No one is the savior

Leave me and be your savior.

I don’t understand politics and don’t like politics. I know that everything Tessa has done is righteous, and she has done everything she can for the people of Africa. But I really don't like her, even a little disgusted. You must also pay attention to methods and methods. You neither wear your underwear outside, nor put it on your head, nor do you fly back and forth with spider webs. You are just an ordinary person. Why do you think of yourself as an almighty god? You say that this is your ideal, your lifelong pursuit, then you should pursue it yourself, why marry, and then treat your husband as nothing. It's the reason why you made a big noise in the lecture hall just to get Justin's attention, and the passionate night after that was just to be able to go to Africa to realize your ideal plan.
Can be like-minded with Arnold, go in and out. Even in the hospital you told Sandy about your suspicions, but why didn't you tell your closest person. When talking to Sandy in the hospital, he deliberately distracted her husband, and whispered to Arnold at home, but Justin was behind his back. Arguing with her husband in front of others. All this does not take into account the feelings of the lover at all. A person who even hurts the person who loves you the most has any qualifications to be the savior. And when I heard what she said to read the letter at Sandy's house, I could only say, if I were Justin, I would never forgive this woman in my life.
Women, please remember that while you are a defender of justice, you are also the wife of a man.


I have no home, Tessa is my home

There is no need for Justin to apologize for suspicion of Tessa. I think all men will doubt if their wives act like this. The two met quite accidentally. Judging from Justin's "thank you for the wonderful gift" and Tessa's reaction to go to Africa with him, maybe Justin thought that the passion after meeting him and Tessa was just overnight. However, he fell headlong. Tessa was too aggressive and the investigation was too blatant. He blatantly contradicted all the officials at the banquet, and it was a matter of time before he was killed. But Justin resolutely gave up everything to defend his wife, which really moved people. Justin has such a gentle and kind temperament, but can burst out such a strong motivation, love is really the most miraculous thing in this world.


Do good deeds, use good methods

Tessa spent time and effort to expose Dypraxa, but did she succeed? No. In this battlefield without gunpowder, it is not more bravery, but more tactics. If you get a little piece of evidence, you will yell and tell all the enemies that I am investigating you, so you should be careful. It's only strange that you will succeed, no one will fight with you with a bayonet. I wonder if she studies law.


The gap between the rich and the poor squeezes

whether humans in the third world are born equal. In the past, governments in developed countries would wantonly bully innocent civilians in weak and small countries. Now a company in a developed country can do whatever it wants with poor people. The world is getting worse and worse. Africa has always been a testing ground for European and American powers. Human beings are not guinea pigs. When you are in a high-end restaurant discussing whether to eat sole or snow steak, shouldn't you also think about the innocent eyes waiting for expired food on the other side of the earth?

    Highly saturated colors and a very exotic soundtrack add to the film a lot. Movies with political themes always give people a stereotype of staying away. However, this film attempts to use a suspenseful approach to tell a story full of humanistic care. But forgive me not to agree with the director's narrative methods, the procrastination and mess in the second half weakened the tension of the drama. The ending still has a sublimation theme. Does Oscar always favor films with political appeals?

    Quite a serious film, the plot and shots are so depressing that people can't breathe. It can't be enjoyed as an entertainment film, but it's great as a documentary-style film.
