It's been a long time since I saw the movie I wanted to recommend, and this movie gave me this urge again.

The film tells the story of two brothers who rob a bank. As for why grab? How did it end? Hmm~

I have a habit of turning off a movie if it doesn't make me want to watch it within 15 minutes. But the barrage often disrupts my rhythm. It makes fifteen minutes of a boring movie bearable, and fifteen minutes of a great movie more interesting.

"Grab a few thousand dollars and bury a car." "The car was stolen." "Go to the casino after robbing the money?" "Go to launder the money. Change the small amount to the large one, and the money will be clean." The barrage reminded me If you didn't notice it, let me also ask, right? Someone replied in the back, which made me realize, so Karma. This silent interruption sometimes expands the feeling of watching a movie. But after really looking into it, you will naturally choose to turn it off, because it is an interruption after all.

Speaking of the movie, this is a movie that every passer-by will make you like. The author gives each of them humorous and identifiable lines. Safflower needs green leaves, and this logic doesn't always apply. In the film life, every passer-by should be enough to make people nostalgic.

Passerby A's humor, set on a common locality, makes them more plausible. It's not funny but blunt like a lot of movies that keep showing American humor. When they have a common and more precise source, it is easier for people to accept and feel more intimacy in their hearts. The development of the plot is also combined with the local sturdy folk customs.

The sense of regional pride is evident all the time, and everyone seems to be proud of it. This makes me reflect, I am a person with a weak sense of place, and I rarely have the pride of the so-called "Hubei people". Seeing the regional personalities of people in the film, I realized that I seemed to be missing and neglecting something.

Defeating a weaker opponent does not prove your brilliance. Only a strong enemy can bring out the true strength. The logic that safflower needs green leaves to match again fails. Experienced detectives quickly sketched out the perpetrators' motives and predicted their next crime scene. Waiting for the rabbit or cheating in the urn? Yin and Yang go wrong or go through fire and water? hmm~

Partnering with the retiring detective is an Indian police officer. The old policeman always wanted to bicker with him, but he didn't like the feeling of taunting each other. In the end he was led into a ditch anyway, and what better way to build affection and show humor than to be sarcastic with each other without hurting each other? I am personally used to the sweetness of bickering and have tried and failed to build.

"I have never seen anyone who did bad things without being punished." I am not afraid that the robbers have IQ, but I am afraid that the robbers have faith. Those who have identified their destination are fearless. To be lucky is to be afraid. The above line was said by my brother. Brother is brave and decisive, experienced, but impulsive. The younger brother is cautious, but hesitant and timid. The title of the film "Going through fire and water" can be interpreted as the elder brother going through fire and water for his younger brother's plan. It can also be interpreted as the reason why the younger brother who is innocent enough to be classified as the suspect plans to robbery. for what reason? Hmm~

There are too many interesting and humorous scenes and lines in the film. Can't list them all. But these few dialogues between the two brothers impressed me deeply, so I will show you the screenshots.









Remember the scene where Leon fell in "This Killer Isn't Too Cold"? A simple switch makes people feel very innovative. At the end of the film, the director quickly lowered the shot of the car that was running on the endless field into the grass. The sense of emptiness was instantly pulled away, and a feeling of wanting to peel off the cover in front of me suddenly rose. It was this feeling that kept me watching the subtitles at the end of the film.

A movie that made me watch the subtitles, I recommend it to you.

Thanks for reading.
What are you waiting for? Wait until I get mad?
