Vantage Point - Never see the world from one angle

Abigayle 2022-04-20 09:01:40

I recently watched this film alone, the scene is more than hot and exciting, the plot twists and turns criss-cross, but as far as I am concerned, it is only one of the movies that has performed the theme of "big shot assassination" thousands of times. No matter how he used all kinds of martial arts and tried his best, he couldn't help but think of "Lian Po is old, can he still eat".

Although the subject matter is old, the method has its own unique features. The film uses a multi-angle narrative method to experience an assassination incident from the perspective of 8 different characters. Different perspectives bring different perceptions of the same event, which not only gives the audience the opportunity to experience 8 kinds of character experiences, including trembling, brave, witty, and betrayal. In addition, it also subtly improves the event itself. Regardless of whether the audience feels good or bad about it, I have a different understanding from it:

looking at the world, there is never more than one angle

in the movie. In the movie, different characters experience the same event, but their feelings are quite different. The difference lies in their roles. Status, including literally geographical location, also includes various purposes in the connotation. This is also true in reality, and examples abound:

communicating with customers at work, a bank policy, may be considered for customer safety in the case of banks; Losses; for bank staff, it becomes a burden that increases customer complaints and increases workload.

There are all kinds of beautiful nebulae in the universe, reflecting all kinds of different shapes. In fact, they all follow a certain law of matter distribution after the death of stars, but because of the different observation angles, many nebula shapes are formed, which are dizzying and admirable.

The Asian Games event is celebrated all over the world? From the perspective of the world, it should be to enhance the image; from the perspective of high-ranking officials, increase GDP and enhance the city's popularity; from the perspective of ordinary people, it is an ideal discussion after a meal; from the perspective of poor people, it may lose a favorable place for begging...

We are not God, not Buddha, not Allah, of course cannot cover everything.

Next time, before making your own point of view, would you consider a different angle?
