old enemy

"The Enemy" should be regarded as an old film by Jake Gyllenhaal. After he and the director of this film made this film, he went to cooperate with "Prisoner" together. The film uses the name of science fiction to perform the reality of literature and art, with gloomy tones and low music, creating a depressing atmosphere. It tells the tangled story of the complex and contradictory male protagonist who wants to end his emotional life outside of marriage but cannot resist the temptation. It's a bit brain-consuming, but it's more interesting. The director's storytelling level is high, and the ending is unexpected, which also frightened me. The plot is not clear, let's discuss it after reading it. Recommend 4 stars.

Enemy quotes

  • Anthony: Control, it's all about control. Every dictatorship has one obsession and that's it. In ancient Rome they gave the people bread and circuses. They kept population busy with entertainment but other dictatorships used other strategies to control ideas, the knowledge... how do they do that? Lower education, they limit culture, censor information, they censor any means of individual expression and is important to remember this, that this is a pattern, that repeats itself through out history.
