Give kindness a reason to exist

Jack is not dead because this is a movie.
If this is a real incident, he is mostly lying in the morgue waiting for his relatives to claim it.
The difference between real life and movies is that real life has to develop according to its own rules and trajectories, but movies can forcibly intervene and change the results according to people's likes and dislikes.
The several anti-narcotics police in Los Angeles are just a microcosm of the operation of the human power organization. The bad situation may not be as serious as the movie shows, but it is definitely not more optimistic than this.
Jack is kind, upright, and a representative of human justice, so he eventually escaped death and prevented the corrupt policemen representing abuse of power from succeeding. This American theme gave kindness a reason to exist, otherwise people would be desperate. die.
But the real situation is definitely not like this. Think about it if you were Jack, if you didn't have such a foreshadowing to save the beauty on the street, do you think you would escape the murder in the bathtub?
Think about it again, if you were so teased in a maliciously set game, would you cooperate, or did you choose to resist incompletely like Jack?
Wu Si said that China’s history tells us that the law of officialdom is to reverse the process of elimination-eliminate upright officials, and those who refuse to join forces will be squeezed out of the circle of power, or they can simply find a problem and make a fortune, so as not to prevent everyone from getting promoted. Dao, Jack’s experience mostly stems from this, and this law prevails in the power field all over the world.
If you know this truth, you will feel that the world is very dark, you will feel very desperate, you will feel that kindness is so fragile, and you will struggle weakly in the dark night without being discovered.
Therefore, the movie gives Kindness a chance to breathe, not to discourage people from discovering the truth.
In the real world, the Jacks are still the same or face the bleak ending of persecution, because there is no director who sings the main theme in life.

    Smelly policeman full of lies, good policeman insisting on justice, Denzel Washington has good acting skills

    Very awesome movie, the flat angle quick cut in a closed room is full of pressure. I thought it was a sudden jump. It turned out that the director and Alonso gave the audience and Jack a big picture together. Without the courage to stick to the principle and the courage of blood, it would be difficult to break through such a trap of disguise. Positive energy is peeled out of the mud and rotten shell, the main theme is played in the dark style, the plot is installed on the track, the story is completely unexpected, and Ethan Hawke has played a few scenes really well.
