Scavenger: Prequel to V for Vendetta

This is actually a very desperate movie, and no one has achieved perfection. The dead begin to spread with the loss and longing after revenge; the living, with the anger and guilt after the struggle, gradually disappear...
This movie can easily remind you of "007", Ewan was arranged by the female boss Various tasks, life and death, are exactly the same as Bond. But I want to mention another movie: V for Vendetta. Ash's trajectory from a harmless college student eventually led to a terrorist achiever is similar to the process of Ivy being domesticated by V in "V for Vendetta".
The layout of "The Scavenger" is not too small, but it is not too big. It entrusts the expression of the strongest anger and dissatisfaction to a weak foreign nation that has been suppressed in the United Kingdom. This nation is murdered and indifferent. , were despised, and even ignored their protest signals, so they could only use a wave of terror signals stronger than one wave to constantly warn the world, so this kind of terrorism was spoiled and intensified.
Coincidentally, "V for Vendetta" is about the future of the United Kingdom, where power and pressure are high, and ultimately extreme resistance. In this way, "The Scavenger" is like a prequel to "V for Vendetta", but the "mainstream people" in "The Scavenger" have not been greatly oppressed, and their existence is only a source of anger and sadness for the disadvantaged. In "V for Vendetta", all the original "mainstream people" are being suppressed by totalitarianism, and everyone has become a weak person regardless of nationality, so we see that in the end, countless vendettas wearing V-like appearances flock to street. From this point of view, there is a prophetic irony between the two films!
It seems to indicate that those "innocent" non-terrorists who died in terrorist attacks are only paying the price for the world's own evil deeds, but this price is charged by terrorists to thank all sentient beings for their sins.
The whole "Scavenger" is permeated with the horror of everyone in the UK at the moment, and the screenwriter not only wants to analyze the source of this kind of horror, but also doesn't want to convey this kind of horror. He keeps reminding you that the media, politics, heroes , undercover, and even "good people" and "bad people", maybe all of them are fake, all of them are fooling the masses who are tamed like dogs and don't know it, and they are also fooled by others. Of course, this kind of hint is not new, but it fits this film and is slightly touched.
We have seen the film's reflection on terrorism, and this reflection is not from a critical point of view. It will even make you feel a little pity after you approach the spiritual realm of terrorists, and let you know their final self-destruction, each of which is a paragraph Very long, long story.
Of course, a movie is a movie after all. Turning on the TV tomorrow, we will still see wars, terrorist attacks, the police caught "bad guys", and Lei Feng is being passed down...

    Like V, but not V, are governments and terrorists really that separate? Does justice really triumph over evil? Too much politics and religious beliefs are involved, and I don't want to comment on the story itself! Ok! good action scenes
