(The Negotiator (The Negotiator) presents conflicts and interests , To solve problems in negotiations. At the same time, it shows the qualities and skills that a negotiator should have. More profoundly, behind the open line of negotiation, the film more profoundly interprets the greed and ugliness of human nature. However, evil This is the eternal theme.
Danny is a negotiator at the Chicago Police Department. He has rescued countless hostages and also saved countless criminals. This film starts with an action by Danny and shows us that as a negotiator should Possessed qualities-good psychological qualities and rich knowledge. Negotiation experts use seemingly ordinary chatting methods, but in essence they are fighting for time to rescue the hostages, diverting the attention of the hijackers. Dog breeds; Marines The experience of the team...Sometimes this knowledge may be the key to turning the tide, or it may irritate the hijackers. At the same time, the fight between the two ace in the drama of Danny and Sabian at the back of the film also talks about Westerns. They are still in the film. Whether the actor is dead or not, at the same time, this is also a non-frontal confrontation. At the same time, psychological quality is also indispensable. At the gunpoint, people's nerves are highly nervous, which is the most test of people's psychological quality. At that time, every small mistake may trigger the nerves of the hijacker, and eventually erupt and cause catastrophe.
Throughout the film's negotiations (beginning with Danny's hijacking of Niebaum). At this time he shouted: "I'm not going to jail today!" hinting at his condition. Danny, who is well versed in negotiation strategies, finally put forward four conditions. In my opinion, finding out who killed Nate and finding out who stole the 2 million disability fund is Danny's resistance point. That is to return the truth to the facts and prove their innocence.
In terms of negotiation methods, there are three points. First, Danny, who is well versed in negotiation, asked to negotiate with Sabian. This is Danny's strategy, because he knows that if someone can kill his friend, he can also kill him, and the Chicago police are already corrupt and dark, and there are people in the police station who want to put him to death. As Danny said, Sabian was chosen because Danny is a stranger to Sabian. Only in this way can the negotiation proceed smoothly and it is possible to achieve the result Danny wants. Understand that Sabian has been negotiating for 55 hours without interruption, and refusing to use force is another reason-to protect the safety of himself and the hostages. Secondly, by expressing his relationship with the police officers, he won the sympathy of the police officers through life and death. While Sabian was on the road, Danny once again expressed his strong desire to prove his innocence and the reality of the police station killing him internally. This put pressure on this group of people, not dare to act rashly. This method worked when the commander ordered Danny to be shot and killed. Although Palermo had the best timing, he did not pull the trigger. Second, win the support of public opinion and let the pressure of the public force them to take down Danny easily. Although knowing that his seriousness in the public has become the target of unwarranted charges, Danny still allows people to think from the perspective of morality and hostage. He shouted; "I only need a little more time before they want to kill me. This is the policy of Chicago police to protect the lives of hostages to the utmost extent when rescuing hostages!" Third, find common points of interest and exchange them if necessary. As Fred Eclay wrote, common interest is a necessary condition for negotiation. Several details of the two confrontations between Danny and Sabian in the film reflect this. Before entering the room where Danny was taking the hostages, Sabian ordered the heating to be turned off, forcing Danny to exchange for a hostage. And Sabian also put forward its own request-the hostages are safe, otherwise the negotiations will be terminated. In the two negotiations, the common interest of the two people is the need to negotiate this platform. Danny needs to delay the negotiation with Sabian and find enough evidence to prove his innocence; and Sabian needs to do his best to ensure the safety of the hostages.
At the same time, the negotiation skills that are constantly reflected in the film make the film more exciting, confirming the Chinese translation of the name-Ace vs. Ace. First of all, I noticed a very interesting detail. In the negotiation, the telephone not only played a role in communication, but also became a platform for the two to fight. Danny heard the sound of Sabian's cell phone being low on battery, and knew that Sabian was still on the way and had not rushed to the municipal building within 20 minutes, and proposed to Sabian that he was capable of breaking through Sabian's tricks. Play a deterrent role. Danny pretends to kill his attacker to threaten the bad guys in the dark. After that, Sabian hung up the phone twice, and Danny called back twice to transfer the advantage of Danny's side to Sabian. Sabian said that Danny wanted him. In the second head-on confrontation, Sabian interrupted the power supply. Danny asked (want) to restore the power supply. At the same time, he asked for food and blankets to be provided to the hostages. This is why Sabian repeatedly asked Danny if he wanted him. He also said that killing the hostages would not be more beneficial to Danny, and threatened that he might interrupt the negotiation at any time and let the police outside kill Danny. Increase the bargaining chip of Sabian negotiations, so that the advantage is further transferred. In the "bargaining" between the two sides, the negotiations restarted. Danny found relevant recording evidence in Niebaum's computer and asked Sabian to seek more evidence from Nate's wife-in exchange for a hostage. However, at this time, Sabian wanted to deceive Sabian and rescue the hostages. When he thought it was all over, Danny exposed Sabian in a dramatic scene. It also brought the negotiations to a deadlock. But it also shows that Sabian went from simply trying to rescue the hostages to hoping to prove Danny's innocence at the same time. In several rounds and several psychological tug-of-wars, the two negotiators used various techniques-showing toughness, threats, scams, and debunking scams, to force the other party to ask for themselves to transfer the advantage of negotiation between the two parties.
Negotiation is a science. I have a deep understanding in this film. The conflict between the two escalated amid changes in the situation. But what allowed the negotiation to continue was the common interest of the two. One party can easily see through the techniques used by the other party, but everyone is tacitly aware and continues the negotiation. The spirituality between the two heroes finally achieved truth and justice. Coupled with the excellent performances of two heavyweight actors, the real trump card versus trump card.
Regarding this film, it is not only the negotiation that makes people impressive, but the human greed that the police station really deserves to be punished in the film, the evil that wants to kill people for profit, the indifference of facing the death of life and Danny, Sabian, Maggie -Even the seemingly villain Rudy's unremitting pursuit of justice forms a sharp contrast. Evil and good, ugliness and beauty, are obvious. It's just that in reality, too few people choose to confront, too many people choose to yield and lose their belief in life.
