The Foreigner is a film directed by Martin Campbell. In the
film, Jackie Chan acts as a British Vietnamese Chinese whose name is
Guan Yuming. He has been a soldier attending the Vietnam War, whose
daughter, his last family member, was killed in a terrorist attack in
London, but because of the political struggle between the United Kingdom
government and the Northern Ireland government and the fact that the
vice minister of Northern Ireland who was a member of the terrorist
organization and still keeps in touch with the controller wants to take
advantage of the attack to trade with the UK government to have better
political future, nobody cares about the dead. What’s more, some members
discover his plan and struggle with him. There are some spies around him
from the UK government and the terrorist organization. Everyone has his
or her own idea, but nobody really cares about the dead. To revenge on
the terrorist organization and the vice minister, he follows the tracks
of him, finds evidence of his errant actions and many other things, and
asks for the name list of the attackers. Finally, he manages to kill
them and post the evidence on the Internet, making the vice minister
lose everything. The story is partly a fiction, but the violent struggle
between the UK government and separatists is from the First World War to
1998 is true. This film unmasks the struggle both between the UK
government and the terrorist organization and between the terrorists.
Actuarially, without the foreigner, the UK government can still deal
with the terrorist organization. This film just shows a story about
revenge. My favourite character is Guan Yuming because of the action.
“Everybody’s here, meet, dad.” is the last saying the daughter to Guan
Yuming. Just in front of Guan Yuming, his daughter goes into the house,
and minutes later, the bomb burst. Although he immediately rushes into
the house to save his only family member. His wife and other sons and
daughters has been dead because of the family’s hard trip to the UK. You
can imagine how sad Guan Yuming is when he loses his last family member.
