A meaningful lens

A meaningful shot in my memory. In a
quiet warehouse, Arthur and Troy were holding guns in their hands and were about to put each other to death. They couldn't see each other, but in fact, there was only a mirror between them. When they were alarmed by the sound, turned around and raised their guns, facing the mirror, their expressions swept across a wave of complexity. The face in the mirror is his own face, and at the same time, the enemy's face. Life is misplaced in an astonishing way, making it uninteresting. In the end, a slammed shot.

    Just like Wong Kar Wai’s Blueberry Night and Chongqing Forest, foreign ones can never surpass the prototype. After all, factors such as Chinese and foreign cultural environments are very different, so it is awkward to look at the version that was moved abroad. I think Westerners are far less than us. Infatuation, it's not that serious

    The antagonism of human nature, moral entanglements, and the emotions of the audience when watching movies caused by the exchange of identities are amazing. Wu Yusen's style of slow motion adds a unique rhyme to the movie. The part of the face change was horrified. After the face change, Cage played really well. Three details: 1 The shots of two people shooting at each other in the mirror have dialectical meaning. 2 The multi-party confrontation in the last climax scene. 3 Cage stabbed Sean's daughter with the knife

Face/Off quotes

  • Sean Archer: [as he walks out of his office] Any word from the LAPD intelligence? If there IS such a thing?

    Loomis: Not yet, sir.

    Sean Archer: Of course not, because we're a covert anti-terrorist team that is so secret, that when we snap our fingers NOTHING HAPPENS!

  • Castor Troy: Isn't this religious, ah yes. The eternal battle between good and evil, saint and sinners... but you're still not having any FUN!
