But it's such a movie that doesn't require much thought, which makes me unable to calm down for a long time.
This world is very beautiful and cute, and this world is also very ugly and dirty. I think the ultimate goal of this film is to let us live earnestly with a strong heart.
In the film, Harry has a wife who has been with him for many years, an old friend who plays chess together, and has a small but sheltered home. He is not rich or starved, except to endure those arrogant and cruel young people. Big problem. Occasionally seeing others being beaten by young violent groups, he chose to remain silent. After all, he is not a saint, and although he knows it is wrong, what can he change as a powerless old man? Gradually he watched more, and he became a little numb. He didn't know the people who were suffering, so he could only work carefully.
Some people say that the film is procrastinating, which is indeed comparable to some movies with sharp rhythms, but for this film, I think it is necessary to procrastinate. Harry is not Iron Man, he is not Superman, he is not the dazzling 007 or professional killer, and of course he is not the god-defying Hannibal or any other abnormal inner evil with a strong IQ. He is like an ordinary public, like us, who has never thought of harming the world and has no ability to save the common people. He has loved ones, friends, and a little entertainment. In the face of a powerful evil force, he dared not challenge him and took a detour. Yes, ordinary is very weak, timid is very useless. But it's so real, it's so real that I don't dare to look directly at it. Even so, he still couldn't escape, these shadows forced him to a dead end a little bit.
From the beginning of the film, a lot of social realities were thrown out. What bad things did the big people do, the tragic deaths of innocent passers-by, car accidents...Even if they are staged every day, those problems are too far away from the protagonist. Only juvenile problems actually occurred in his life and even threatened him. And most of the unsatisfactory part is to show us how reality pushes people into tolerable. This process is like sexual harassment. The audience is treated as rape first, and we comfort ourselves that we won’t lose a piece of meat if we take a look. Then we were sniffed again, and if we comforted ourselves, we were sniffed by the dog. The other party was even more unscrupulous and began to move. Some people couldn't help it, staring at each other and walked away. Some people continued to bear it and comforted themselves to go back and take a bath twice. I don't know if we want the other party to hold us under the body and tear our clothes, we will yell "I will die to Lao Tzu, or I will cut you JJ desperately". Harry's forbearance before is understandable, and the subsequent resistance is also a matter of course. His resistance was just to keep himself alive.
The target of his revenge was the beasts who had killed his old friends. Killing the dregs of two kinds of marijuana and the drug dealer who liked being licked by boys was out of plan. It was also unplanned to rescue the girl who was tortured by drugs and the two police officers who had been in touch with each other. Previously, the background of the Marine Corps only provided him with the possibility of revenge when he was so mature, otherwise he could only follow the footsteps of old friends. But even with such a background, the road to revenge is stumbling, and it is impossible to kill him if he is not addicted, and there are several times that he almost died. The last big boss sid makes the movie more cruel and more real. The dregs will evolve like zombies. Every day, there is an F like a chicken blood, and I specialize in soft persimmons. I think that a few girls with the same level of education as rubbish are just scumbags, and the brain with eyes can be awkward. Recognized at a glance. There are also many big scums with hypocritical masks manipulating scum. It's difficult for ordinary people to identify. We haven't even reacted to their shots. We can only die without the whole body. After all, it's a movie, so let's give the audience a breather. Harry got lucky and didn't die. He didn't get revenge and was not punished by law. He survived, alive with nothing.
This film does not discuss whether Harry's revenge is right or wrong, but it doesn't need to be. What he was fighting against couldn't even be called a human being. Whatever the reason, it would have been scumbags, and there was no second possibility other than becoming more scumbags. The legal sanctions are not imperfect. The police are always late, and various reasons urge him to take revenge. It may be through Harry's suffering that he is qualified to say that his actions are right or wrong.
This world is disappointing, but we cannot give up, we must face it. Reality rarely has absolute black and white, large gray areas, and these chaos often test people with conscience. If you can, please choose to live in a way that does not hurt others as much as possible. If not, you can only regret it.
