The eternal theme of the family

A not-so-special American action film, a film of mainstream American values. The background of the story is simple. The CIA agent decided to wash his hands after being terminally ill. At this time, the CIA asked him to complete the last order, in exchange for an experimental drug that could prolong his life. In the process of completing the final task, in addition to some not-so-dramatic action scenes, there are also some funny elements interspersed. Of course, the most important thing is that in the contradiction between family and task, the family is always in the first place, and at the same time it is not. Willing to give up completing the task and get a prolonged life.
I have seen a lot of similar movies with special agents as the background. My favorites are the "Mission Impossible" and "007" series. In contrast, the plot of "Three Days Assassination" is not too new, but the Hollywood-style production is destined to not be ugly. And the assassin that impresses people from time to time-no matter how ruthless the assassin is when facing relatives and children, he is so tender.
Most of the film was shot in Paris. The beautiful Parisian street scene reminds me of Xiao Li's "Inception", a movie I like very much. Both films have a lot of scenes in Paris, which makes me, a local turtle who has never been to Europe, full of yearning for Paris and Europe. In addition to the beauty of Paris, the similarity with Inception is the most important common value: returning to family. The various thrilling plots in "Inception" all stem from a goal, Xiao Li is going back to the United States to reunite with his children. "Three Days Assassination" is similar, eliminating previous misunderstandings and unhappiness, regaining the acceptance of his wife and children, and living together.
This is the constant core value of mainstream American movies. I used to read a lot and read it, paying more attention to the plot, but I don't have a deep understanding of the values ​​behind this plot. The difference now is that a person who stays abroad for a long time will slowly and profoundly realize the importance of family. There are many goals and meanings in life, but as the vast majority of ordinary people, in the end, home is the only warm harbor and a strong and unchanging spiritual pillar. There is really nothing more important than living with your family. NS.
