Classic review

It's not the first time I watched the movie "Training Day". The last time I watched it was in junior high school, but it was a castrated version. The last time I watched the movie, I kept the impression that Jack shot and killed Alorzo, and also deleted the plot of the Russian gang, so the experience of this re-watching is quite good.

The movie "Training Day" itself is a classic crime film, and the nominations and awards for important awards such as the Oscar Golden Globe are the affirmation of the film. In the movie, Denzel Washington, the anti-narcotics policeman Alorzo, is an experienced, black-and-white detective. He learned some basic rules and knowledge in contact with drug dealers and gangs. In the first half, Alorzo always gave me a sense of being a person who is both righteous and evil. The first thing that came to mind when seeing a girl raped by poisonous insects was to snatch drugs and dollars. Forcing Jack to take drugs and oppressing the gang with his power, it also taught Jack the way to survive. The second half broke my mind. From the beginning, I didn't think about accepting Jack, but only thought about how to use the newcomers. He has been oppressing with violence, and when he is defeated by the rookie Jack, the self-eating gangs no longer protect him.

It is difficult to distinguish between right and evil in the movie. The detective should protect the informant, but the informant is the biggest drug lord. The informant is like collecting money for the police, and after fattening the police, he just gives up. The police caught the criminal, but the criminal seized the loopholes in the criminal law to get rid of the crime. The police only had to break the law to deal with the criminal. This is also a place worthy of reflection in the film, which is more like showing the chaos in the society to the society in the form of light and shadow.

    Everyday is a training day. But when it comes to Chinese names, I am still shocked by education. -------In this way, the face of society is suddenly torn off. Can we, who see the truth, be able to hold onto our ideals?

Training Day quotes

  • Roger: [in his home] Here's a joke, boy. One day this man walks out of his house to go to work. He sees this snail on his porch. So he picks it up and chucks it over his roof, into the back yard. Snail bounces off a rock, cracks its shell all to shit, and lands in the grass. Snail lies there dying. But it doesn't die. It eats some grass. Slowly heals. Grows a new shell. And after a while it can crawl again. One day the snail up and heads back to the front of the house. Finally, after a year, the little guy crawls back on the porch. Right then, the man walks out to go to work and sees this snail again. So he says to it, 'What the fuck's your problem?'

    Jake Hoyt: That's messed up. That wasn't funny.

    Alonzo Harris: Then why are you cackling like a jackal?

    Jake Hoyt: I dunno.

    Roger: Figure that joke out and you'll figure the streets out.

  • Alonzo Harris: [while inserting confiscated marijuana into a confiscated pipe] To be truly effective, a good narcotics agent must know and love narcotics. In fact, a good narcotics agent should have narcotics in his blood.

    Jake Hoyt: Are you gonna smoke that?

    Alonzo Harris: No, you are.

    Jake Hoyt: [laughs] Hell if I am.

    Alonzo Harris: You not gon' smoke it?

    Jake Hoyt: Naw, man. I became a narc to rid the streets of dopers, not to be one.

    Alonzo Harris: Come on, man, take a hit.

    Jake Hoyt: Naw, man.

    Alonzo Harris: [Slams brakes] Yeah, right. If I was a drug dealer, you'd be dead by now, motherfucker. You turn shit down on the streets, and the chief brings your wife a crisply folded flag. What the fuck's wrong with you? Talking about - You know what? I don't want you in my unit. I don't even want you in my division. Get the fuck out the car. Go back to the Valley, rookie.

    Jake Hoyt: All right, I'll smoke it.
