George Clooney's still old and still masculine taste has been so gorgeously displayed in this film. He played a low-key and silent professional killer, because of chance, came to such a secluded and beautiful Italian town. Driving an old fiat, life was painful and peaceful. This man is lonely, although by virtue of his handsomeness, he does not lack the comfort of a woman. But he is indifferent and suspicious, and his professional characteristics endow him with a strong sense of insecurity. From the moment he killed the woman who was suspected of betraying him at the beginning of the film without hesitation, he just looked at the leopard, which is normal. When he came to this strange place, he still remained vigilant at all times, watching the surrounding environment closely.
However, the priest gradually touched him with his enthusiasm, allowing him to obtain a rare year-long friendship in a foreign country. Not only that, we often see many representations of the Catholic cross in other movies about killers, and they also appear in the movies many times. This is probably a reflection of the spirit that people are born guilty in Western culture, and God will forgive you the most and lead you to the other side of freedom and quiet. At the same time, it also makes this film full of a sense of integrity and sacredness of the return of religion. .
His physical and psychological loneliness was undoubtedly revealed during his contact with a female client who was introduced to him on the line. When they tried the gun by the river, when the sun shined through the thin skirt of the female client and highlighted her sexy buttocks, the shot gave the killer a close-up-his feelings at that time The ripples are really beyond words. So he went to find the prostitute again to relieve his loneliness in body and soul. There is no denying that the Italian actress is very beautiful, both in figure and appearance. For this film, she sacrificed a lot. Whether it was the first three points when she slept with the old handsome Qiaoshuai, or when they only went out of the country with underpants when they had a picnic by the lake, they were not as good as the surrounding scenery. Intoxicated, it is bound to become a classic in a man's dream. And at this moment, you don't feel the slightest obscenity and nausea. There is only a pure sense of beauty that cleanses your mind, flowing down the Italian country lanes, riverside streams.
In this peculiar process of giving birth to love from sex, I don’t know how the chemical reaction between them happened. But there is no denying that this did happen. In a date scene, George Clooney in a suit and leather suit and this beautiful woman ate in a western restaurant full of classical charm. The elegance and leisurely style made it vaguely visible to him in previous movies. The prostitute, played by the famous Italian movie star Violante Placido, is noble and elegant in her gestures, which makes people feel lamented that even women in Europe are so tasteful and elegant. style. The aristocratic temperament that originated in the bones seems to be innate, which makes people feel nostalgic and embarrassed. And the scene where the two of them walked along the old road in the small town after the meal—a handsome old man, a sexy and considerate little woman, quietly walking on the old street, the kind of silent love, two The backs of a lonely soul relying on each other are all moving. I think at this moment, the relationship between them may be sublimated from a pure sex partner to a soul mate that depends on each other.
However, the characteristics of the killer profession are destined to the end of the lovers. George Clooney finally died in the car that went to meet her for the first time, failing to fulfill their original agreement. But it is undeniable that in the scene of the last parade, he was finally completely moved by her, opening his long-closed heart to her, hoping that she will always be with him and the feeling of flying high and flying finally burst out. In the question and answer, the promise of the foever's promise is the climax of the film. When they hugged each other tightly, with the sound of the background music, the viewers were moved and moved from the bottom of their hearts. I think, just like the protagonist in the film, each of us outsiders has an empathetic experience-is life like this for us? Everyone who is lonely and lonely, why not yearn for a plain life and a sincere relationship? I think this is the core value that this film delivers to our audience and can resonate deeply with us.
The whole film was shot in a small town with unique scenery in Italy, surrounded by mountains and mist, which makes people feel like a fairyland. The priest of the small town is the key figure leading the whole film. He took the initiative to get to know George Clooney, and gave him the care and friendliness of his father, so that the long-frozen killer's heart tends to melt. This may be why the cold assassin is finally willing to take the prostitute a kind of early preparation. The performance of the heroine can be described as stunning, no matter in figure, appearance or temperament, it all reflects the unique Sicilian style of Italian women. In short, under the gradual rendering of a kind of faint affection, the whole film gradually moves towards climax and sublimation, which can be regarded as the qualitative evolutionary history of the killer mentality played by George Clooney. Although the killer died helplessly in the end, the faint sentiment was still like the dandelion floating in the sun in the movie. It could not dissipate in the air for a long time, staying among the blue mountains and forests, and at the same time staying with us. On the heartstrings of every viewer's stirring, people can't let go for a long time.
