ruthless

The world surrounded by ice and snow reminded me of Fargo first, and the plot reminded me of three billboards. The whole film gave me the deepest feeling is two words, ruthless. Aside from the stylized scene where the male protagonist disposes of a dead body by the river, the death of the Indian paraglider at the end of the credits especially gave me the feeling that life was a joke in the writer's eyes. In addition, the male protagonist is a typical all-around narcissistic hero. The police have sent him to the door many times to care about him, but he chooses not to call the police when he encounters an accident, and fights the entire criminal gang by himself. The main line of the story is that because of the death of one son, the father finally killed everyone in the enemy group. In the end, the male protagonist was a little surprised by the absolute correctness of the sentence "You don't deserve to have your son." Many complexes are extremely absurd, but have elements of sharp black humor. Only I personally feel that the whole film is a little dull and lacks tension. Finally, I thought that human nature has a bloodthirsty side. In reality, the cowardly and powerless audience needs to project their own strength through the unprovoked killing in the movie.
