see the devil, become the devil

The ultimate in Korean violent movies, the film explains very well what it means when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you, and when you are struggling with a dragon, you also become a dragon. For the so-called complete revenge, the police officer played by Li has released the demon played by Cui again and again. Extraordinary did not make the devil feel fear and despair, but aroused the excitement and pleasure of the devil. In the end, because of Li's willfulness The fiancee's family was killed by the revenge model, how hopeless.

The world is so cruel, so cruel that you don't know why the bad guy is so bad, the answer may be very simple, because he is a bad guy. Officer Li is not a demon after all. He can't be as completely ruthless and cruel as Cui. Even if he finally let Cui's family kill Cui himself, Cui did not feel despair, but just wanted to continue to live. Cui's family, this can also explain why Officer Li broke down and cried after a blood feud. At that moment, he also became a demon of human nature.

The film is very exciting, and it is not boring at all for more than two hours. It also reminds people of the ancient Chinese saying: When will the grievances be repaid, take a step back and open the sky, let others go to let go of yourself and so on, the ancients honestly do not deceive me, It is reasonable to say that sometimes the most difficult thing is to forgive and let go, but who can truly do it completely?

At the same time, the film also reminds me of another film "The Life of David Gore". Gore's tragic life and all kinds of injustices have suffered, but he still believes in that he is committed to abolishing the death penalty for the death row watch organization. And hard work, in the end he and his good friend Constance both used their lives to prove to people that the death penalty is wrong. One of the two films has no faith, only violence and fear, and the other has faith and has no fear of death. It is really an endless torture of the weakness of human nature.

What kind of people do we choose to be? What meaning do you seek in this life? Is the pursuit of killing to stimulate the desire for violence, or the pursuit of freedom and devotion to beliefs and beliefs, I think you already have your own answer.
