What the sudden introduction of the girl Isabelle brings to the table



However, "Soldier's Day" had another "twist" in store. As those who have already seen the movie know, another special character appears in the film from the middle onwards. Benicio del Toro said, ``In this film, the girl (Isabelle) played by Isabella Moner takes on the role of Emily Blunt in the previous film.''


I see, it's true that it's not the "main point of view" like the previous work, but this time the girl also sees Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro acting suspiciously behind the scenes. Is it better?” It can be seen as another point of view, looking at it in a half-confused state. What kind of chemical change will take place in the men who were supposed to have fully unleashed their Monster nature in Brandt's absence when such eyes are once again focused on them?

When I look at the two works from this perspective again, I am painfully aware that Brandt and Moner were not mere bystanders.


At first, they were all just leftovers brought in to help the CIA carry out its operations. However, men who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, or at least Alejandro, played by Benicio Del Toro in this work, gradually undergoes a transformation without even realizing it by exposing himself to the gaze of the heroines. I will accomplish it. A glimpse of that germ was glimpsed in the previous work, but this time, a more dynamic humanity begins to emerge in the emotional ground that was supposed to be completely withered.


This was simply because their gaze suddenly went beyond the neutral realm, and by taking the place of Alejandro's wife and daughter, who were supposed to no longer exist in this world, they stirred his emotions. Originally, the absence of his wife and daughter was a major basis for Alejandro's desire for revenge. In this way, by strongly feeling the presence of his beloved ones, who he will never see again, in an unexpected way, he regains his original humanity, which he had long since buried. Even in the way the magic explodes in such a heart-pounding way, you can clearly see the excellence of this work, which is not just about intensity.

I've heard that the Sicario series was originally conceived as a trilogy. I wonder what kind of perspective will be used in the next work, which will be the final chapter. New characters may appear, and there's also a possibility that Emily Blunt and Isabella Moner will reappear. As this is a series filled with characters that are not easy to follow, I'm looking forward to seeing the story of the soul come to a complete conclusion with even more surprising developments.
