil rights. , the judicial system collapsed at this time.
Regarding Clyde, his revenge on the criminal is actually very simple, and the highlight of the whole film lies in him and Nick.
What kind of feelings he has for Nick, some people say, he is for Nick to be a good prosecutor. In fact, when we watch movies, we tend to be the protagonists of mythology. I think Clyde's feelings for Nick are very simple. In fact, he just wanted Nick to understand, don't make a deal
with the prisoner Nick made a deal with the prisoner, deeply hurt Clyde. So, Clyde became a prisoner, making deals with Nick again and again, but these deals hurt Nick himself. In fact, Clyde just wanted Nick to feel his pain and told him not to make deals with prisoners.
Of course, Clyde didn't just want to get revenge on Nick, or that's just a small part of the reason, but he definitely had a kind of revenge on Nick.
This is reflected in the video he sent to Nick's family
For Nick, justice is nothing but his job, a means for him to gain fame and fortune, without the sanctity and meaning that justice should have. This is his job, not to say that Nick is a bad guy, he actually represents this type of people, they represent justice, but they do not represent justice. This is very similar to the Celestial Dynasty. Those judges and prosecutors are the executors of justice, but justice is only their tool, and they work without a sense of justice.
And Clyde wants to destroy this rotten judicial system, but he doesn't want to destroy Nick, maybe he needs a witness, or he actually wants Nick on his side. It sounds wrong, but in fact, he wants to let Nick know what is right and let Nick realize his mistakes, which seems very forgiving, but it's not, Nick understands that it costs too much.
First of all, Nick's colleagues are dead, which is okay, but his lover Sarah, also died, more painful than that, in those moments waiting for 6 o'clock. Someone foretells your death, and there is nothing you can do about it. I think in the end Nick also gave these tit-for-tat to Clyde. He said, you still have 25 seconds, which is also a countdown to life, and it must be said that it is a kind of revenge.
In fact, the protagonist didn't want to go out alive, because he dialed the phone, and even if everything went as he planned, Nick would kill him. But he was unwilling that he did not live to destroy the system, and Nick, even though he understood his past mistakes, still chose to stand on the side of the judicial system.
In the end, Clyde died and Nick became the hero. Become the chief prosecutor, the big hero who saves the city, and the family happiness. In fact, nothing has changed, and Nick may not make deals with criminals anymore. But the system has not changed, Nick will always exist. In fact, I always feel that this ending is a kind of despair, and this despair is the most real.
