Florentyna23, Though I see/appreciate your thoughts regarding each crime being viewed as though it was the worlds 1st, because in the West-read America, one is SUPPOSED to be Innocent until proven guilty.
And I understand that you're trying to stop groups of vigilantes from running rampant and performing thier own brands of extreme prejudice on wayward dupes who might have accidentally just pursenapped from the chruch lady.
I hardly think "The Flock" is such a literary scren gem that it will serve as instruction or inspiration of any sort. If you haven't noticed. Almost uniformly everyone that's seen it, has knocked it-including myself for various reasons.
If this 'literary masterpiece' <snarf> serves as anything, I'm sure it'll end up being a shining example to the next generation of film makers of how not to be so danm dramatic, angsty and intentionally trumped up reactionary.
You're using Western (I presume) tastes in viewing this film. And you're expecting something far superior, I know I was, when they said Andy Lau-the director of the original Mou Gaan Dau (Infernal Affairs) was directiong it.
But then I realized it wasn't written by the same team. No it was written by Craig Mitchell & Han Bauer-yeah the one that one the 1998 Razzie for his script for Anaconda---NEED I SAY MORE?
So you can see why I'm finding it EXTRA hillarious that 'anyone' is up in arms about this film and it's more than obvious exagerations and even charicatures of 2dimensional criminals?
Come on a 'real jounalist' is saying this movie is so true to life? Of course it is. Even American directors get shafted with crummy scripts, but somehow land pretty good actor/ess/s.
Do I on annother topic think there are real sick people in the world? Yes.
I also believe in capital punishment. You're talking about someone changing, and yes, you're right, I believe in forgiveness & change as well, but tnose are a different sort than kind of perps the journalist and I were talking about.
Those aren't the people that are going to change. I specifically said REPEAT Offenders.
Hence no 3rd chances or our taxes paying for thier life inprisonment in over filled jails-where they get 3square meals daily, but we have homeless street people w/ no shelter or food who never harmed another living soul in thier lives.
Some street people are displaced because of domestic violence, being runaways, being neglected-abandoned-mistreated, or because of psych reasons they can't keep a job & lost thier home, or say all those survivors of mass destruction-Hurricane Katrina comes to mind..not all homeless are just addicts or drunks.
I only extrapolated on that fact, I'm sure you realize that, but other posters sometimes don't think of that.
Love, Grace & Peace, Gunner
'Saat Po Long' a.k.a. 'Kill Zone's' Strike Team made me think the writer was watching Satellite TV & thought, 'You know what would make Fx's "The Shield" even better? Kung Fu!
