Bravery on the Deadly Island——Identification of Patriotism

The state has many levels, the basic concept is the nation and the people, followed by the regime and the government. The general was clearly dissatisfied with the government, but he loved the country with the concept of the people and the nation. Patriotism, the content of each person's emphasis is different.

In the 1990s, I shot a lot of films about patriotism and conflicts between state power and individuals. In addition to bravely rushing to the deadly island, there is also a spy movie. They are all skeptical of the regime. Patriotism is often used by the regime, and the conflict between the regime and the individual. Contradictory thoughts produced many works of that era.

What exactly is patriotism? To defend the people and the nation, we may end up working together with the regime sometimes, and sometimes with reservations.

Patriotism, and sometimes spiritual beliefs, can stand, think and do something in this vast world. People always have to find something worthwhile to do...

Facing the corruption of the regime, it should not be confused with the nation and the state. The two concepts should not be confused. People walk in the world and must soberly believe in what they need to believe. And don't be taken advantage of, that's my motto...

    The classic of "Break into Death Island" is not only the superb acting skills of Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage, but also the perfect action movie structure in one go. There are almost no unnecessary scenes in the length of time, and the darkness of politics and the end of the heroes of the past constitute a profound depth in the content of the film.

    Rewatch. The rhythm and gimmicks of the book itself are super enough, and they accidentally affected the strange Hollywood romantic complex of the older generation of Chinese fans behind (the gimmicks that are not finished. And the light touch of the surreal conspiracy theory) Who knows that vulgarity How did the ending change the judgment of the post-70s generation of blockbusters? The car chase scene in this film is definitely the most intense in the 1990s.

The Rock quotes

  • Stanley Goodspeed: [while in the tunnels underneath Alcatraz] You enjoying this?

    John Mason: Well, it's certainly more enjoyable than my average day... reading philosophy, avoiding gang rape in the washrooms... though, it's less of a problem these days. Maybe I'm losing my sex appeal.

  • [after Mason has killed a Marine, the corpse's foot twitches]

    Stanley Goodspeed: [while in the prison morgue] You've been around a lot of corpses. Is that normal?

    John Mason: What, the feet thing?

    Stanley Goodspeed: Yeah, the feet thing.

    John Mason: Yeah, it happens.

    Stanley Goodspeed: Well I'm having a hard time concentrating. Can you do something about it?

    John Mason: Like what, kill him again?
