Don't Cross the Line

This is a shocking story that magnifies the greed in people's hearts without mercy. This is a film that does not rely on any bloody scenes to create a suspenseful and thrilling atmosphere, but it makes you involuntarily chill.

At first there was nothing, because occasionally an opportunity to get started, through my own efforts, I can become the owner of a successful company in a short time. If expressed in a positive way, this is probably similar to "Waiting for happiness to knock on the door" It’s a Hollywood-style inspirational film, but the screenwriter has taken a different approach. Using this black accent to describe a story of a diaosi counterattack, it makes people feel extremely spicy.

The job of the journalist is to objectively and accurately report the truth of the incident, but in this film, this moral bottom line is broken. In order to shoot a video that can arouse public interest, Master Road, for personal benefit, all professional ethics and ethics are thrown out of the sky. Life has lost its meaning under his lens, and has become a bargaining chip for Lu's efforts to climb up. And it was the shooting that broke the bottom line again and again that allowed him to quickly rise to the top, taste the deliciousness of the evil fruit, and make his situation worse.

And this evil has also been magnified to everyone involved. The main competitor of the protagonist drew him together in order to monopolize the industry and squeeze greater profits; female news directors put such videos in the news at all costs, in order to use headlines to keep their jobs; his employees He was threatened in order to obtain higher returns and respect. In the eyes of this group of people, other people's lives are probably just worth a pocket dollar, or just a few stepping stones to help them climb to a higher position.

At the end of the film, it is very ironic that when the police and the gangsters became the victims of the gunfight, the perpetrators of this tragedy set off with great vigor, leading a group of newcomers to their next peak of life. For a moment, I really couldn't help but curse "Fuck" in my heart.

However, when this kind of blackness has magnified the evil to the extreme, we can't help but reflect on what has become the breeding ground for this evil? Isn't it because the audience's bottomless pursuit is visually stimulating, the curiosity for such bloody events, and the deformed demand that stimulates this evil? Do not cross the line, this is probably not only for the perpetrator, but also for the bystanders.

    The "civilian news" has turned into a demon, and it is as cold as a sharp blade, and this kind of profession is destined to walk in the dark night of morality. Although the stamina of the story is not enough, what else is required as a director's debut? Jack's performance was calm and bloodthirsty, and completely crushed all his previous roles. Will Aunt Ao give a nomination? !
