Why be brave?

The Brave One, translated as a brave person, so what is brave? Could it be that with a gun, the hand trembled after the murder to the one that didn't tremble later? If that's the measure of a person's bravery, then I'm a coward.

After her boyfriend was beaten to death, she couldn't get out of the shadows, unless she killed the bad guys herself to avenge him, so that she could face herself. There are times when laws cannot be sanctioned, and foreign laws are indeed unacceptable, that is, some countries do not have the death penalty. This is not in line with the logic of the Chinese people, or even the logic of people in the world. The so-called karma is that one life should be worth one life. So, out came the Avengers.

I remember there was a sentence in the Hong Kong drama of police and bandits that I watched, that is, let the murderer go to prison to repent for his crime. Maybe this is the reason why there is no death penalty in many places. How many people will repent of their crimes? When the plot requires it, the perverted killers in Hong Kong dramas suddenly found themselves wrong at the end, and even left tears of remorse, so what about in the real world?

Back to the original topic, what is brave.

I still appreciate those who, after being hurt, think not of revenge, but of how to prevent others from being similarly hurt. It's as if the mice saw the mousetrap and they would inform them not to let the same kind enter the trap. It is estimated that this may be one of the reasons why our mousetrap can't catch the mice. So animals are still like this, why can't people do it?

The police helped the gangster complete the last revenge plan, and helped her escape, even at the expense of being shot, this mouse is much greater. Of course, this also involves his professional dedication. Isn't he a good policeman? no.

Good cops don't catch good people. It is estimated that at that time, he asked her to put the grab down, and she obeyed, suppressing her revenge, and the hand holding the gun loosened. Maybe that's the point. The police judge the difference between good people and bad people. As a good police officer, you can't obliterate good people.

In the end, Erika walked back to the tunnel where she lost her lover and even changed herself. She faced herself bravely. This is the bravest scene in the whole movie.

The Brave One quotes

  • Erica: I always believed that fear belonged to other people. Weaker people. It never touched me. And then it did. And when it touches you, you know... that it's been there all along. Waiting beneath the surfaces of everything you loved.

  • Erica: Open the door.

    Crazy in the car: Uh-oh. We got us a super-cunt here.

    Erica: Open the door, or I'll be the last super-cunt you'll ever see.
