A child disappeared, and then nearly a hundred police officers came to block off the entire area where the prisoner might be hiding. Residents in the town were prohibited from going out, including the sick to seek medical care, and children to go to school, unless the residents handed over the prisoner. This kind of plot seems familiar to us who are used to watching movies about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but it is a bit fresh to appear in American blockbusters.
The contradiction between the lower classes of society and the state apparatus has always been difficult to reconcile, and with the addition of racism, it is even more complicated. On the surface, peace and harmony cannot hide the existence of the contradiction. Just throw a pebble on the lake, and it will be rolled up immediately. Shocking waves.
Brenda's lie is this little pebble. Her ill-fated past has kept her psychological loneliness in a dominant position. It seems that everyone is passing by. There has never been another person in her life until the arrival of her son. Life has changed from worthless to worthwhile, because there is someone who needs her. Being needed can make a weak person strong.
In a family, a woman is the happiest, because she can be the strong one who protects and educates her children; she can also be the weak one who has her husband's arm to protect her from the wind and rain. But for Brenda, her sadness lies in the conflict between these two feelings. When her son prevents her from enjoying the other, she is forced to choose one. She has been a dependant for four years, and naturally she cannot resist the She has been missing another emotional craving for a long time, so she began to drink cough syrup for her son (will overdrinking cough syrup cause children to die? If there are professionals who hope to enlighten me, is it the legendary federal cough syrup), It's just hateful and pitiful to spend more time with my lover.
But it seems that the intention of the film is not that, what the directors see is a bigger conflict, a conflict in the whole society. In the end, the armed fight broke out between the residents and the police, and it broke out after the truth was revealed, which shows that this kind of contradiction is inherently existing between two classes, and other things are just the fuse of its occurrence, not its occurrence. reason.
