The painting, based on the novel "Black Flies" by Shannon Burke, is a rare case of a meaningful idea and discussion of a difficult topic, as well as the expression of the author's opinion.
The mission of street saviors is not suitable for fans of "gentle cinema". This depressing work, which allows you to see through the dirty reality of Brooklyn life, destroys pink illusions and covers soft skin with bleeding scars.
The first part of the film presents the audience with a series of scenes depicting the heartbreaking work of paramedics in poor immigrant neighborhoods. This part leads to a crisis point, where the midnight express breaks out with a piercing cry of conscience, and the plot takes shape and meaning.
"We, the dead and the dying, that's our job. We are suffering, and we don't care about anything. If you don't acknowledge what you see in front of you, then... Then you are a coward!" - this is the quote that conveys the main idea of the film.
Pain, suffering and blood - all this represents a world from which some will not be able to get out. The decision depends on you: to become another lost ghost or to get out of the darkness. The heroes of this story will face such a choice, and their actions will divide the hot asphalt into two parts - one soaked in gloomy realism, and the other stretched by the nerves of human doom.
It is not necessary to identify this movie with Martin Scorsese's "Raising the Dead". They represent two different views on the same topic, two different methods of conveying a story. There is depth in this painting, a thick atmosphere and light in the pitch darkness of human indifference.
At the beginning of the film, in my opinion, there was too much air, laconic contemplation and an atmosphere that was oppressive with its morbidity. There was a lack of internal dynamics, but the brilliant play of Sean Penn and Ty Sheridan creates a contrast of good and evil.
It is important to mention the high suicide statistics among paramedics, and the film reflects the harsh and unsightly realities of this profession on the verge of life and death.
