The director who wants to fool the audience~

One sentence comment: The film underestimates the audience's IQ when it completes the entire story narration with an idealized attitude.
If you say that making a movie is about painting creation, then the filming of this film is no different from painting a wall. According to the established plan, the bedroom is warm, the bathroom is cool, and the walls of the hall are painted pure white... The plot is mechanically boring, and the simple humanistic care has long overridden the story. As for the heroine Intervention—because a major female character appears in the middle of the film, so let’s call it the heroine—it's nonsensical. Encountered in a cafe and deliberately created an opportunity to talk, in order to show him a little boy with autism. After the main informant was shot and the old cloth went to the bank to get the surveillance video, we saw the heroine leading the child. Coming scene. People can’t help but wonder: It took N days for Lao Bu to gain the trust of the autistic child, and this strange woman only took such a short time!
The sexuality of the two villains is puzzling. The killer's death was not caused by a bullet, but by being stabbed to death by glass shattered by a window under high pressure. We can probably understand it this way: Because it is a high-rise building, the airflow changes are strong, and the helicopter makes the glass overwhelmed. After being hit by a gun for a few holes, it shatters into a mess. But the plane and the gunfight had already begun, and the glass was broken late compared to that. This makes the killer's death really unexpected. I don't know if the director just handled it for the sake of freshness. As for the villain's official, the general situation is dying and struggling completely exposed his shady working for the director. Under the eyes of everyone, the action of holding the child is like holding a hostage, and the action of holding the child up is like throwing the child downstairs, surrounded by gun agents. Such action is undoubtedly dangerous and even more puzzling. of. The high-ranking villain wanted to get rid of the child to save his official career and his own life, but whether it was taking the child hostage or throwing him downstairs, it was not in line with his simple and natural original intention. So I still can't understand this move. Maybe the villain has figured it out and is going to burn with the children? The thoughts of dying people seem to be understood and experienced only when they are dying. In view of the fact that most of us have not yet reached the required level of appreciation, we can only trust the director's arrangement for the time being.
The performance of the child star Miko Hughs in the film is impressive. Although Lao Bu has those tragic memories or dreams that express his inner guilt and self-blame, the whole character still lacks soul. Without the aid of children's subjective lens, the protagonist's autistic performance and demeanor are completely accomplished by Miko Hughs, and it is relatively successful. How should I put it, compared with children, adults are always at a disadvantage.
Perhaps the director can pursue new ways of expression. From my personal point of view, the combination of shots seems casual. Especially in the climax part of the ending, the death process of the villain killer and the official, combined with the shooting, close combat and other scenes, but it is so loose and lacks an urgent rhythm, which makes the film look very reassuring, no Any tension, I watched the whole climax like watching sports.
As for the sensation at the end, as I said at the beginning, the director and screenwriter are full of expectations and good wishes for autistic children, especially children with autism. After N years of deliberate arrangements, the child still remembers him. A lifesaver, and gave him a trustful hug. This scene is basically prepared to show that the agent played by Laobu has completed his spiritual salvation. So as to give the film a happy ending, the prince and the princess live happily together and so on. The salvation is so vulgar!
