"Perfect World" and "This Killer Isn't Too Cold" are in a way the same genre. It's just that the protagonists of the former are more like father and son, while the latter are more like lovers. The male protagonists are all villains in traditional values, but they also have unabated humanity, and even more shining than normal people. This has always been shown in Western films. Because human nature is complex, there are no so-called good and bad people. When Philip was apprehensive about stealing a Halloween costume from the store (even giving up the chance to escape from Butch), Butch told him that if he really liked it and didn't have the money to buy it, it was okay to steal an occasional one nothing.
Although many people were moved by Butch's care for Philip. But there is something puzzling about the film as well.
1. Butch's father-son relationship. Judging from the statements of crime expert Sully and the situation in which Texas police detective Reid sent him to a juvenile detention center in his early years, Butch was beaten and scolded by his father since he was a child. Later, although my father changed from a thief to clean, the habit of beating and scolding has not changed. Then it disappeared. After breaking out of prison, Butch went to Alaska to find the "perfect world" with a postcard of his father, which is a bit of an emotional contrast.
2. The perfect world given to Philip by Butch is even more outrageous. The two were together for almost 24 hours. It just fulfilled a few small wishes of the child, which made me begin to think that Philip was a patient of Goldsteiner's disease. Although Butch has a loving side, there is also a violent impulse in his nature. In the end, Philip shot Butch. Many people think that Philip didn't want Butch to kill the farm family (by the way, the hostess of the farm is the prophet in "The Matrix"), I think it's more because Butch shot Philip "Go get the rope" shouted loudly. This hideous face made Philip feel extremely dangerous, so he shot him, then ran away quickly, and didn't forget to pull the car key and throw it into the pond so that Butch couldn't catch up with him. Children's nature is changeable and sensitive, and they are always insecure when they are not around their family. The calm before was because Philip felt that this trip was a novelty, a new life. When the novelty faded from its gorgeous color, all he thought of was going back to his mother. No matter how restrictive his mother gave him. So I don't understand why Butch keeps running away with a child. Taking a step back, let's assume that Butch gave Philip a perfect world, but that's the 24 hours that the film expresses. If it is longer, whether it can stand the test of time, I think it is difficult to say. As Butch said to Philip in the car: This is the moment, we have to enjoy the moment.
3. That FBI agent stayed in the car from the start of the chase and didn't use it until the end. Could it be that there was something in Butch's criminal career that had an intersection with the FBI, so he sent a sniper to follow him all the way. At the end, the sheriff has already said that he can't shoot, but he still shoots, which makes people wonder if there is any zf conspiracy in it. Is this the case, I just have my doubts, but don't know why this is the case.
4. Not a puzzling place. This is a 1993 American film in the 1960s. Therefore, many lines, especially the dialogue with female crime expert Sally, are foul language in many places, but the person who speaks will express apology. It can be seen that the United States was still very conservative at that time.
