The film gives the impression that the killer is also very human and tasteful. I do not agree with this conclusion. Killers in real life should be people who have been stimulated, highly emotionally suppressed, and both intelligent and brave, and only they will choose this profession. But the killer in the film seems very human, so it feels a little fake.
But that didn't stop me from being moved by this film, because it allowed the audience to see the complexity and helplessness of reality from a special occupation. If the film is understood to reflect the helplessness of people through the theme of killers, in fact, many plots are relieved. In life, people have to play the roles of superiors, subordinates, and colleagues, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Bishop kept getting tasks from his superiors, no matter whether he was willing to accept it or not, he had to agree to it; facing his old partner, he was grateful, but when he received the task to kill Harry, he He still used his brains, and did not give Harry a chance to resolve the misunderstanding in advance; Bishop later became a partner with Harry's son Steve, and trained Steve as an apprentice. He patiently trained and guided the apprentice, but the apprentice Steve was still due to inner factors. And violating Bishop's instructions nearly killed him. People's various roles in society are not chosen by themselves, but are facilitated by complex marriages. Just like the old Chinese saying - do your best to know the destiny. In the face of superiors, it is good to work hard; in the face of colleagues, too much or too little emotional investment will bring distress; in the face of subordinates, the instructions can be conveyed, and the results are uncontrollable.
As a special profession, killers have the ability to harm others beyond ordinary people, but they cannot escape the threat of death. Everyone tries to do the right thing, but in the end it is inevitable that they will regret, be angry, and go to evil. In real life, there are also a lot of super capable people, either technically experts, interpersonal, or super athletic. But in the process of career development, there will inevitably be battles, there will be times when you win, and there will be times when you are defeated by your opponent. Even if the winner has not yet been determined, there will be many ups and downs in the process of competition. In the film, Harry seems to have seen through the essence, and before he was framed and killed by Bishop, he did not defend or resist. Because defending will only make things more complicated and make Bishop more dangerous, and defending and resisting may not necessarily save his life. Harry felt that one of him and Bishop had to be killed, so he chose to be killed by Bishop himself. Saying the "aftermath" suggestion, Harry should have fought back against Dean with Bishop at the time.
Harry's son Steve should belong to a confused rich second generation. From the side of the film, I also saw the process of a rich second generation from confusion to maturity. Steve has lived under the halo of his father since he was a child. The medals and wealth belong to his father but not to him. The wealth of the family prevents him from having the opportunity to show his dedication to the family. Over time, he loses his sense of responsibility. If the work is not going well, and the education is neglected on weekdays, I will become more and more depressed. But after Harry's death, Steve's heartbroken desire for revenge, Steve's potential was then unlocked, his courageous side showed, he accomplished a lot of tasks (albeit flawed), and he gradually found his place. However. Steve and Bishop lost in the final fight, ending his otherwise clear life.
Life should be a process of moderation. Don't do anything too extreme or think too extreme. Comprehensive and balanced development can ultimately avoid a lot of unnecessary pain.
