i did see quite a few obviously symbolic scenes (e.g. veronica raising the torch/burning down the crematorium/airplanes flying over in the end) but it's still lazy and too shallow of a "revenge fantasy" when it could've activated a genuine conversation about race and inequity, instead of just trivializing veronica's victimization & idealizing her success. and for that reason i'm disappointed
檢討美國的立場是明確(作為另一後911美國電影),但以hyperlink cinema形式所展開的關係圖像是繁複、未簡化、彼此扣連著的:Nasir王子vs Matt Damon飾演的分析師、George Clooney飾演的CIA探員、被吸收成自殺炸彈客的失業巴基斯坦移工、調查石油公司併購案的黑人律師。片中說的是伊朗(真正有想法的國王長子,不願遵從美國政商設下的遊戲規則而被狙殺——不難揣想理由就是給他安上「偷吃(高H)」罪名,沒想法的次子繼位成為傀儡),但或許影射的更是現在進行式的伊拉克。中國作為正在崛起的競爭者。
