"The Killer's Tragedy": The singer becomes a killer

A movie I wanted to watch a long time ago. Robert Rodriguez is a director I like very much. In my impression, the films he made have two different styles. One is the Cuit movie of black blood, and the other is the quirky children's movie. The film naturally belongs to the former.

The time of the film is only 80 minutes, and the story is very simple. A singer, with very bad luck, was admitted to the wrong person, as a killer, and finally forced to a dead end, truly became a killer. The theme of the film is nothing more than the social environment, love, and so on. It is more popular.

The plot of the film is very weak, but the film clearly shows the director's unique style. First of all, this is a crime film, with assassins, drug lords, gangsters and other factors. This is a subject that Robert Rodriguez has always liked. . Secondly, the image style of the film is unique. The whole picture does not have too many scenes. Most of the scenes are medium and close shots. In many cases, the characters' faces are close-ups, which is very depressing to see. Third, in the black and gloomy picture, there will be a little humor from time to time to adjust the atmosphere. The most typical thing is to strike a match with a beard. Really can?

Robert Rodriguez deserves to be a wizard. In the 1992 movie, relying on a movie with such a simple plot, it established its own unique image style. Although it cannot be said that this is the case in every subsequent film, but I believe that anyone who has watched this film will be deeply impressed.

Before watching the film, I didn't understand the film, which is my principle of watching the film. Therefore, I only know that this is part of a trilogy. As for what trilogy it is, I will write it down after I read it all.

El Mariachi quotes

  • [last lines]

    El Mariachi: [voiceover] All I wanted was to be a mariachi, like my ancestors. But the city I thought would bring me luck brought only a curse. I lost my guitar, my hand, and her. With this injury, I may never play the guitar again. Without her, I have no love. But with the dog and the weapons, I'm prepared for the future.

  • El Mariachi: [hitchhiking] That morning was just like any other. No love. No luck. No ride. Nothing changes.
