It can be better, Jack is too much of a scapegoat

I didn't read the novel, but I did see the previous two films. I don't remember much about the 1990s one, but this one and the first one both made the mistake of blaming Jack too quickly. I wish the real world was this simple.

In my experience, if all boys are like Ralph, it would end up just as bad, and it would be a better adaption. I found that out myself. This time, not just British, but two US government employees, one is former, one is pending, but the clash and disintegration of order was just as bad. No one died this time, but it came too dangerously close.

I hope the next time, it can show the rootcause of the tragedy doesn't lay so easily on a simple flawed character like Jack. Even righteous Ralph, cannot coexist with his own type, in the same setting. And they would end up killing each other, perhaps more bitterly (Jack is too crude of a character thus incapable of deeper anguish) in a more awful manner.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

The thriller genre features suspense, tension, and excitement. These stories are known for keeping audiences on the edge of their seats and delivering intense emotional experiences by revolving around high-stakes situations, dangerous conflicts, and the constant anticipation of unexpected events.

Ralph jumps into action when violence escalates, then realises with horror that it is his turn to be hunted.
