I remember that in a small class English assignment, there was a question that went like this: "If you had the opportunity to choose a city to live in, which city would you choose the least?" My answer at the time was Chicago, the city known as the "City of Crime." Even if I lived my life with great care, I could die overnight, which was terrible. And today, a cool film that Yu Meng wants to recommend to you is a story that happened in Chicago - "Tiger Courage Pursuit".
Paul. Dr. Cauchy (Bruce. When Willis's wife and daughter are robbed and his beloved wife dies, his attitude throughout his life changes. He began to take the initiative, looking for possible criminals in the dark streets of Chicago to punish them, he bought a large number of weapons, and began to maintain society and peace in his own way. This bloody and violent act does sanction crimes on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also confuses people about this mysterious city hero.
The emergence of urban heroes did not happen overnight, but the accumulation of long-term criminal incidents, coupled with the incompetence of law enforcement officers. Because the incident finally happened to the person concerned one day, it became a straw that crushed the camel.s.
First, let's explore why Chicago in the film has such a high crime rate! In fact, the film does not mean to smear Chicago, it is completely telling the truth.
Today's Chicago is actually a rebuilt city, because in 1871 there was a very serious fire, which led to the burning of the main city of Chicago, which is the famous Chicago Fire in history. Later, the newly built city coincided with the period of economic take-off in the United States, probably around the time of the so-called "Coolidge Boom", so in a very short period of time, Chicago erected high-rise buildings. But at the same time as the rapid development, the flames of crime are also brewing.
One of the most important reasons for Chicago's high crime rate is the high number of blacks, who make up 38 percent of the population. Of course, this is definitely not racial discrimination, and it is not black people who cause a general increase in crime. But because blacks in the nineteenth century were generally poorly educated and had difficulty finding jobs, they were reluctant to go to work honestly. You think of a bunch of black people who have nothing to do all day, and they are especially able to have children, and there is no way to support their families without going to the wrong door. The older generation is abducted and kidnapped to rob life, and there is no consciousness to educate the next generation, so it will continue in such a vicious circle.
At the beginning of the film, it is to introduce such a city, where crime accidents occur frequently, waves of unevenness and rise, and the crime rate soars. The black background, the sound of various telephones, the sound of ambulances, shrouded the city. Before the picture of the film was revealed, there was this series of introductions, which made the audience have to watch with bated breath.
But then it cut to a picture of a family of three enjoying themselves, and the daughter was admitted to the school of her choice. The three members of the family laughed at each other. This warm image is incompatible with the sense of oppression and tension at the beginning of the film.
The director is indeed very talented, how warm the family is, how bad the crime is, and this great contrast has made the city produce a "guardian angel."
From the beginning of the road is uneven, drawing guns to help each other, to eliminating the known evil forces in the back, and finally finding out the murderer of his wife. The effects of this process are both positive and negative. It is precisely because of the presence of guardian angels in this city that the crime rate in this city has dropped for the first time. But there are more people who advocate guardian angels, and they act without measuring their abilities.
The whole film does not fully endorse Dr. Cauchy's private law enforcement, which is illegal after all. As can be seen from the discussion on the radio, the suffering masses, the sensibilities, are grateful for the guardian angel's behavior, and they simply regard it as an idol. Rational people think that this behavior is illegal, and if a culture is formed in a city, there is no need for laws, and many people will follow this behavior. Then the city will become more chaotic. This is one of the reasons why Dr. Cauchy, the guardian angel code name, eventually chose to disappear.
The biggest highlight of the film is Dr. Cauchy's front and back as a guardian angel, buying guns, installing guns, and taking away hoodies. From the very beginning, he will not shoot, and he will hurt himself, to the back of the game, expressionless. As a cool film, it is enough. These classic scenes also remind me of Leon in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", but people are professional killers, and Dr. Cauchy is just asking for the people's lives.
Judging by Cauchy's tough guy and fatherly image alone, the film is a success, but the film is full of all kinds of clichés of the "volunteer police" type of film, and the director tries to give the audience a subversive look and feel, but eventually becomes more bloody in the opposite direction.
However, friends who focus on entertainment to watch this movie are still "cool" and full of flavor, which really makes you realize what male hormones are bursting.
