7.5/10
"Synrena" was selected as one of the 10 best films in the United States this year, which makes sense. Liberal directors and cast members reported the current world political situation to the American people through a political thriller. The significance is great, the means are simple, and the effect varies from person to person.
The pace of the film is very fast, there are many characters, and 4 clues are parallel. The plot is difficult to describe in one or two sentences. In 2 hours, it is not easy to express such a major theme through the events experienced by several small people with different identities. Because there are many characters, complicated relationships, many dialogues, and fast subtitles, it is easy to lose information and cause confusion in the first time. I specially drew a picture of the relationship between the characters, which can be regarded as a kind of fun in watching this film.
The screenwriter and director of "Xin" really see their skills. Seeing the big in the small, the narrative style of multi-thread parallelism has always been the strength of American genre movies, which is undoubtedly revealed in this film.
4 clues.
Clue 1:
CIA agent BOB played by George Clooney. In order to protect the oil interests of the United States, the CIA asked BOB to assassinate the Prince Nasir of the Middle East.
Clue 2:
Geneva oil analyst Bryan (Matt, Dimon) approached the Prince Nasir of the Middle East due to a son's accident and became his economic adviser. Holding the same political ideals as "Lawrence of Arabia", assisting Prince Nasir.
Clue 3:
Bennett, investigator of the U.S. Department of Justice, investigated the case of Conex, a U.S. oil giant with huge economic power in the Middle East, annexing Killen, another U.S. oil company. In order to prevent improper methods used in the merger process, threatening the fairness of transactions and the US economy.
Clue 4: An
unnamed Pakistani worker was fired because a Chinese company entered the Middle East to take over Conex's oil business. Poverty and dignity forced the young man to rely on religion to find himself. Al Qaeda successfully absorbed him and became a human bomb.
Although these 4 clues are either parallel or intersecting. But in the end they are tightly connected to one point. The key figure is Prince Nasir. It is this character that feels a bit of pulling the whole body.
Prince Nasir hopes to establish an independent country whose economic behavior should serve the needs of the market, not the Americans. He accepted the Chinese bid for high oil prices, and the American company was tragically eliminated. Nasir's reforms touched the economic interests of the United States and the economic interests of the US oil oligarchs. The result was a series of retaliation. And behind this behavior, the fate of everyone involved in this incident is closely linked.
Although liberal directors strive to seek justice in the film, they are also full of reflection. For example, Nasir is portrayed as a reformist prince with ideals and ambitions; Matt Dimon’s role as an economic adviser is even more idealistic and naive like "Lawrence of Arabia"; it is also helpless for judicial investigators to turn to the interests of the company. For instance, the nameless body bomb also received sympathy. As for the CIA agent BOB, it is a consistent hero image of justice and humanity in American movies. The image of the United States in the film is ugly, but it is also worthy of understanding-this is for the benefit of the United States. Only the Chinese who challenged the world order became the bane of sin.
The Chinese factor must be mentioned in the film. In fact, the film coincides with the view that "all the results are made by the Chinese alone."
If the Chinese do not come to buy oil at high prices, there is no need for the Americans to let the CIA "fixed points" to choose China as the partner of Prince Nasir.
If Chinese people do not come higher price of oil, US oil companies would not have to risk buying oil fields in Central Asia through the dirty, non-commercial means to make up for losses
if the Chinese do not come higher price of oil, lower oil workers do not have unemployment, which led to their participation base Organize to retaliate.
resignedly! This is the American worldview.
Both FQ and the public should sit down and watch this movie to understand the world situation.
In addition, let's talk a little bit off topic. The narrative ability of American movies is really superb. 120 minutes, so many characters, so many clues. To be able to tell the story so compactly, it should be said that the skill of the screenwriter is very good. In fact, the recent re-emergence of the American television industry, the screenwriter team is not inferior to this film. "Desprated housewives", "Grey's Anatomy", "Prison break" and so on all rely on scripts to win. Multiple clues, multiple characters in parallel, create suspense and solve suspense. It has become a magic weapon for the American television industry. Relying on excellent scripts, it has the momentum to surpass the film industry.
In the past year, almost no Chinese director had a film that could tell the story well. Not to mention the multi-line stories like "Sirna" and "Crash". After much deliberation, last year's domestically produced films were only "Waiting Alone" still qualified on the basic standard of "storytelling". Unfortunately, director Wu Shixian is still half "Made in America."
