three-dimensional film

Regarding the part about Sonny being captured in the end, but no one looked back at him, most of the comments when they saw the barrage were "Why should I watch it? I wish he died", and I have something to say. Is Sonny a bad guy? In a big way, of course. He took hostages, robbed banks, caused panic by shooting, lost money, and deserved to be captured. But is he really a bad guy? I don't think so. In the process of taking the hostages, he did not hurt anyone, tried to keep everyone safe, ordered food for everyone, taught people to use guns, and made husbands who were worried about their wives talk to their wives on the phone. If he is really a bad person, beaten, tortured, and threatened his life in exchange for his life, this is what a bad person should do. He's a fool, an incompetent, an unlucky guy, but definitely not a bad guy. In the process of getting along with the hostages, he did not do evil, but tried his best to express goodwill within his ability. So in the end he was captured, and it was too much to expect those people to take a look at him and sympathize with a little guy who was tortured by life and had no way to go and finally went to a dead end? I know a lot of people will say, try to kidnap you, the Holy Mother speaks, bad people are bad people and so on. But people are really not that flat. For example, a person can cheat for a living at the same time, or give his life to save a strange child. Do you think this is a good person or a bad person? Should it be scolded or praised? There is no such one-sided evaluation. Sonny's robbery of a bank is indeed illegal for the public, and he should be beaten and killed, but he is not bad for the hostages, and he has no loss in personal virtue. From Sonny's point of view, he is capable of harming but not harming others. As a cornered little guy, he finally yearns for a little sympathy, a little empathy, or even just a little attention from others about his end, which doesn't count. Excessive. He was justifiably disappointed. As a spectator, you don't have to be so upright, so on-line, black and white. Because "people" are inherently complex and gray, there is no absolute good or bad. Finally, a few more words about watching the movie. I like watching movies and novels very much because I can see all kinds of real characters, all kinds of angles, and the complexity of human nature. This is the real world. A prostitute can be more human than a nobleman, and a bank robber can be a good guy. Horror live broadcasts, scorching sun, too many stories discussing the conflict between human nature good and evil and the boundaries of behavior, all they want to tell us is that humans are very complex animals. Stories teach us and guide us to look at the world in a three-dimensional, empathic, and more inclusive way, to see everyone's suffering, everyone's good, and everyone's happiness. personal bad. Instead of making us more extreme and one-sided.

    Lumei sharply sees the class essence behind real events. Every time Sonny negotiates, it is a show. The entrance of the bank is a stage for the whole world to see. Everyone expects to see a martial artist or an old clown, but unexpectedly, they see a mortal who pretends to be a robber. He is not even an actor, and only performs on the stage. What a frivolous thing. And who dares to laugh at mediocrity, or say, people like themselves? No wonder Sonny gets sympathy on and off the screen...

    It's so extraordinary, the most "exotic" bank robbery scene I've ever seen. It is to break the tense and simple confrontation between robbers and hostages in the traditional plot, reflecting the complexity of society and not only the tension of the situation; it is to cut directly from the act of robbery without explaining the history, and the output is turbulent from the perspective of acting alone. amount of information. On the surface, they are two unlucky thieves, but in fact they carry many issues without knowing it. Consciousness and method have the quality of a documentary, Lu Meite handed over the master's handwriting everywhere.
