A little dark and a little helpless

The desolate steel factory, the desolate town, is it reminiscent of the old industrial base of the three provinces? The future of the steel plants everywhere in Hebei? And it is mentioned in the movie that the steel plant is about to close down because China's steel is cheaper. If one day, other countries are cheaper, will China become like this?

Going back to the movie, the narrative rhythm of the movie is very slow. Even in the final revenge plot, there is no imaginary ups and downs. At first glance, it is produced at a small cost, but the movie itself has a certain degree of visibility. I want to live in these. People in small towns will have more resonance with this film.

There are also some places in the movie that I don’t understand. The black boss (Xiao Hei) in the small town took Rodney to the black boss (Shan Hei) in the mountain to fight black punches. Why was he killed in the end? Xiao Hei thought he had punched black fists. It is understandable that the idea of ​​writing off previous debts can be wiped out naively, what about Rodney? At least it's a money-making machine. Was he killed because of disrespect when we first met? Pretending to be too fake when playing black boxing? And why do you need to change the place when you shoot the gun, and drag it to several miles, because the mountain is the king of the black capital, so many steps are not troublesome?

This movie will definitely not be released in the celestial dynasty. Although it reflects the old industrial town of the United States, some things are too reflective. The idle cop is a family dedicated to the development of the country. The father should be due to occupational disease, and the younger brother should be a soldier. After the war, no one cares about the trauma, hoping to bet on horses to make a fortune. My brother has been working diligently like his father to make a screw in a steel factory, to be a law-abiding citizen who was drunk and killed. The corner. Of course, there are no absolute good and bad people in the whole film. Even Shanhei, because the system can't control him, he naturally made him. Before he died, his evaluation of his younger brother was that he was a man. Because of his willfulness, he killed him when he was killed. Xiao Hei also showed kindness at the end. Although this may be because he owes money and is really afraid of the mountain, he can't bear it when he sees his brother being beaten. The corner cop dug, but his brother's girlfriend at the time I really need to take care of it. I don’t do anything because it’s really hard to manage. It’s not true to say that my brother’s girlfriend may not be considered realistic. Marriage, it is impossible to say that you can only dare to be with the king without a mountain without edges and a sea without boundaries. The cause of all this can only be said to be the system. Chinese friends turn their backs in silence.

The elder brother has been waiting for cop's actions. Shanhei has been at large, feeling unbearable and feels that he can only rely on himself. If he is not his brother, he may be a worker in a steel factory for his entire life.

It's such a story, and it's all about the dark side. It's really sad to think about the national conditions in detail.
