Unhindered Party's Revenge

The beginning of the movie is similar to Flying House, the life of an old man living alone, with a slow rhythm and loneliness everywhere. The story begins to move into another rhythm when the old man kills the robbers by the river. After his wife and friends have died, the old man begins to fight back. One move to defeat the enemy. After returning home, the various clean-up traces showed the well-trained and rich experience that he had as a Marine back then. Of course, it also implied that the old man began to become different, as he told his friends, just like another. One person, another life. The chase scene by the river is very real. The old man lost to emphysema, but he threw the gun into the river to destroy the evidence before passing out. It was really thoughtful. In the end, he was knocked down to the ground and still struggled to take out the gun hidden in his socks, and hit the artery in his neck with one shot, blood splattered everywhere, which shows the profound skill. Asking for death in the end is not only a true emotional expression, but also a provocation or a life-saving move. At the end of the story, the old man is still alone, not even the bar, but at least won the right to walk through the underpass. It is difficult to tell whether it is to eliminate violence and peace, or to take revenge. Walking through the underground passage to the cemetery, the people the old man cares about are all under the loess. It really has the feeling of twilight in Lawrence Bullock's "The Flowers Will End".
