Of course, I can't blame others for wanting to satisfy their various vanities. And what I want to do is to write something in a place very far away from the director. He will probably never see it in his entire life. I think I can understand his intentions. The
first time I watch David Ayer’s film is the end of the warning. A movie that made me sigh for a long time after watching. What I sigh is that it is rare to have such a film that makes people feel real and sincere, recreating the heroes of ordinary police. There is no fake seriousness, no fake bravery, and the verbal and affectionate things have turned a movie into a documentary in no small detail, and even the connection is so real and cruel that the situation is abruptly stopped. His every bit of the life of a police officer, including the action of the shootout scenes, and the photographic design, all reflect his intentions for investigating everywhere. A moving and sighing movie that reminds me of this seemingly ordinary name.
This time, Sabotage, frankly speaking, it was the same unremarkable and unremarkable at first when I saw the trailer, because his pictures are always true and almost real. It's boring, and the setting of the story can't escape the conflicts between the police and the robbers. But because of seeing his name, even if it is full of reviews and no one even cares about the subtitle translation, I still want to see
from the beginning, I see content that contradicts the majority of the population. The players have distinctive personalities, a group of muscular hooligans with different heights, five big and three thick muscles, and even the voices that shout tactical terms have a high degree of recognition, and there is a very bright evil bitch, such a special gangster. Leading by an old but absolutely convincing Arnold, it is really impressive. The plot of the story was also sold a lot from the beginning. It came up with the video of the family being held hostage. After it was played, I just clicked the watch and jumped to a few months later, and this group of anti-drug police who looked bad came up again. The blatant use of the "hands of duty" to fill his own pockets, and then the design of a bamboo basket to draw water, the beginning of this story is already enough to make people curious.
(Those who haven’t watched it yet and don’t want to be spoiled can just skip the next paragraph)
At the beginning, the director's guidance was that everyone (including the audience) believed that it was an outsider and an enemy who was chasing the team members, and that the opponent's combat effectiveness was deeply stressful whether it was described in words or in actual combat. The anti-drug team is struggling to make countless enemies but can only fight back. The friendship between teammates during this period, the trust in the boss, how the cohesion was lost and how to recover, are very reasonable and convincing, but after everyone's morale was unanimous in a raid to the outside world, the result of the fight was yet another time. Let suspicion resurrect, everyone suspects that there is an inner ghost, but no one seems to be suspicious. Under the threat of trust and life, the whole team completely fell apart, and when no one could guess how to go next, the truth came suddenly and disappointing. It turned out to be the most unreliable and most like the evil bitch. It's really a bitch, and the other team member killed all the brothers, including her husband. Seeing this, even though I was as disappointed as Arnold, who vowed to pay the debt, I still faintly felt that things were not that simple. Sure enough, after a fierce car chase and gun battle, in front of the exhausted evil bitch, Arnold revealed a shocking truth.
"Why
are you killing them?" "Because they stole my money, they all deserve to die. I don't know who stole it, so I just kill them all."
"No, I stole the money."
It turned out that Arnold was behind the whole incident, but it didn't seem to be because although he shot the evil bitch down, it was not because she wanted to resist, but because she still wanted to resist. And when the policewoman kept questioning, she was always worried that he would turn her head and shoot, but in the end she didn't kill her. In the end, Arnold, who disappeared from the scene in a blink of an eye and appeared in a distant foreign land, finally revealed his purpose of embezzling the stolen money. It was only then that the truth came to light. It turned out that he, who kept telling others to let go, has never forgotten to avenge his wife and children who were murdered by drug dealers. He is a saboteur, a complete saboteur, so he can't protect others, whether it's his family or his teammates. His final attribution can only be killing. He filled the entire desk of the police station with the embezzled money. This pile of money for all his subordinates' lives was finally exchanged for the murderer's intelligence he wanted. The last battle in the tavern was full of endless sadness. Just after reading it, I was still thinking that he could completely kill the assassin in a silent way, and then walked out swaggeringly. But then I want to understand that he is a saboteur. After destroying the final goal, his life will inevitably have nowhere to go. It would be better to leave my life here and kill happily.
From a suspenseful point of view, the design of the entire bureau is absolutely qualified. The truth is drawn and the relationship between the characters is pushed and pulled, and the image of each person is gradually enriched in the progress and details of the story. The old man in the Pacific Rim beat people casually. The eldest was still living in the RV. He didn't bother to pee in the sink when he got up at night. This fully exaggerated his sloppyness and looseness, and directly contributed to his tragedy. The madness and uncontrollableness of evil bitch is reflected in her drug addiction and sexual desire at any time. The drug addict in the anti-drug force still screams endlessly under the eyes of her husband. In the end, although her deeds are slightly disappointing , It is reasonable. But her husband hides a cowardly heart under the masculine glamorous shape and nickname. So where the person is too public, where is his sore spot. Like the other hunk, he was the first to go to the policewoman to confess for help because of fear of death. And her wife's presumptuousness is also inseparable from his cowardice. She was caught on the spot and went out with a condom, but she hadn't stopped it yet, and the ending can only have a cause and effect. The policewoman is a lead person from outside, but again, her self-righteous character allows her to be used repeatedly. And the core of the whole story is the reason for the name of the whole movie. Arnold, even though his acting skills are still in a hurry, he still uses a late and cumbersome figure to complete the last stroke of the legendary character’s sorrowful attribution.
The rhythm and photography of the whole movie are both It is just right as always. Anyone who has watched the end of the alert should know that his movies cannot be as popular as Hollywood. Gunfights have never been the focus, but the precise restoration of tactical actions and the various tricky surveillance recording shooting angles will definitely not Let every gunfight be lackluster. In addition to the story, there are also the special life-like lines in each character's mouth, sometimes inconspicuous swear words, and sometimes inadvertently revealing the true feelings. Truth and sincerity are all inherited from the end of the vigilance.
But of course, the shortcomings are indeed obvious. If I want to say that the biggest failure of the whole movie is precisely because of his personal style. From the point of view, it can be seen that this time he wants to make a movie that is different from the end of the warning, and is more biased towards the movie. But when the consistent documentary style encounters those obvious Hollywood movie-style plots, the inexhaustible mixing makes the overall perception very embarrassing. Especially in the last scene, even though it has been restrained compared to the similar segments of other movies, the personal heroism is still too strong. It's better to be "unfinished" like the end of the alert, or even stop when Arnold is ready to start, leaving a little aftertaste instead of continuing to consume his last feelings. If this tail can also be put away, the quality of the entire film will definitely go up to several grades.
In general, this movie seems to me to be sincere and true. Just like Arnold's last fight, even if the subject matter is outdated and he fails to meet his preferences, his own quality is still very worthy of recognition. It took so long to write so many thoughts that have not been poured out for a long time. I just want to say that everyone's hard work must hope to be appreciated by others. Maybe not most of them, but as far as I am concerned, if someone can read my stuff and leave so many heartfelt feelings, I will definitely feel it is worth it.
Don't fight it, Arnold, I'll almost stop. Come on, david ayer, I hope I can buy a ticket here to see your masterpiece.
