The movie Man on Fire is one of the movies that makes you live a state full of conflicting feelings between sadness, anger and sympathy. The movie was released in 2004, and stars the great star "Denzel Washington", who gave an exceptional performance as usual, in the role of "Chrissy", a former soldier whose life was full of problems before he got involved in a deep human story that will touch your heart.
The story begins when "Chrissy" accepts a job as a bodyguard for a young girl named "Beta", played by "Dakota Fanning". This girl is from a wealthy family in Mexico, which at that time was full of kidnappings for ransom. At first, "Chrissy" was a reserved and frustrated character with life, but over time he begins to be affected by "Beta's" innocence and kindness, and this creates a quasi-parental relationship between them full of warmth and love.
But this calmness turns completely upside down when "Beta" is kidnapped, and "Chrissy" embarks on a merciless journey of revenge to save her. Here, the strong side of "Chrissy"'s character appears, who uses all his old skills as a soldier to confront the gangs and uncover the secrets behind the kidnapping. The film in this part is full of exciting action and touching scenes, which really keeps the viewer attached to every moment.
The direction by "Tony Scott" was very brilliant, and he used dark photography and strong colors to reflect the psychological state of the characters and the dangerous atmosphere in the story. The soundtrack was also one of the most prominent elements of the film, as it added an atmosphere full of tension and drama to every scene.
But the thing that makes this film special the most is the human relationship between "Chrissy" and "Beta". The film is not just a story of revenge, but a story about sacrifice and unconditional love. The performances of "Denzel Washington" and "Dakota Fanning" were very sincere, and they were able to convey to the viewer all the feelings that the characters were feeling.
Man on Fire is not just an action movie, but an emotional journey that shows how love can change a broken person's life, and make him fight to the limit to protect the one he loves. The movie is one of those movies that will stay with you even after it ends, and it deserves to be watched more than once.
