This is the plot that suddenly touched me when I watched it for the second time. When I watched it for the first time, I just noticed it but it was not profound, because there are only a few fragments of his story. The aura of Ao's strong protagonist is covered up. Maybe because the subjective perspective will spontaneously see more details when I watch it for the second time, I just found that the few clips about this policeman are very vivid, and I also feel that he is carrying in a short story. Some meaning and weight.
Act 1
He has a son who loves to play football and a wife who lives by, and naturally prefers his son more.
When the son heard that he was going to play football with him, he excitedly urged his mother to prepare breakfast. When he was eating, his son sat next to him and pushed the apples back and forth. .
Act II
Conversation between mother and son at breakfast:
"Where's Dad?"
"Go to work"
"When will he come back?"
"do not know"
Mother and son had two breakfasts, but he wasn't there. He probably didn't return overnight. Maybe he was working, more likely he was transporting drugs, but the son obviously missed him a lot, and naturally hoped that he would come back to play football with him as soon as possible.
Act Three
When he was still in bed, his son couldn't wait to bring breakfast. He asked "Is it spicy?", and his son replied "Of course." Obviously, his son was already familiar with the process. He wanted him to play football with him. Of course, he also accepted.
However, when his son was curious to touch the gun, his always loose tone suddenly became stern: "Never touch it"
A few simple words are both his teachings to his son and the embodiment of his father's love. He knows what the gun represents in that city. The days of licking blood at the edge of a knife are not what he wants his son to experience, so he reprimands his son like a natural reflex. The second time I saw it, I felt that the chilling and coldness of the whole film was accurately conveyed by these few words, and at the same time, it also coincided with his ending, and felt a strong sense of fate.
finale
After Benicio kidnapped him, I could see his fear, but he didn't say don't kill me, he just said "I have a son", the first thing that comes to mind at the moment of life and death is the son.
But so what, Benicio said to him indifferently, "Everything you are doing now is for your family." "The Territory of Wolves"), there is no law or morality, only the fittest survives. Even if they are stronger than Benicio, his wife and daughter are still slaughtered.
So in the end he was dead, and the red light at the back of Benicio's car faded into the night, as if nothing had happened. This death in this city is nothing at all, there is nothing special about him, just like the other people who were killed in the film, all sins will eventually be buried in the night, because this is the fate of living in this border city .
The next day, my son still stood in front of his bed as usual. It was the same night of no return for my son. The difference was that my son would never wait for him to come back to play football with him.
