After a long time of underestimating myself, I still have to write something. First of all, I will praise it. This is a damn good movie. I strongly recommend everyone to watch it.
The development of the film can be described as unexpected, I thought it was a detective film, but it developed into an epic film. One might ask, this isn't really epic, is it? I said, to count, not to count, this is epic. It may be a trivial matter, but it reflects the problems of an era and bears the carrier of a nation. No matter how small the carrier is, it is also an epic. Family changes are called epics, "City of Sadness" is called epic, "The Recipient Unknown" is called epic, and "Testimony" is also called epic, whether it is a literary film, a police and bandit film, or a detective film.
The film reflects the problems of human nature. There are individual problems and group problems. In the final analysis, they are all problems of prejudice. I used to watch "Yesenia", and as long as they were gypsies, they were all thieves. "Booming Cannons", the black people sitting in the back row of the police car are all bad guys. This is called stereotyping. This prejudice is deeply ingrained, and it becomes a doctrine and a reason. A conclusion drawn from a wrong logical starting point is believed to be true. What is this called? The story is built on a lie, and a belief in a lie out of a prejudice, and when the prejudice takes power, the prejudice turns into persecution, and the good people turn into beasts. That black police officer, trying hard to find out the facts and eliminate misunderstandings. It is not difficult to eliminate misunderstandings. It is easier said than done to eliminate stereotypes. In the end, the truth has become meaningless. The matter is not as simple as being wronged, but the dignity of being a human being. Being trampled on, the black police officer realized later that today and yesterday are two different things. Human nature remains unchanged, prejudice will exist, no matter where you are, whether it is a "city of God" or a "land of freedom", defending freedom, this is easier said than done?
In any case, America is the most veritable free nation in the world. The United States has no prejudice in the system. Americans do not believe in people. Americans only believe in the cash register, because the cash register has no prejudice and no desire. In fact, American humanitarianism is the most real in the world. The United States has "Amnesty International" for human rights, the United States has "absolute justice" for the death penalty, and there is an organization to find missing children in this film. This is also a kind of freedom, relying on this free country. Freedom, as we watch American self-criticism movies, let's not forget the great freedom that this nation of freedom brings.
I just want to give a heartfelt compliment to Julianne Moore, she gave a great performance, and Oscar owes her a golden statue. In the hospital scene at the beginning of the film, I naturally think of Jodie Foster's performance in the hospital in "The Complaint". In a trance, the faces of the two are so similar. And a scene in the interrogation room at the back, I can only describe it as shock. Julianne Moore taught you how to go crazy and how to cry. Comedy is difficult to perform, and tragedy is so hard to make people feel The heart-wrenching tragedies are even more valuable. If Oscar really turns a blind eye, then they can be said to be blind from the heart, more completely blind than Hua Manlou.
Samuel Jackson says in the video, "It's four-fifty-five in the afternoon." I glanced at my watch and it was four-fifty-five in the afternoon, so weird.
