The protagonist described at the beginning of the film is at the lowest point of life, relying on watching junk TV shows to pass his get off work hours, suffering from partial obesity, headache (physical) and neighbor noise (external factors). Not to mention the blow of the broken family, the willful daughter, the jealousy of the ex-wife to form another family. As for the reason for the broken family, it may be the lack of love for the wife and daughter, or the attitude of not seeking to make progress has ruined oneself and the family. In American values, American men advocate fitness and entrepreneurship, and a fat employee like Frank, who is honestly in the 11-year class, is easily regarded as a synonym for not seeking progress and laziness. In fact, the boss wanted to fire him a long time ago, and he gave him an excuse thanks to the opportunity given by the fat girl.
Everything is falling apart, and the world around me seems to be dying, and society as a whole looks bad enough, even though we don't really feel it fully, just see it in the media, but it's bad enough. So Frank thought about suicide and picked up the Browning 1911 pistol with his dog tag and medal next to it. The director here reminds us that Frank also had his days as an "American Hunk", he believed in the country and dedicated himself to it (although some soldiers enlisted only to kill or stimulate, but in the end they did die for the country), died on the battlefield Escape but was "murdered" by life. When all thoughts are despairing, it is also human nature to suddenly find that one has to pull a pad before he dies. Life is coming, what selfishness are you afraid to hide? These people are damned anyway. Better to destroy everything. Seeing this, I also feel the same way. People who stay in a difficult situation for a long time will always have a complex of broken pots and broken boxes. It is especially easy to give up when you are in trouble both at home and abroad.
I feel very refreshed when I see Frank and Loli taking revenge on the society. These are the things that often flash in our minds, kill all the motherfucker! But when I was writing a review, I couldn't find that feeling anymore. One was the anxiety about the subject matter of the movie. Maybe one day someone will kill someone if they are unhappy. This person may even be me. Although the movie has an almost joking depiction of the murder plot, as far as possible to distinguish it from the real, all this is actually not difficult to achieve, especially in the United States where guns are rampant. In China, this negativity may also be reproduced in other ways (such as bus arson, food poisoning, etc.), and it is not necessarily less powerful than guns. Second, I could never really do something so exciting, at such a small price. Movies are still movies. In reality, it is impossible to abduct Lolita across the province and kill several people while playing without being discovered. In other words, there is no way to get revenge on society in an interesting way, and in reality, morality and conscience will tightly bind us.
All the precious things in life stop our crazy thoughts, except when we really have nothing. But how many sentimental young people really have nothing? Maybe I don't have the money, education, body, or girlfriend, but I still have what a lot of people dream of (or utterly bored with) -- time. Thinking of this is really inexplicably sad.
