This killer is not too cold

Under the ruthless appearance, there is also the responsibility to the family and the fascination with the beautiful wife, but after all, it can't conceal the cold-blooded heart of the killer. Sitting and struggling between desire, existence, reality and emotion. In the end, the switch of the double-faced personality had to face legal sanctions, and it was the result of being "abandoned" by the family.

I still remember the clearness and tension in Iceman's first date with his wife, and the stark contrast with the coldness of the murderous afterwards. After so many years of concealing his identity as a killer, playing a successful husband and dad in a "normal family", Iceman still retains the warmth that his family has brought him in his heart. Therefore, he is unwilling to hurt women and children, which is also his "self-discipline" as a professional killer.

A really good feature film is a little bit deep into the hearts of the people under the seemingly "calm", and finally leads your emotions invisibly. After reading The Iceman, I still feel a little bit scared and sad. Especially the actor's last "neuristic" self monologue in prison completely reflects the humanity confession that the killer is not too cold...

The Iceman quotes

  • Deborah Pellicotti: I was working across the street, and uh, Richie would come over every break he had, and he would bring me flowers and candy. And then it got really awkward, because I didn't know who he was, and I just started making any excuse I could to say no. And then one day, out of the blue, he walks in and he tells me I'm making a big mistake. And I didn't know what to say, because he seemed so convinced. So I went out with him.

    Terry Franzo: All because he wouldn't leave you alone?

    Deborah Pellicotti: No. Because he knew what I needed more than I did.

  • Deborah Pellicotti: Well you know, honey, there's just too many people in the world God to care about everyone. So that's why we look after each other.
