Finally, there is a 2D movie in the theater... I watched it for Uncle Nissen. In fact, after watching the trailer, I imagined it was a completely different story. Overall, it was unsatisfactory.

The beginning was flat and the development was weak and tired. When I was about to doze off, the style of painting suddenly changed and the quality suddenly improved, but the explanation at the end was too vague.

In fact, the inferred places are actually given to the camera in advance. Unfortunately, I am the kind of "just watch but never observe" that Sherlock Holmes complained about. I always wait for the flashback to the camera before I realize it slowly. The only exception is that I have to pretend to be deep. At the moment when someone in the philosopher talked a lot, I said "oh" faster than the protagonist (but this clue is really not too deliberate? Director, thank you for taking care of me)...I feel that the buttons in the film can convince me This little shrimp with a decent logic... The action scene looks very difficult, and it fits the setting of the male protagonist in his sixties?

This is a story about a fairy fighting a little ghost and it teaches us: as a little shrimp caught in the big waves, we must pay attention to 1. Stick to the principles and insist on doing the right thing. 2. Don’t be greedy for petty gains. The truth of change, 4 always plan ahead and plan B, 5 If you can't do the above, then try to become a big shrimp...

The most important point is probably not to label people at will, you never know how ta will subvert your inference in the next moment

The Commuter quotes

  • Sofia: Ricky was a city planner, and some nights he would have to work late, so I-I would go to his office to finish my homework. I was waiting for Ricky by the elevator when these two men show up. I didn't see their faces, but they were looking for Ricky. I hid 'cause I didn't wanna get him in trouble. But they wanted something from him. Then all of them start yelling, and I hear this noise. They were hurting him. I could hear him screaming. And he tells them that he doesn't have it, that it's back at his place.

    Michael MacCauley: You took it.

    Sofia: Of course I took it. I wanted to help. And then I look through the doorway and I see this guy. He's holding Ricky, and he hits him, and he says something about being noble.

    Michael MacCauley: Noble?

    Sofia: He says that doing the right thing will get you killed, and that there's no such thing as being noble. And then, they just... I didn't... I didn't know what to do. I...

    Michael MacCauley: I know.

    Sofia: I just took it, and... and I ran.

    Michael MacCauley: Why didn't you call the police?

    Sofia: I couldn't call the police. The men who killed him were cops.

  • Michael MacCauley: So, I heard something earlier today, a hypothetical question.

    Tony: Uh-huh. What was the question?

    Michael MacCauley: What if someone asked you to do one little thing, something that's meaningless to you, but would affect another passenger on this train? Would you do it?

    Tony: I don't know. What's in it for me?

    Michael MacCauley: $100,000.

    Tony: Absolutely!

    Michael MacCauley: You don't even know what it is.

    Tony: It doesn't matter. Come on.

    Jackson: So, what is that one little thing?

    Michael MacCauley: A passenger on this train doesn't belong. They're carrying a bag, but you don't know what it looks like. All you have to do is find them before they get off.

    Tony: That's it? It's not much to go on, Mike.

    Michael MacCauley: Tell me about it.

    Jackson: And what happens when you find 'em?

    Michael MacCauley: They die. Hypothetically.

    Tony: So what would you do, Mike?

    Michael MacCauley: I'd get all the people left on the train in one car, propose that very scenario.

    Tony: No, no, no, no, no. I mean, would you take the money?

    Michael MacCauley: You know what? I already did.
