"The pace of the narrative is still too fast, why can't we really slow down the pace and deeply explore the hearts and emotions of the characters?"

In another theater in New York, the New York Times film critic Richard? Chris couldn't help frowning when he saw that the film switched to another line and only took about five minutes to describe the grief of Catherine's mother and daughter, "The film should be slower......

With Richard? Chris is different, the surrounding audience feels that the pace of the film is a little slow, not as exciting as Duke's previous films, although the emotional conflict in it can also resonate with them, but the pace is indeed slower.

This is not a purely commercial film after all, and if you want to form a three-line narrative structure, it is necessary that each line must be explained.

However, in the final analysis, a small production like "100,000 Urgent" can attract audiences, one is Duke's own appeal, and the other is the most fierce police and bandit shootout in the United States in front of the Bank of America.

To put it bluntly, most audiences walk into the theater and what they want to watch most is a shootout, and Duke has also proved with the film that this is what he is good at.

A movie can't be all gunfights, otherwise it will inevitably cause aesthetic fatigue, Duke also has to practice with the film, some of the content must be a lot, and once you want to touch the inner emotions of the characters, the pace will naturally be slow.

The film has shifted to the narration of Larry and the emir, especially the emir, which is the focus of the film.

Is this a dream depicting the emir of childhood and adolescence? Matasalinu, who, at a young age who endured the pain of a broken family and had to live with his mother in a psychiatric hospital, was like hell for a minor, and even more terrifying. He was later beaten by a sick patient and developed epilepsy......

In mainstream Hollywood films, no one is naturally a bad guy, and Emir is not only at this point today.

"He's a little pitiful."

Although she has lived a rich life since childhood, Ivanka? Trump is not a noble lady who doesn't understand anything. "There's a reason he's down to where he is now."

But no sooner had her sympathy risen than she was shattered by the emir, who had awakened from the dream, with a ruthless expression of reality.

Emir finds the medicine for epilepsy in the tin box containing the pistol and bullets, and after taking it, he gradually calms down, but when he calms down, he becomes even more cruel and terrible, he encourages Larry to rob the bank again, and begins to prepare for it.

Pistols, automatic rifles, thousands of rounds of ammunition, double Kevlar body armor, even the position of the arms and legs. They all have specially sewn double Kevlar material.

The two men vowed to grab $1 million, and mentioned in their conversation that if the police arrived or encountered other obstructions, they would be beaten into a sieve.

"It takes time for SWAT to get to the scene." "In all the robberies, the first to arrive at the scene were patrolmen and ordinary detectives, who had no automatic weapons, only pistols and a small number of shotguns. These guns don't threaten us at all......"

In order to achieve their goal of robbery, the two set out to find a suitable bank and cash truck.

"What is this doing?"

saw the video and switched to the police officer Michael's side. Richard? Chris's brows furrowed even tighter, "Why don't you dig deep into the inner world of the criminal, since you have made an explanation, you should continue to dig, instead of just touching it!" ”

However, the film just doesn't unfold the way he thinks.

The relationship between Officer Michael and his daughter seems to be about to break down at any moment. But he didn't care about these now, and was busy probing every clue of the robbery, and all of them were telling him that those two bandits who had no humanity would also rob.

Richard? Chris wants to see the inner world of the bandits. also explained, but just like he thought, many things are a little touch, such as the two of them are gymnastizers, and the distance between the family environment and happiness that they grew up in is about as far as that from the United Kingdom to the United States.

But Jean Richard? Chris is dissatisfied that every time he describes the hearts and past events of the bandits, the film will then explain their preparations for the next robbery, using the cold and cruel reality to break the little sympathy that the audience has just risen.

"It's all about catering to the mainstream audience, to cater to the needs of the California state government and the Los Angeles County Police Department!" Richard? Chris is a little angry, the film can completely flip the characters and make some defenses for the two people, so as to reveal the deep social problems in the United States, "The director must have an independent mind!" Have the spirit of dedication for the sake of art! ”

Obviously, Duke doesn't have that spirit, including Spielberg and James, exactly? The vast majority of directors, including Cameron, don't have this spirit, and with the exception of some directors in the independent film industry who like to talk to themselves, everyone else is catering to the needs of mainstream society, not fighting against it.

And if Duke really followed Richard? Chris's idea to make a film, what awaits him as a first-line director? It must be the unanimous bombardment of the mainstream media!

And the good relationship he had with the Los Angeles County Police Department from the time of "Life and Death" will also break down!

In this country, the law seems to be very fair, but in fact, everyone understands that whether it is the police department or various institutions, there are also many shady scenes in it.

Borrowing the film to overturn the case or speak for the two gangsters who have long been characterized? Or even just to elicit sympathy? Duke had never intended to do so.

Therefore, after explaining the past of the bandits, he will always use the reality that the other party is planning another shocking robbery to remind the audience that they deserve it!

"They deserve to be killed!"

Richard? Around Chris, many viewers are talking like this, and the face of this famous film critic is a little unsightly.

No matter what he thinks, he can't change the plot progress of the film.

At her husband's funeral, Catherine and Luta's mother meet the police officer Michael again, and in the face of this family that has been so sad that there are no tears, Michael can only dryly promise that the murderer will be caught.

But Michael has not yet found the murderer, and he is faced with another problem, he returns home to find that his daughter is actually smoking Gu. Ke alkali!

The conflict between father and daughter completely broke out, the stubborn personality and the professional relationship he engaged, he insisted on sending his daughter Lily to a drug rehabilitation institution, and when the two quarreled fiercely, he received a call to find a clue and had to temporarily leave home to pay attention to the case.

"Have you ever cared about me? You've never cared about me! ”

Looking at her father's distant back, Lily's eyes were full of disappointment, "You only have work in your eyes, I am not your relative, your relative is L.A.P.D!" ”

She sat on the sofa in pain, even if she was sent to the reinment center by her father, she felt better than now.

Michael's partner found a clue, and Michael analyzed that the bandits might rob a bank in North Hollywood, but this kind of analysis without evidence must not be supported by his boss, North Hollywood is one of the busiest areas in Los Angeles, and no one can lock down this area based on speculation.

However, the head of the police department has also decided to send surveillance helicopters to the area at dawn tomorrow.

On the other side, Larry and Emile have already decided to rob the cash truck of the Bank of America the next day, and they are indifferently making preparations.

At home full of grief, Catherine plans to take her daughter to the Bank of America tomorrow to deal with her husband's financial problems.

At dawn, Michael made a phone call home, made sure Lily was still home, and drove his car into the North Hollywood area with his partner.

It was the last Friday of February, and the North Hollywood area was as busy as ever, and the Bank of America on Rower Valley Avenue had not yet opened, so Catherine drove in, but Luta didn't want to go into the bank, and Catherine told her daughter to leave her in the car and walk towards the bank by herself.

Not far away, a white Chevrolet sedan slowly pulls up in front of the bank, and Larry and Emile are even more bloated than at the beginning of the film, with drummed AK47s in the back seat waiting for the cash truck to arrive.

On Laurier Valley Boulevard, Michael was dressed in civilian clothes, and his partner drove past in front of the Bank of America, but stopped because of road congestion, they didn't find anything unusual, and after getting in touch with the helicopter in the air, they learned that there was a car accident nearby, and there was a big congestion in the North Hollywood area.

At the Los Angeles County Police Department, James, a black police officer, has just received his weapons and equipment and is ready to start a day of routine training with his SWAT team.

In the Los Angeles community, Lily, who had been on the couch for a night, slowly woke up, went to the bathroom to wash up, turned on the TV, and the main person of ABC TV was taking an overhead shot of a helicopter in the sky to talk about the bad traffic situation in Los Angeles.

It was an ordinary morning, and it looked so flat that no one realized that a shocking case was about to take place that would shock the nation.

Richard? Chris looked at his watch, the movie had only passed more than 50 minutes, and the director had actually reserved 40 minutes for the shootout! This is simply an unforgivable mistake!

The film should be written in a longer way about the psychological changes of the characters, rather than a messy shootout!

This is a film based on facts, Duke? Rosenberg is simply wasting the subject matter!

He was a little angry, but the audience around him was full of expectations, they knew the director's ability to control the big scene, and they also knew the tragedy of this real shootout, and they wanted to see what the shootout on the screen would be like earlier?

"The multi-line narrative structure at the front is a little bit dragged."

Waiting for the final climactic scene to come, Jane? Lauder said to Ivanka, "But the past and present experiences of the robbers are used to show the cruelty and ruthlessness of the robbers, which is not bad, and the foreshadowing scenes in front of it look at least not stuffy, although the pace is a little slower, but it is much better than the movies that are so long that they make people sleepy with the foreshadowing of the line of fire."
