At the start, what is the relationship between Jake and Alonzo?
The tension between them which would be deepen was revealed from the start of the movie. In the restaurant, Alonzo did not hesitate even a second before spitting bad words to Jake. Alonzo was always disrespectful to Jake no matter what Jake did. Sometimes, Alonzo was kind to Jake, but it was only when Jake did something inappropriate only for the sake of Jake's satisfaction, such as Drug.

How does their relationship change and Why?
Their relationship seemed to improve in a better way, but it was merely superficial. Their relationship did not improve with reasonable and just turning points, but it improved in illegal and errant ways. Alonzo became open-minded to Jake only after Jake did something bad as mentioned above.

At what point does Jake realize the truth about Alonzo?
In the US, drugs could be just a mere crime, which most of the people could do without the severe sense of guilt. Accordingly, Jake did not have strong nerve toward Alonzo until Alonzo commit a murder. After Alonzo murdered his friend in front of Jake, Jake realized how shameless and brazen-faced Alonzo before the crimes was.

hi,

The film tells how life is cruel if it does not respect others or deceive others when the story begins with a new police officer and the detection of the corruption of the police. The community and the country and the relationship between Jake and Alonso When Alonso begins to prove to Jake that he is walking the wrong attitude when Jake Alonso and his team He kills "friend" Alonso and highlights Jake in this tragic crime. The conclusion of this story is that Jake has a young energy to help the country and not to tamper with the laws and take advantage of the energy of youth to help the nation and the people.

"Training Day" is a classic film speaking of a new police on the first day of the trial, by an old police deterrence, use, threatening, intimidating, deceiving, until the last betrayal experience. The new police officer was playing like a monkey, playing between the brains and not knowing. At first, Jake respect Alonzo and treat him as a leader, so Jake even said that he would do anything Alonzo asked, which is a big mistake. Fortunately, at the time Alonzo killed his "friend" Dog, he realized the mistake and made the right choice in the end.

After seeing this movie, I think when people do things, we should pay attention to the following things: (1) Pay attention to your words and deeds will not bring any possible bad consequences when get along with others; (2) When other's behavior looks strange, you need to think whether there are some other purposes; (3) Do not expose your own real thoughts in mind, do not give anyone the chance to use to threat you.

I watched this movie for the first time. I knew that the police officer could commit a crime. People can become one who seeks only for their interests, I think.

1.Jake thought that Alonzo was his ideal because Alonzo solved many difficult cases.
2.When Jake found that Alonzo made money off the crime, Jake was overwhelmed by a sense of uncertainty.
3.Jake and Alonzo went to drug dealers' house. When Jake started to play the card game, Alonzo had already left home. Then, he knew that Alonzo wanted to kill him and he asked for them to do it.
4.Jack was a police officer who had a baby and had a strong belief what wanted to make the city comfortable to live in. He met new partner who was a real go-getter police officer. In fact, he commits a crime and makes money. He realized it and he fought with him.

Jack is a mentee and Alonzo is Jack’s mentor, at first time, Jack thought that he can learn a lot of things from Alonzo, so he told Alonzo that he would do anything what Alonzo said. However, he found Alonzo was weird. Alonzo ignore the crime in the street, stole money from a women, take money away from a drug seller and kill him. These thing make Jack begin to doubt about Alonzo is a good police or not. Then Alonzo betray Jack, and Jack almost get kill. Fortunately, Jack survived successfully and he knew Alonzo’ secret.

I pretty enjoy this movie. 8-)

At first, Jake was hard to understand Alonzo, because he did not look diligent and honesty. Although Jake had tried to make a good impression about him, as time went by, the young policeman recognized the real Alonzo and had a very risky moment to be killed. Finally, their relationship became broke up.
