I think this drama is a very deep realistic film. reflect the real society. The technique is more extreme, the characters are clearly portrayed, and there is no softness. It is understandable that he won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival (2011).

First of all, at the beginning, it was a rainy night, and the son appeared in a hurry in the rain, indicating the darkness of the film. And all the reasons seem to be because of the male protagonist (son) who appeared for the first time. He came up with a plan to kill his mother to get the insurance money. The film also revolves around this main plot.
Then a stepmother opened the door, and she opened the door naked without asking who it was. The son said that she opened the door naked without asking who it was, and spoke rudely. And then have to fight with the son. The portrayal of the stepmother is extremely penetrating. Have to admire the director. Then a father appeared, and it was no better to find such a wife. And accepted the attention of the son to kill the mother. Then there is a daughter who is also the weakest victim, an ignorant and helpless girl who grew up in such a family. It can be said that she is the most innocent. The killer they mentioned was also a policeman, saying that the policeman was no different from the killer at that time.

The murder of money, drugs, pornography, crime, and murder is vivid and vivid in just 90 minutes. It reflects the current social situation at that time very thoroughly. In the disco, there are topless strippers, drug lords, and the disco screen uses dark blue, which is full of temptation, pornography and a violent and absurd atmosphere. The son, who owes money and needs to repay, was chased and beaten by the creditor, and he was beaten to death. Helplessly, I remembered the attention of killing my mother to pay the insurance money. I can't afford the killer, but in the end, I have no choice but to give my 12-year-old sister to the killer as a "deposit", which is equivalent to selling it. are extremely absurd. Then, the insurance money was not received, and it was discovered that the insurance money did not belong to the younger sister. She killed her mother, but the insurance money was not received, but was owned by the husband of the ex-mother. Be exploited. Helpless, the son sold a gun and was going to run away with his sister. At this time, my sister was pregnant and wanted to run away with the killer.

The killer did not know where to find the pornographic photos of his stepmother and many men, and showed it to his father to see if it was his genitals. He said it was not, indicating that his wife was messing around outside. Then she put the chicken legs that started with K on her crotch and let the "stepmother" eat it, which was a serious insult. In the end, my daughter didn't shoot her, which is understandable, because she has already received retribution at this time. I think she is also a victim at the same time, equivalent to a prostitute, doing everything for money. From the look on her crying face, you can see that she is very helpless and sorry for her husband. I feel like I can't see anyone.

In the end, the younger sister took the robbery and shot the elder brother the first shot, because he was the mastermind, and the reason was because he was in debt for drug trafficking. He was also beaten to death by the killer and got the retribution he deserved. The second shot was given to my father, a shot in the middle of the stomach. Explain that the father is the culprit. Due to his negligence, he created a failed family and failed to educate his sons and daughters well, which made all this possible. The third shot, towards the killer, is also the father of the child in her belly. When she was about to press the trigger, the movie came to an end... The perfect ending left the audience room to think... Can't shoot , maybe it's not important anymore, but what's important is that the characters portrayed in this film reflect the social reality, which has been dripping with prohibition, and it's quite extreme, making it impossible to wear it... It was a success.

The reason why there is one less star recommendation is that this kind of film is not recommended to watch more, because watching too much is not good, it is better to look at Spider-Man, Batman, etc. This article only makes this comment on the plot and film shooting method, purely personal opinion.

    A very unexpected R-rated film, bloody, violent, pornographic, all kinds of subversive values, using KFC's chicken legs as a BlowJob is very predictable
