Typical small people movies, with very small cuts. The theme is probably to criticize the evil capitalist system that does not treat people as people, that hospitals do not treat people when they are sick, and that insurance companies cannot provide protection when people encounter major disasters. The bureaucracy of the insurance company and the mercenary of the hospital make people hopeless. The so-called American dream is as illusory as a cartoon movie for ordinary laborers, and the desperate little John cannot be guided by God. Faced with the possibility of his son losing his life at any time, and the roar of his wife mixed with anger and despair, the little man John finally chose to take the risk. In fact, we often see the scene after the police arrive in many movies: there are a group of cowardly local police officers with guns, plus SWAT with outstanding ability, set up sniper points at suitable locations, and then the same negotiation process , the sheriff or negotiator outside did everything possible to stabilize the mood of the mob, and the mob inside demanded a helicopter in order to escape. In the United States, where transparent media is developed, well-known reporters go to the forefront to report for the people, so the thugs can also see themselves on TV. The realistic result is that the thugs commit suicide under strong psychological pressure or are killed by snipers in full view of the public. Of course, if the thugs wear the aura of the protagonist, they will definitely escape in a way that everyone can't think of (in fact, it must be unrealistic) . The situation here is a bit special. The mob's request makes people laugh and cry: the little guy John only asked to list his son on the list of accepting heart donation, so John won the "hostage" and the sympathy and support of the onlookers. John's co-worker's sentence: It is shameful for a society to drive people to a state of despair. Can it be understood as an indictment against this society? (Thinking of the Xiamen bus bombing and the medical insurance system of the Celestial Dynasty, alas...) There is a saying that one should follow the right in a hurry, and the director's setting in this film is also very exciting. Several so-called hostages are more personal, except that the white man with his girlfriend is a shit, a few people in that situation calmly and objectively discuss the whole thing like a picnic and it reflects the problems of the whole system for sure Let the audience nod their heads, and the scene of the girlfriend beating her boyfriend is also very relieved. This discussion of a group of people also showed that John didn't take them as hostages, and they didn't take themselves hostages, at most, like John complaining about being hungry. The most admirable thing is that John came up with a miraculous idea: he transplanted his heart to his son—the effect was even more miraculous. Not only did he achieve his goal of treating his son’s illness, but he also managed to escape the crowd after he died. Ready to catch the guy who convicted himself. So if John even He must die smiling. However, the director played God himself and sent a suitable heart to save John's life, so that John could not die like a hero and had to watch his son's operation with handcuffs. The black man who accompanied the woman to give birth to the baby was also righteous enough. He came out with a gun and pretended that John gave an explanation to the onlookers. The ending part is sublimated like the end of a topic essay. On the whole, it is almost a criticism of the medical and insurance system in the United States, which arouses everyone's thinking.
In fact, watching this movie is mainly aimed at Denzel Washington. Denzel's performance can always move people's hearts. He can play other action movies lightly, and this movie can also be lighthearted. In addition, there is a discovery that it seems that Denzel prefers red items. In other movies, you often see red cars and the like. In this movie, it is the red phone.
