The movie we are going to talk about today-"Strategic Secret Service" is not as straightforward as the title, but it is also more in-depth, but the difference is that this movie is too depressing and the topic is also very sensitive. It is surprising that it can be released in China.
As we all know, China has stricter security controls. This is also the first condition for China to become one of the safest countries in the world. The topic of the movie "Strategic Secret Service" is about counter-terrorism, and the screen is a bit violent and bloody. . So why can this movie be released in China? I personally think it is because of the excellent plot of the movie and the thought-provoking topic.
"Strategic Secret Service" Douban scored 7.9. It was released in China in 2011. The film is 97 minutes long. It is directed by Greg Jordan and starred by Mike Sheen and Samuel Jackson. The main story in the film is The different reflections of people in front of human nature, and what follows is what is justice? Is the justice of sacrificing the minority in exchange for the lives of the masses correct? Is human nature really worthless in front of many lives? These are worth considering by anyone. In the film
, Young was a criminal who carried out a terrorist attack. He carried out this terrorist attack because of his beliefs. He placed three nuclear bombs in three cities in the United States. After his arrest, the urgent task for the US military is to He learned from his mouth where these nuclear bombs were.
He was tortured during the torture by the police and the military, and he was constantly humiliated both mentally and physically, but in the process of interrogation he faced people-humanity or justice.
is more straightforward and makes it more difficult to make a choice: "If you can only choose one of the lives of a family or the lives of thousands of people, how do you choose?", many people may say that I choose to sacrifice A person, if this is the case, they are also worthy of death, but when the life and death of that person is really in control, we can know what justice is!
For a person who is abandoned, you are a heinous bad person. You have no right to decide the life and death of anyone. On the moral level, if you don’t choose to abandon that life to save thousands of lives If you do, you are still a sinner.
This seems to be an unsolvable paradox, no matter how you choose it is wrong, which also makes this movie look weird.
In the film, H is a man called "abnormal and neurotic" by female agents. On the contrary, he uses cruel methods to save other innocent people. He uses torture to persecute Yang Ge, even Using Young's wife and children to threaten him, although these behaviors were acquiesced by the government, it seemed to the people next to them that they were no different from terrorists.
When facing two innocent children, H's choice is to fight for justice, so in the face of justice and humanity, how should I choose? Abandoning humanity for justice to abuse children and women? Threaten him with the lives of his relatives? Why do people who are equally innocent suffer such unfair treatment?
And the most terrifying thing is that if you agree with H, then it means that you and Young’s ideas are no different. A few innocent people are used to exchange the lives of most innocent people, and Young’s actually did so. , A terrorist attacker. What's more terrifying is that if you deny H, then you are a selfish person. You have given up most people's lives because of your emotions, and you will be cast aside and abused.
As mentioned above, this topic is heavy and difficult to choose, and the torture in the movie also makes people shiver. Shengsheng chopped off his fingers, pulled out Yang Ge's nails with pliers, wetted Yang Ge and then hung up and shocked him with an electric baton. The whole process kept Yang Ge awake, and the whole experience of this process was extremely cruel.
In fact, the editor himself thinks that such a situation makes people the charm of the movie itself. It is difficult to choose that makes people think deeply. The cruelty makes people fall into thinking. Until the end of the movie, the editor is thinking about what justice is. ? Who won this war? What does this movie express to people?
A series of questions come to my mind along with the progress of the movie, all the questions can’t be answered in the movie, all of them may be interpreted in the movie, and each result will not have a good end. These questions have not been answered before, so they will be interpreted, allowing the audience to make choices involuntarily, but overturn them one by one.Every overthrow is thought-provoking, and every conversation makes the cerebral cortex active. After watching a movie like
, it will take a breath, but it also makes people feel unfinished. Such complex emotions are really beyond words, so I hope that friends who read this article must have time if they have time. Go and experience it. The editor of
personally believes that there are naturally different answers from different perspectives. Each approach cannot be absolutely correct, and there is no absolute error. For Young, what he has to do is to sacrifice some people in the United States. Save the entire world and use threats to the US government to withdraw troops to achieve the purpose of armistice.
For H, his job is to get Young to tell the location of the bomb and use all means to protect American citizens, but he is condemned in terms of human nature. But the female agent stood on the human side. She couldn't just watch H torturing two young and ignorant children. It was cruel and inhuman.
Different positions have different results, but everyone is insisting on their own choices. In their hearts, right and wrong are still clear. No one or anything can shake their inner persistence. Similarly, everyone is right because of their position. It’s also because everyone’s position is wrong. In this environment, the question itself is actually the answer. This is my personal understanding of this movie. At the end of the
movie, and the most disintegrating part, the fourth bomb really exists. As the countdown to the bomb ends, the movie is over. The director left a big suspense for everyone, can you tell right from wrong at that moment? This kind of psychological appearance shows my views on the film, and I have already entered the game unknowingly. And everyone who has seen here, have you watched this movie? What is your opinion? Comments are welcome.
