"Borrowing Kill" ("Collateral") is about the story about passengers.
city
Just as Shawshank Redemption puts the stage in prison, the stage of Air Force One is the presidential landline, and the Collateral stage is placed in Los Angeles - "17 Million People, The Fifth Biggest Economy In the World" city. The setting of this stage is not replaced for movie support. In Collateral, there is often a shot of the night view from half-air, or from the top height of the roof, take the lens of the taxi, and the subway compartment of Beijing in Beijing, I think this kind of means is hining Vietnam of customers. Imagine the city of "17 Million People", a night of a night, also look at the city, the same city like a shiny chessboard, what is a person's life? What kind of role is a person who is discovered in a city of Too Spraw Out, Disconnected (Vincent "in a person who died 6 hours after 6 hours of the subway. - More passengers. In the background of the city stage of Los Angeles, this film is enlarged and collided with the life of the world through a fascinating killer story.
survive
The hit is destined to become a small passenger of the huge urban, what will you choose? Regardless of the choice, you will eventually escape a frame: "I do this for a living!" (Vincent). The film starts from Vincent to the plane after the plane, through the exquisiteness of Max "Cleanest Cab in la" (Vincent) Describe the lens, as well as the dialogue that is afraid of the boss, rendering a strong "for a Living" life. Vincent's survival pressure, in his "That What I Do for a Living", "I Was Hired for Five Hits. I Did Four", especially the sentence, let me unforgettable "Max, I do this for a living! "In the roar, I made a profound show to the audience.
Class
There is a society in society. There is no doubt that from the material level, the max and Vincent sitting in the same taxi in two severation classes. Open taxi, eating burger, talking to black tone, wearing people thinking about Disney Max, holding laptops with a laptop talking on the laptop talking to the vincent, in the movie, in the movie, in their ideology Convergence. Of course, Max feels also as a grade in his Cab Driver class, Vincent strictly said that it is not an upper person. However, the difference between the film through their material level is also a hint of confrontation on the class.
Rule and breakout
Under the urban mysterious life rules, some passed the customer's safety, keeping the self-comfort, such as MAX; some passed the convention, breaking the shackles of social customs, looking for breakout for their lives, Vincent is.
Max is the representative of the authentic ace camp. His bones are satisfied with life, and even giving Vincent sadly with the spirit of the A. The guest quarreled on his car, he took out a scenery to appreciate; when MAX, he took out the picture of the luxury car to see the typical Tao Yy. He told Annie to open the company, and the spiritual comfort of "Limousine Companies" made by his mother, in front of the fact that the taxi driver career in a row, was smashed by Vincent. His symptoms are typical, representative is extensive, and he is most of the city's dome. Vincent is just in the opposite of the Max. He looks through the constraints of convention to individuals, breaking through social ethics, develops its own philosophy and firmly executes it. He said to Max "Nobody's Killed People That Fast Since Nagasaki and Hiroshima ... I Off One Fat Angeleno and You Throw a Hissfy Fit.", "Paper Towels, Clean Cab, Limo Company Someday ... ONE Night You'll Wake Up And you'll discover it never happens reflects his challenges of common sense, asking for the survival status of society universal self-paralysis.
moral
The discussion of morality is always eternal. Max and Vincent are very morality in the common sense, the audience knows. Max is a model of morality, never gives guests to the road, and take a risk of life to save an Annie, let the audience have to admit that this is the American live Lei Feng. Vincent's eyes can be murdered, and it can be difficult to face when they make up the bullets, and they will live a life. However, life gave MAX just the dream of "Limousine Companies", gave Vincent's 600 dollars, which reminded that the "feudal ethics" of the middle school "Feng Jiji is the tool of the ruling class to bind the work of the labor people."
Although the movie has made a common sense of morality through this contrast, the hints brought about by the ending - the murderous skillful Vincent is in the light after the light is off, I don't know how to use the gun MAX In, MAX came together because of his kindness and female lawyers who were not right with him. This makes me feel movie in implies a presence of a good arbitration outside humans.
Passer
Although the final ending has the meaning of "good news", I think the theme of the film is still dull. The passenger mutually ignored the subway carrying the body of Vincent disappeared in the fog of urban, the sky twilight, Max and Annie came to the street. It saw the old-oriented traffic. Welcome to this metropolis will be every day. And this evening happened, but it is a story of several passengers.
