I always think that arguing about facts is a not-so-smart state. Just like this movie, although the Chinese name is "Drug Network", the English name is clearly written as Traffic. From "Sex Lies and Videotapes" to "Kafka", Soderbergh’s costs are getting higher and higher. The handwriting is getting bigger and bigger, and the subject matter is getting wider and wider. The span from pure realism to magical realism is also rare among directors in the world. So when "Drug Network" returned to realism and talked about sensitive topics about drug trafficking, it brought the U.S. government, the military and the police to assist in the filming. The critics all agreed that he was finally in a niche art. The year has moved closer to the mainstream. I just believe that some things about people are not easy to change, such as interests. Soderbergh's interest is that he likes to see human confession. From beginning to end, the sex lies are women chatting about themselves in front of the camera lens of the dead otaku protagonist. Kafka echoed from the beginning to the end, both of which Kafka read to his father alone. Confession is a way to calm the soul. It's like a woman is willing to say to her husband who is in jail for drug trafficking: I can't bear to lose my current life, I want to help you. It's like a judge willing to say to reporters that I cannot declare war on my family because my family is taking drugs, and I can't do it. Human beings who sincerely face their desires, no matter whether the desire itself is noble or not, I think it is respectable. I believe that Soderbergh has the same view of the world as mine, because he always likes to arrange Happy ending for such sincere human beings. The otaku noodle in the sexual lie won the heroine’s heart, Kafka in Kafka finally escaped, the Mexican police in the drug network, after cheating again and again, and even betraying his partner His peace is: sitting on the edge of the baseball field at night, watching a group of children play baseball carefree. "If there are lights in the park at night, then children can continue to play baseball instead of buying drugs." This is the heaviest peace, perhaps because all the sincere price is heavy.
