What a concept 1967 was, when I didn't belong to this world at all. But one day in 2006, 39 years later, I met "Lone Killer".
Let's be honest, if it weren't for Alain Delon, I probably wouldn't be able to finish this movie. There's very little dialogue, and it's black and white, which looks depressing. But Alain Delon's handsomeness made me stick to the end, and I'm glad I could stick to it until the end, because a lot of times, the quality of a movie depends on its ending. And "The Lone Killer" didn't disappoint, it was such a success. Probably no one will forget the gun without bullets, the killer without "emotion"...
In the past, killers were always abhorrent, because they could mercilessly put people to death for money. One shot, one transaction, one life... However, I never thought about the helplessness of their lives. Always so lonely, all things can only be placed in their hearts, and they cannot share their emotions with anyone, and probably no one will be willing to share...Loneliness envelopes their lives. They are all poor children, no one hurts, no one loves them. What society gives them is only contempt and hatred.
Who would be willing to walk into the life of a killer? Who is not afraid of death, who is not afraid of danger? If you are with the killer—the king is like a tiger, and it is like a time bomb that is ready to explode all the time.
So, probably in the end, the killer can only choose to die, to die alone.
