When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back into you.

This sentence is a classic saying of Nietzsche, from "Beyond Good and Evil", the original text: "When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks into you."

Think of it The plot of the movie "Fury: Crime" shows how several policemen became criminals. While watching it, I was surprised and puzzled: What was their purpose in doing this?

Good and evil are just a matter of thought.

In an operation to rescue kidnappers, because of an order from the boss: "Rescue the kidnapped people no matter what," and a supplementary sentence: "Whatever happens, I will protect you." . ”

As a result, they forgot their identities and responsibilities, and dealt harshly with criminals, resulting in crimes. Thinking that with the support of their superiors, they can do whatever they want and cross legal boundaries.

But in court, the opposite happened.

The boss said: "I just gave orders to complete the task, not what to do."

The rescued person said: "There is no need to kill."

A comrade who had been through life and death, faced the lawyer's question: "Did you see them doing it with your own eyes?" He could not ignore his conscience, so he had to answer "yes".

In this way, six elite police officers were sent to prison and sentenced to five years because of this mistake and because they did not receive the protection promised by their superiors.

In the face of the law, merit is not worth the demerit. As long as you do something wrong, you will be punished accordingly.

However, if you cannot overcome this hurdle and fall into the abyss, you will be unable to extricate yourself and sink deeper and deeper!

After these police officers became prisoners, they felt that they had not been treated fairly and saw the indifference and callousness of human nature. In the face of interests, everyone only protects themselves, regardless of the life or death of others.

There was a comrade who couldn't bear the end he ended up trying to save others. He didn't want to face the facts and chose to end his life.

As a result, the other five comrades lost their minds in anger, were occupied by extremely negative thoughts, and triggered the devil switch in their hearts.

After being released from prison, they launched an act of revenge, wiping out their bosses who did not speak for them in court, the bank executives who were rescued, and even their comrades-in-arms.

Stare into the abyss for too long, and the abyss stares back.

Once you fall into the abyss, there is no way back.

The oath he made when he joined the army became meaningless, and he went further and further away from the path of justice.

These five police officers were all once messengers of justice, fighting to protect citizens and fight for a peaceful homeland.

However, because their own interests have been violated, because they are not treated fairly by others, they hold an unbalanced mentality of resentment and greed, and hate the world. As they stare into the abyss, they also bury themselves in the abyss. !

In the end, one by one was shot to death on the way to escape, ending the wrong path.

In the last scene, before police officer Ao (played by Nicholas Tse) fell, he said to his former comrade-in-arms the king (played by Donnie Yen): "If our mission had been transferred back, the ending would be different now. Won’t he be transferred here too?”

No, even if he is transferred here to carry out the task, the king will not beat the criminal to death ruthlessly.

Because he enforces the law impartially and can withstand temptations and threats, even in front of his superiors, he sticks to his principles and firmly supports the way of justice.

Everything has two sides. Where there is positive there is negative, where there is yin there is yang.

Without terrible depth, there would be no beautiful water surface.

In the recent "Zero Tolerance" broadcast by CCTV, the corrupt officials said the same thing during their self-reflection: "What do I need so much money for? I don't have to worry about food or clothing."

Everyone has an insatiable nature. If it is not restrained and restrained, it is possible to commit evil acts.

When you are full of positive energy, the abyss will naturally not appear.

When you see an abyss, you either don't stare at it and are not affected by it, or you glare and run away.

Evil cannot defeat good. The angel within will eventually defeat the devil, drive away the darkness, and usher in the dawn.
