The pace of the film is slow. The background is all declining American traditional industries, lifeless small towns, and depressed steel factories. The male protagonist has a stressful job from the beginning, steel blue-collar workers, his father is seriously ill, and his younger brother is once again caught He was transferred to Iraq to fight, and he watched the TV in the bar, Obama screamed "change", but everything around him seemed to be dead. Then he drove drunk, went to jail, returned to society, his girlfriend was gone, and his brother had been warned when he came back from the battlefield. Destroying the spirit, his father died of illness before he could let him go. He tried to return to society, but everything seemed to be unsatisfactory. The younger brother went to fight black punches and died in the hands of the gang. The police only said that we were powerless... The male lead and uncle investigated by themselves, but it was useless. When the younger brother’s body was found, the police arrest did not catch the murderer, male. The Lord became angry, and then led the murderer out and killed...I remember the last few shots, the male lead raised the gun, and the police yelled at him not to do stupid things. I thought the male lead must make a difficult choice in the end and put it down. The gun is the last soul redeeming horse, but the male lead takes aim, and then shoots his head... Maybe this is the only way to end everything and escape from this melting pot of all hopes for a good life, destruction Others, it’s better to destroy yourself than to be melted by the furnace...

    Woody Harrelson's play is really wide, and it's chilling to play the bad guy. The director is a person who thinks too much, and all the good people in the film are grinding and chirping. The film mentions the issue of the unemployment of American workers due to the export of steel in China, which reminds me that American and even Western films seem to focus more on characters and stories, while Eastern films often reflect on a single social issue. Is it because the Western social system is relatively sound And stable?

    I said Abbe, are you really a big husband who is suddenly fat and thin? ! Then every time you lose weight, how can you read the lines more neatly? Is it because you have saliva in your mouth?
