The actor's acting is top-notch, and the ending feels a little rushed

After watching this movie, I feel like it's okay. Compared to other Coen Brothers movies, it feels a little less interesting. I have little talent and knowledge, and I feel that although the protagonist of the disadvantaged group of the Coen brothers is still the usual bland and flustered mid-life crisis, and finally falls into uncontrollable disorder and chaos, but the overall feeling is that there are few other films (such as Ice Blood Storm, a serious man) is so meticulous and logical (although the emphasis is on disorder, there must be reasonable logic in it). The reason why I say this is because the fate of Billy Bob Thornton's male lead ed is a bit too hasty, or it may be that the Coen brothers were satirizing the American judicial system of that era, and they were killed in Big Dave's death. There is no doubt about ed, and let him escape the punishment of the law. Later, in the case of the sudden death of a dry cleaning man, ed was put in the electric chair because he signed a contract. In the past, when a well-known lawyer defended, it seemed that ed could easily clear his charges, and an unreasonable brother-in-law came out to make a scene in the courtroom, so the lawyer was gone, and then ed's fate took a sharp turn and he was directly executed. Not only is it hastily, but it also feels a bit anticlimactic. Does it feel like I want to tell everyone about a kind of reincarnation in which the wicked will suffer the consequences? The death of cheating men and women, the death of the dry cleaning male liar, the death of the fraudster ed... In general, I feel that ed's death is too hasty. Putting these aside, Billy Bob Thornton's acting skills are unbeatable. He has performed the mid-life crisis hairdresser too meticulously. In a lonely and boring town in the United States, he ranks behind his brother-in-law in career. The boring No. 2 barber, emotionally at odds with his wife, and a boring husband who pretends not to know about his wife's extramarital affairs, the only spiritual sustenance is the sound of a flowery girl in the neighbor's house (actually, the girl's playing is also relatively rigid, but in Ed's heart is the voice of the goddess, which makes sense considering the boredom in his life). He really sees girls as goddesses, so he strongly recommends them to well-known musicians. He hopes that after the girl becomes famous, she will become an agent and a girl to brave the world, so when the girl wants to give him a blow job, he will firmly refuse and lead to overturning. Because the goddess in my mind should be Bingqing Yujie, it is so unnatural when I see a girl flirting with a boy outside the studio. The boring man in this small town can't really be suppressed, so he trusts a dry cleaning man who has never been in his life for a haircut. Using the trick of defrauding big dave to get a $10,000 investment to the dry cleaning man, it can be said that he kills two birds with one stone. In my opinion, at the end of the hurried end, ed's death is a bit deliberately pursuing something, rather than a natural development.
