Summary
Two hired killers from prison; each one has a different role from one another yet same in objective and goal that is to kill the target. The target is primarily given by the one who has higher position in the government. Two roles of the hired killers; the gunner or the hit man, who shall be responsible for the main killing of the targeted person and the backer or the backup for the hit man. These two hired killers are the ones who will work and the ones who will get their hands filthy. There are higher officials in the government that is part of their doings and is the one who is ordering the imprisoned men to get out of the prison and to kill the ones who are in their way. These government officials are ought to be clean due to their public figure and should be clean since most of which are running for elections with a higher position to be taken in case elected. Therefore, they hire some the inside men prisons to go outside and kill, then get back in to reason out that these killers came inside prison and not have the capability to go outside and kill.
Commentary-Evaluation
There is no impossible when it comes to a high ranked people who has lots of power and has a lot of gold in its hands. To alter the system, is to buy the system and manipulate it. Someway somehow it looked that way. If one has power, then many things can be possible through the use of that power. But, what is wrong with that? [1]Law are made specifically for the purpose of securing and promoting the common good. If laws are perverted, they cease to be laws, and the government becomes arbitrary and tyrannical. If such power is used through bad things, then it should not be a government, and that government officials shall be removed to prevent oppressions. That is the truth to be said, yet hidden, why? [2]Because we believe such authorities and that authority are individuals who are considered as such by their specialized fields and verified facts from exceptional and extraordinary fields and attested by qualified bodies of sources of information that is to be believable and is perfuming source of knowledge. Despite that perfuming, we can not, not believe it, right? Since they were an authority. [3]If so, then we are a complete subjection to authority. So what is wrong with that? It has the capability to devoid our efforts to find out what is true and what is false, thus entails danger of authoritarianism, which would be users should guard against because it has a tendency to subordinate truth in the name of authority. As you can see, it is not all about the actions of two hired killers itself, but the bigger picture, and that calls the all that are responsible men lurking from government, middleman, killers, and to society. So how can we know the truth? Of course, there are investigations, blood and sacrifice just to reveal this frightfully terrifying truth. It is roughly hard to disseminate the truth than to lie to make it perfuming. But at the end of the day, only truth and nothing but the truth shall prevail. The truth does exist in this sort of things, yet hidden to such power we can not seem to expose. We must expose the truth beneath lies, no matter what it takes, although, it is going to be a bloodbath and beyond executing such. In order to reveal the truth, one must have courage and is willing to die for the sake of the truth.
Excerpt-Interpretation
One thing we learn from this text is that, we shall not focus that much on crimes that are being committed by criminals, but rather, we must look on much broader view of the picture. We should be more likely to ask questions such as; why and how can we know? Answering such may lead to certitude if right process has been made. Another thing we should take into consideration is the dreadfulness of the system we have as of today. Not everything is perfect, but there is something that is ought to be protective, securing and governing seems to have lost its essence to do such, and then commence its falter and its downfall. We have agencies, the one that should help us in time we feel threatened and afraid, yet in reality, it does not somehow on this particular matter in accordance the film. In this film, we see that public officials, government agencies, and prisons are not what it seems in reality. Public officials is ought to be serving his people, agencies are ought to keep us in peace and prisons is meant to contain the ones who have sinned and committed crimes, all of this is altered due to the power of the high ranked personas. Revealing this hideous reality requires courage of one and willingness to die for the truth to propagate. Why? Because these figures are meant to be clean, yet there are things to them that maybe overpowering them, this tends to doing anything to eliminate the one that will cause its essence to a total falter, hence, killing, and making it seem clean, yet the process is dirty. We started from seeing the actions of the hired killers, then we look to a bigger picture which reveals the direness of what reckons to be something good, and at the end of the day, only one truth shall prevail, despite the sacrifices and blood that is spilled on that search for the truth. Let war commence.
