Break the good and show you Stillwater 12/30/2021
This movie tells a very interesting story. After the movie, the two of us discussed for a while whether Allison really abetted the crime, why he chose to tell Akim after 5 years, and if Bill knocked him unconscious and took the DNA sample The ending story leads to a happy ending.
I feel like the story itself teaches us, leave it to the professionals. Bill should choose to borrow the 12,000 euros and settle and work in Marseille and slowly repay it. Second, Bill should ask a lawyer early in the morning whether he can release his daughter if he proves reasonable doubt, or if the murderer must be caught. Of course, Bill should also turn to foreign agencies like the US embassy for help, but either he is not capable of such legal aid, or he disdains or distrusts official sources and chooses to go it alone (reckless) - both It fits his character set--or perhaps the official doesn't offer such a service, and at the end of the film, the governor (or Mayor of Stillwater?) takes the credit for himself as a hypocritical politician.
Many small details of the film are also well grasped, and many places naturally show the gap between people, or between one group and another caused by the stereotypes of today's society: at the beginning, the heroine Virginie only speaks French arrogance. (She said her friend is a bad influence explanation is a bit sly and a bit cute.) Her friends wondered if Bill voted for Trump or if he was robbed, Bill sipped a "yes sir" "yes ma'am" and the dinner table Prayer and his drinking, committing crimes, and being unable to vote "contrasted", the "white left" of a considerable number of people in France, and the deep-rooted rejection of immigrants by others, these are the true portrayals of modern society. In contrast, Bill's never abandoning his daughter, Virginie's sincere acceptance of Bill, and Bill and Maya's sincere feelings are so precious, which makes the ending of the story even more heartbreaking.
The actors did a great job. Matt Damon showed Bill's repression and introverted and complicated feelings for himself and the people around him. The scene where Allison burst into tears at the end was distressing, and the little girl was especially cute and sincere. Marseille is so beautiful, but it is very helpless to have such areas as "slums" and "drug dealers".
