It's a pity that the Chinese people understood thousands of years ago: the prince breaks the law and sins with the people.

Halfway through, I really can't stand it anymore. I resisted reading it, but I didn't expect it to turn around, but I feel like this group of people is just joking? Law enforcement is not like law enforcement, criminals are not like criminals, and people are not like people.

The feeling in the play has always been adhering to the principle of innocence or impunity for those who do not know. Reminiscent of the most troublesome juvenile delinquency in society today.

I remembered the only time I got into the game in more than 30 years in my life:

When I first got divorced, I felt very aggrieved. Every day I went to my friends to drink and talk to me. One day I drank too much and went back. The more I thought about it, the more grief and anger I felt. I slapped it up, but I didn't expect it to be bent. How strong can a drunk who doesn't walk straight? I was also stunned, and then the uncle who guarded the door insisted that I pay 500 yuan. It's just bullshit, right? Is a pole of the same quality as touch porcelain worth so much money? So I quarreled with my grandfather. Then there's the game. I remember very clearly that after the police came, they let me sit on an interrogation table with handcuffs and shackles. Although they didn't handcuff me, I was half cowardly at the time, and then they asked me what was going on while recording the video. After I explained my reasons, they explained to a drunk for about an hour. It was roughly the public property of the community. No matter how it was damaged, it would have to be compensated. Of course, the price can be negotiated, but it is not allowed. I can find someone to fix it myself.

Although I was a drunk at the time, I also felt that what they said was reasonable and I could accept the conditions given. After all, I broke it, and I had nothing to say if I repaired it.

That night they sent me home to sleep again, and the next day they called me to take a transcript. I felt so embarrassed when I woke up, so they kept apologizing. They saw that I was not a difficult person to talk to, so they finally said to me before leaving: You don't know that you were drunk last night, and several people can't talk about you. I am more aware that I am wrong and cause trouble for others.

Later, no one asked me to pay for the pole. I found the property, their leader, the police station, and even put the money on their table, but they refused to ask for it. They just told me that they would need to find you later.

I understand that what everyone may need is an apology, an affirmation of right and wrong, and an affirmation of laws and rules.

Well, let's get to the point, let's not talk about the plot, let me talk about my personal understanding of the plot.

The little boy stole other people's things, was injured after being caught and fled, and was not criticized and educated after being released, but was warned and asked to lie.

It's just so absurd.

In the later stage, the director gave the injured little boy many individual shots, showing not admitting wrongdoing, not remorse, but hatred and sadness. It is mentioned in the play that this little boy has caused trouble many times, but in the little boy's world, he didn't feel that he did something wrong, that he didn't feel that stealing was wrong, and that he didn't feel that it was wrong to cause trouble. Instead, in the final revenge, he acted like a revenge drama. Here, the male protagonist who rebelled against Ju Hai's deep hatred.

I really don't know where the director's three views are. Or is that the case in parts of France?

I personally think that what the world needs are transparent, reasonable and tough rules, not such weak and ambiguous rules.

It's not right for the police to shoot by mistake, but a group of children is attacking them, and it's justifiable to shoot a rubber gun when there is a possibility of injury. Well, this may involve the issue of juvenile delinquency.

But my point of view has always been very clear, the prince breaks the law, and the common people are guilty. Whether you are an adult or not. If we uphold the principle of innocence of the ignorant, we can only create more arrogant children.

Someone might say to me: This is cruel, they are just children! I don't know if people who say this will be able to say this when their children are being bullied on campus.

The world needs rules. It can't be said that you don't understand because you are young, and you can't say that you don't abide by it because your race is like that. Of course, what I'm talking about here is subjective mistakes, not mistakes.

Some people may say that this is a racial issue. Every nation has its own order. We cannot interfere. That is interfering with the freedom of others.

Stop being funny, okay? If a group of primitive tribes are discovered another day, and their rule is to eat people, can they eat people without breaking the law?

The world is getting smaller and the rules are becoming more general and transparent, a product of the progress of the times. No one can override this rule, and no one can ignore it. If you don't keep up with it, shouldn't it be inevitable to be eliminated?

The specific presentation of this rule is actually the law.

Of course, there are definitely loopholes in the law that can even cause harm. But transparent laws, laws that have evolved over decades and hundreds of years, are always stronger than those unscrupulous personal rules. This is reminiscent of the decade when gangs were rampant, just like at the end of the film, when a group of children rioted, it gave people the feeling that the leading child was the heaven and the law. That's the real scary part.

When people put personal feelings above the law, either for good or for evil, it is bound to invite chaos. Just like the old oily policeman and the new policeman in the play, although it seems that they have their own hidden secrets, they are all poor people, and it is difficult for them to solve these things, but in fact they both put their own rules above the law. , what they do is no different from a little boy who doesn't know how to inflict harm.

So it doesn't really make any sense to say that the ending is shot or not. Chaos is inevitable when there is no one norm defining what is right and wrong for everyone.

Because everyone will only feel that what they do is right.

    Continuation of the short film style, the film is very powerful, the street scenes are real and exciting, and the final corridor battle scheduling is amazing. The questions thrown pointedly pointed to the status quo of France and even European countries. Behind the unsolvable proposition is deep reflection on the social system. Although there is a sense of design, the feature film debut as a director is really amazing. The karma in Victor Hugo's novel [Les Miserables] is also staged in the movie.

    With the narrative characteristics of a unit drama, the whole film is divided into three relatively average units. Character features are introduced quickly and reused. What makes the whole film credible is not social reality, but an internal efficient call. In the end, Issa stood on the steps holding a Molotov cocktail, a very symbolic gesture, linking the hypertext, Jean Valjean and Marius. After all, it's a bit of a trick, and it's a line away from "Battle of Algiers" or "Doing the Right Thing".
