film began with a close-up of the big scene, in which the anxious pacing of the characters intersects with the shots of the prison guards walking fast, forming a tight and tight cross montage. And as the physical distance between the prison guard and the male protagonist-the driver, the lens length is shorter, the switching is faster, and it is suffocating, creating a fast atmosphere from the beginning. In addition, the heavy panting and the constant magnification of the metal sound of the prison guards' shackles help the camera put more pressure on the audience.
The driver was about to be released from prison. He saw an old photo on the wall of the cell. It was a photo of him with a man, prompting him to stop and enter a calm state while waiting anxiously. At this moment, we have no way of knowing the exact relationship between the two, but the expressions and intimate hugging movements of the two in the photo show that they have a deep relationship. The walls of the cell are very large and empty. With just such a group photo posted, it can be seen that his only bondage in prison is the person in the photo.
In the process of being released from prison, this sturdy man has always been very cooperative. The time passed by one minute and one second, and he could not hear the voice of the warden's teaching, only the clock was ticking eagerly. Finally, the warden asked "Are there any questions?" The driver only said: "Where is the exit?"
Then there was the sound of hurried shackles and a subjective shot of a long corridor. The corridor was too long to walk through in one step. The hurried sound of shackles was just like the driver’s eagerness to get out of prison. . Then, the music started, and the movement of the driver's sight emphasized this eagerness and determination of the goal. The driver started running wildly, and the title of the film appeared concisely, FASTER.
Here, we have to admire that the director has a good grasp of the rhythm and time. Through the combination of the camera, it implies that the audience driver is anxious to get out of jail because he can’t wait to do something, cleverly used cross-montage, and carefully processed the sound. . Such as the sound of amplified shackles and clocks, as well as heavy breathing and the voice of the warden being blocked. These are all effects that we can't feel in reality. In the film, the director uses sound processing to show the driver's mood and real feelings in front of the audience, and the audience's perspective and the perspective of the person in the game are unified. In addition, a series of close-ups and the accumulation of repeated footsteps also brought tremendous tension to the film.
At the end of the opening part of 20 minutes, the three main characters in the film were introduced, and one main line and two double lines were explained. They are the driver’s desperate revenge plan, some decadent and bad-rooted police officers who are about to retire track and handle the case with the driver, and the handsome and excellent killer is hired to kill the driver. The two double lines progressed around the main line. The ultimate goal of the two double lines is the driver who is the main line, the police and the killer. The three clues spread out in parallel, crossed, intertwined with each other, and did not interfere with each other, and only met when necessary.
When the driver killed the first target, he didn’t hesitate. He hurriedly walked to the target’s work place, completely ignoring the surrounding cars, the front desk in the office, the eyes of the staff, and even fearless of the camera. , He saw the target, didn't say a word, shot him in the head before the target made any resistance, and then quickly left.
As for the police, he also paced back and forth in his appearance, but he was obviously more elegant than the driver, and the music was soothing. However, his beard and decadent eyes change show that he is not a serious person. Although it was a policeman, he smoked marijuana and his money was crumpled. He put pressure on the seller, but the other party was not moved. In the end, he chose to give in and say good things. It can be seen that he thinks he is smart. But there is no bottom line of self-esteem. He went to the crime scene to handle the case, and the eyes of his colleagues also let the audience know that he is not a good colleague, and everyone disliked him. When handling the case was empty, the police called the wife at home, and the wife’s reprimand gave him no opportunity to explain, or that his actions could not be understood by his wife. It seems that besides being a good policeman and a good colleague, this policeman is not a good husband and a good father.
The killer appeared in a clean and beautiful villa. He is practicing yoga with difficult movements. The lens shows the pictures on the wall, his award-winning pictures, the pictures of climbing the snow-capped mountains, and the pictures of Sanda. Every one of them is a moment of success. It can be seen that he is a narcissist and outstanding. And people who are extremely eager to conquer. The final shot gave him a black and white photo of his childhood, as well as two deep scars on his legs. It seems that he suffered a lot of trauma when he was a child, which is also the reason for his challenging personality. Most of the content of the killer's conversation with his girlfriend was himself, what he discovered, what he did, etc. It can be seen that his mental age is very young, which can be said to be naive. During the phone call with the psychologist, he talked about taking medicine. He did not obey the treatment, and because of a word from the psychologist, he immediately thought of marrying his girlfriend Lili, without considering the actual factors and so on. It was naive And narcissism can be seen.
The opening part ends when the killer sets off to perform the mission. In this part, everyone is non-stop. The driver avenged his revenge quickly, the police were eager, and the killer eagerly challenged. All three of them wound up the clockwork and continued the plot.
Foreshadowing: Men's friendship (37min)
has had a lot of suspense in the opening part. For example, what kind of people the driver wants to kill and why does he want to kill; the police are about to retire, so why run so hard to assist in the investigation, and ignore the conflict between family members and family members for work; what happened to the killer when he was a child? , Will he really marry his girlfriend, and will he give up his current job for his girlfriend to be a safe and secure person?
The paving part came up to give the audience a highlight, a violent video. In this violent video, we learned about the relationship between the man in the photo and the driver, who the driver was going to kill, and the driver's past are explained concisely in this paragraph. The driver killed the person who had taken the video, but did not kill the innocent student girl, and in the confrontation with the killer, he protected the little black girl passing by. Although he is tall and brave in appearance, everyone is scared, but these details all confess that he is actually a gentle and delicate person in heart. The elder brother trusts him, he and his elder brother are close to each other, and will smile from the bottom of the heart because his elder brother is proud of him. The bond between him and his elder brother is also what turned him from a human into a ghost.
The killer and the driver confronted for the first time here. The killer beckoned to be fatal, but the driver retreated in advance, which made the killer feel that he was being played with and chattered to his girlfriend that night. The driver piqued his interest.
In addition to solving the suspense in the opening part, the foreshadowing part continues to set up the suspense. The assassin made a proposal to his girlfriend on the phone untimely. We know that the story between him and the driver will not end as simple as that, because the driver’s skills have just stirred up a combative nerve. We want to know what choice he will make in front of his charming girlfriend and the goal he is constantly conquering. . The police accidentally exposed the tattoos on their arms and the scars left by drug use when pouring coffee, which aroused the doubts of the female police officers, and at the same time aroused the curiosity of the audience. There seems to be more stories about this policeman than the other two.
In this part, several heroines also appeared one after another. The driver went to find his ex-girlfriend, who was the only character in his target list that he never intended to kill. In front of her, although there was still a stiff face that was not good at words, the trace of warmth in her eyes could not be concealed. Tiehan had also been tender, but his life had been twisted in the catastrophe ten years ago. The killer finally married his girlfriend. Although he promised not to wash her hands for her, in the middle of the night, when he saw the picture of childhood, his hideous face appeared again. Competitiveness defeated his wife's temptation, and he began to lose his rationality. The police requested to stay with his wife Marina for one night. He comforted his son like a kind father, and embraced his condemned wife like a gentle husband. Why is Marina disturbed? Although not sure, but intuitively knows that this is related to the driver's story.
All three men have their own tenderness. The driver is the elder brother, the policeman is the wife and children, and the killer is also engaged in psychological struggles because of his girlfriend. The three of them are portrayed as flesh and blood people, no matter who is a good person or a bad person, they can be forgiven by the audience in a sense. It is precisely because of these emotional factors that the characters are portrayed so three-dimensionally and on the theme. , Giving a layer of human depth. The whole story is no longer as simple as murder and revenge.
So, before the killer set off, the foreshadowing part looked affectionately at his sleeping wife, and the police kissed his wife before leaving and it was over.
Progress: Uneasy Heart (17min)
The film progresses here, and the rhythm has slowed down unconsciously. After the driver killed two people non-stop, his actions came to a halt. He went to find his former girlfriend, and the steel heart was covered with a soft thing. However, the most serious part of the driver’s psychological struggle was his “thank you” when he killed the third target, and the phrase “I have a son, tell him I’m sorry, please.” That blood-stained cell phone, let The driver did not kill the target any further. After coming out of the bar, he actually dialed his son's phone and fulfilled his promise. The film deliberately allows the driver’s ex-girlfriend’s bridge to appear before the third target, and lets the audience know that the driver himself also has a son who was only knocked out by his girlfriend. It was his loss of a son that made the driver's next behavior possible.
In fact, the driver's actions were not as eager as it was at the beginning, and he became hesitant. Each action needed to be supported by watching pictures with his brother several times and recalling the scene of his brother being killed. Murder has faded. He even wanted to call the son on the way after the murder, but the restless memories in his heart came out again, asking him to throw away the phone, turn around immediately, and finally decided to return to the hospital to kill the No. 3 target completely. His inner struggle has become fierce. Out of sympathy, he didn't want to kill the target, but his brother's death made him mad. In his conscience, he felt that he should get his revenge and turn his head back. After all, it has been so many years, and These people have been reformed now, and they are not so hateful anymore.
Therefore, after killing Target No. 3, out of responsibility, he answered his son’s phone call and deeply replied that his son wanted revenge, “You can do this, but you have to think about it. This is a no return. Road."
In this paragraph, the three clues intersect. After the driver experienced a gun battle with the police in the hospital, he started a chase scene with the killer. At the hospital, the driver let the police make a living. On the highway, the driver redirected the gun pointed at the killer's head to the tires of his car. It's just that the killer didn't appreciate it, and took the opportunity to shoot the driver. When the driver returned to his mother's house, although he said that he was going to kill the "old man" (his father), he actually missed his mother's tenderness in his heart. After forgiving two people who were about to put him to death, he also called mother to the woman he had just pointed the gun at. Although it was just a short mom, it warmed people's hearts and wept tears.
In the photos placed at home, the director gave the audience and the driver enough hints. He needs to know who betrayed them in the first place. He has no clue, but the next push to the brother and girlfriend in the photo is obvious enough to suggest to the audience that the person who betrayed them in the first place was his brother’s girlfriend, the policeman. The current wife, Marina. So it becomes meaningful to go back and watch what Marina said to her husband in the bathroom. The answer is close at hand, but the driver has no way of knowing it. After resting at home for a while, the driver took his brother's ashes and left without hesitation. It is said that he has no hesitation, in fact, with a bit of sadness, his back looks so lonely for the first time, which is pitiful.
Climax and ending: The climax of no return (24min)
is concentrated on the fifth day. After some psychological struggle, the driver finally decided to turn around and continue his revenge plan. The driver drove fast, the killer drove to follow, and the police drove to chase. The three clues will soon cross, and the three men should appear in the same scene immediately.
The driver drove to the destination, the last place to preach. This time, he did not walk into the target location desperately and quickly kill the target like he killed the telemarketer. Instead, he approached slowly, stood there, and waited silently for the sermon to end. The pastor's face almost crying but still working hard and strong gave the audience sympathy. It is impossible to imagine how such a benevolent pastor would be related to the murder case. The pastor is experiencing the countdown to death. Although he has also tried to save his life, no matter what the final result is, at least he can accept it with confidence. I have to say that the presence of the priest's wife and children saved his life. Even if the driver said, "I want to kill you, God can't save you." In the end, he forgave the pastor. The shot was empty, and with the last bit of hatred in his heart, it also disappeared.
The driver looked at the picture of his brother and the cross on the ceiling in the church. The revenge was over, but he was not happy in his heart. He closed his eyes and accepted the condemnation of his conscience. Everything was not over, there was no time to breathe, and a gun was pointed at the driver's head. Faced with the driver, the killer became exhausted. No matter how aggressive he was, he could not provoke the driver's fighting spirit. The killer has not killed the driver because the killer wants to have a fair and true contest with the driver. He has already lost to the driver twice. His victorious character cannot tolerate such failures, but no matter what he says, The driver only said, "You and I have no grievances or grudges." The principle of the driver's murder is that he has had grudges against himself. But the motive of the killer was the task assigned by the employer. It must be mentioned that the killer’s commission is only $1, and he is willing to live and die for only this $1. Therefore, the above sentence of killing is based on the task assigned by the employer is not accurate. He killed people only to satisfy his own selfish desires, he wanted to continue to conquer, fortunately to "reshape himself psychologically and physically."
However, the killer's motive for killing is so boring and ridiculous to the driver, and the driver does not think it is worth fighting against the killer. The things that the killer clings to are worthless to others. The driver's words-"You are sick", the killer endures to the limit. At this time, the other protagonist, the policeman, finally appeared. Forced to protect himself, the killer put down his gun, but the policeman turned his attention and easily killed the driver. Everything seemed so absurd and unruly, the opponent he had always wanted to surpass was easily killed by a decadent policeman. So what is the significance of the so-called victory that he insisted on before and made him crazy? Even if he can beat the driver, what can it explain? It's not the last to be like a loess, humblely becoming the prey of others. The moment the police killed the driver, the killer understood everything. The police was his employer and the mastermind of everything that year. When he understood this, he sympathized with the driver instead. It seems that conquering is no longer the only one. From the driver's sentimental and righteous behavior, the killer has begun to notice the value of love. This is the true meaning of "rebuilding oneself psychologically and physically."
Now we go back to the front. When the driver killed everyone, they all said the same sentence-"He forced me to do it." Every audience is curious to know who he is, but the driver has never doubted who he is. The reason why there is no doubt is very simple. Our driver is actually just a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs. The director has already deliberately showed us this characteristic of him. When he went to buy the target person's information, he inadvertently took out two wads of money from his pocket when paying the bill, then paid one wad and one wad, and put the other wad back into his pocket. This gave the black boss the idea of blackmailing him. Fortunately, the driver was "notorious" and saved him from a catastrophe. Therefore, it becomes easy for a person with such a simple mind to explain without suspicion of the police. He never thought that the person who betrayed them in the first place, Marina, also became logical. From this level, the driver's revenge itself is a very ridiculous thing. He didn't understand anything, he was played with by the applause but still didn't know it, what he killed before was just a few small people, but he thought he was revenge for his brother.
The police "killed" the driver twice. However, the driver's strong willpower due to his revenge made him less likely to die. In the end, the driver who was resurrected finally killed the policeman with two shots, which happened to be the number of times the police killed him.
In the end, the police failed to protect his life. But at least as he wished, he got a pension. His wish to maintain a glorious image in front of his son has also come true. Because the female police officer did not expose him. Failure to expose him is not a recognition of him, but the female police officer realized his good intentions, and took into account his wife and children, and showed some kindness.
In the end, Marina was at large. The driver dumped his brother's ashes, and finally there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. It's a smile of relief.
But is it really liberated? How do we explain that the driver forgave the pastor but did not forgive the policeman who also had wives and children? The woman who betrayed their brother in the first place, the traitor who should be killed in theory, he didn't even know, but he thought he was "freed". A group of bad guys have been conspired by another group of bad guys, do they still have to take revenge in a high-sounding way?
Maybe everything needs no explanation, revenge, all this is just a ridiculous joke...
