When I first saw this movie, that scene at the very end on the soccer field gave me chills when they hear the gunfire in the near distance and everybody stops and waits, and after a few moments pass the ref blows the whistle and the children go back to playing the game. It gives a very sobering look at how in places that are war-torn there are families in the middle of it all, trying to pursue a normal life but in a constant state of uncertainty; they are the sheep in the "land of wolves" as Del Toro phrases it. Very powerful movie in my opinion.

Emily Blunt nailed her part. Her character got chewed up and spit out by the government, and crushed her ideals and identity in the process. She was tough, but everyone around her was twisted on a whole new level. That's what's great about her character. She's tough as shit, raiding houses, shooting baddies, but gets thrown into an even more fucked up situation and it breaks her.

They most definitely knocked it out of the park with that scene. Typical Hollywood would have had the plucky leading gal dig in her heels and hold to her convictions, but they kept the scene true to the story they had told so far. It is not a nice world, it is not a pleasant world, happy endings are possible but in the reality created in Sicario, it simply would not have been possible.

I re-watch his Dune recently because when I saw references to it online, it tended to hang in my mind like unfinished business. A few days later, I then felt that same yerning to watch Sicario again (this was last night) - but I had no idea he also directed that until the end credits. Seeing his name appear caused a cascade of jigsaw puzzle pieces to slot into place about the stylistic approach between the two. I wasn't particularly aware of him before Dune, but I'm definitely a fan now - also noticing his other works and seeking to revisit them.

But she wasn't ready to become an amoral ice cold killer like the others. Sad she's not in the 2nd one, would've been interesting to see her become a wolf too. It's just not the same, but I'll watch it for sure.

@bluelineclapper2523 6 жыл бұрын

What I found interesting is that she showed she was capable of getting down and dirty (her off-screen SWAT resume, the opening raid, the ability to react to the dirty border cop at the crossing) and had the opportunity to subscribe to the "black ops". Despite being told that these decisions were coming from the top (of the U.S government) she continued to stand by her petty protocols. She could have embraced the opportunity to become one of them, and had an illustrious career in deep state CIA operations. It's not like she would have been leaving a life full of family and loved ones behind.

CIA is not allowed to operate within US borders without a law enforcement official with them. She was that official, except she was just cover so that the CIA could do what it felt needed to be done. Benicio del Toros character is the assassin that hunts down the Cartel leader, and during his mission committed plenty of crimes, him, his boss the CIA dude and the Delta team also committed crimes. He wanted her to sign a paper that says no crimes were commited and that everything was done according to the law. She initially refuses that's why he threatens to kill her.
