Friends who like to watch movies related to killers will not miss the classic work "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". The image of the killer Leon in the film has long been portrayed in the minds of movie fans. When it comes to the killer, he will never forget that there is such a cold-hearted, reclusive, but very gentle Leon. After a lapse of nine years, Jean Reno was once again in "Shut up! "Playing a killer, but the style of this film is completely different from the former. This film can make people laugh from beginning to end, it is a very French style comedy movie with a little dark humor.
Steel Egg (Gérard Depardieu) is a big talker, chatting with people regardless of time, place and object, so he has no friends and changes roommates one by one in prison until he meets the boss. The killer Ruby (Jean Reno) who doesn't speak up. Gangdan can keep talking to Ruby, who doesn't speak, doesn't get angry, and is always planning a jailbreak in his mind. Although Luby's escape plan was seamless, he didn't want to be stuck by Steel Egg, but it was also because of Steel Egg's help that the two escaped in the chaos. Ruby still has a plan of revenge for his girlfriend, but Gangdan just wants to be friends with Ruby forever and open a restaurant.
At first listen to this story, you will feel very funny. Many comedy movies are "one laughing and one laughing", and this movie is exactly like that. One's brain circuit is a little abnormal, but his mental state is normal, but he just talks more than the average person. The other is a ruthless killer, smart, with strong fighting ability, and his ability exceeds that of most ordinary people. This is how two people who are not related to each other burst out with different sparks.
In my life, I have never seen a person as talkative as Gangdan, and his "communication ability" has surpassed my cognition. At the beginning of the film, he robs a foreign currency exchange, not a bank. This is enough to see how special he is. In the process of escaping the police, he walked into a movie theater that was showing "Ice Age". In the theater where the audience was full of children, he found an empty seat and sat down. At that moment, he forgot that he was avoiding the police. Hunt down, but quickly immersed in the movie, watching it with the little ones and laughing. Even when the police came to find him and took him away, he was still immersed in the movie's comedy features, and laughed like a child, and from time to time he rushed back to continue watching the animated movie. It can be found here that Gangdan is a person with a childlike innocence. He lacks an adult sophistication and lives completely in his own world.
What happened to Steel Egg when he entered the prison made the character fuller. He could start with "Hello, my name is Gangdan, and I'm from Montague," regardless of whether the other party was interested in listening to him, and then chattered like a faucet that couldn't close the valve. And what he said were words that made no sense, and sometimes even made the other person feel offended. For example: "Do you often eat with your left tooth? Is your right tooth broken? You eat cookies with the sound of a chicken?" , and confronted him with fists and feet, but his bulky figure took the lead, and every time he injured his roommate. Such a chatter, no one wants to encounter it!
Such a childish, abnormal brain circuit, and extremely chatty Gangdan met Lupin, and Gangdan seemed to have found a soulmate, because although Luby didn't speak, he didn't stop Gangdan from speaking. The days of Gangdan were more than happy, one was talking and the other was silent. Gangdan thought that the other party was listening, but it was because the other party didn't want to speak. Ruby was just planning a prison break, and he didn't hear what Gangdan was saying incessantly. Ruby was admitted to the hospital, and Gangdan used self-mutilation to follow him to the hospital. Ruby went to a mental hospital, and Gangdan followed him to a mental hospital. He didn't have any idea, he just wanted to open a "two friends' house" bistro together after going out with Ruby.
When he was in the mental hospital, Gangdan heard the patient say, "They are turning him into a vegetable." It turns out that Gangdan has friends, and his friend is not an ordinary person. He is a guy who drives a crane and is very addicted to alcohol.
After coming out of the mental hospital, Ruby embarked on an unusual journey with this chatty guy. Jean Reno's role in the film is not much different from Leon in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". Although this is a comedy movie, there are still some elements in this movie that pay tribute to "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". For example, Ruby met a homeless woman and was willing to help him. Isn't that what the killer Leon was willing to do? Help little girl Matilda look like? For example, after Ruby entered the tomb, there is a potted plant in the tomb. In "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", Leon will put the potted plant in the window after getting up every day to block the eyes of unknown enemies. The main thing is that both Leon and Ruby are a no-nonsense killer, brave, pointless, and skilled. See "Shut up! "In Ruby, the memories gradually came to my mind. The comedy from the beginning to the end can be regarded as a dream of the audience. At least in this movie, Ruby is happy at some times, because he has a very simple friend who is willing to cut a knife for him. Egg will try to persuade him not to kill, but will shoot at someone he never knew to save Ruby.
Ruby was silent most of the time, and the police tried their best to break open his mouth. Calm, strong ability to withstand pressure, this is a must-have quality for a killer! If Jean Reynolds could act in another movie, he could act in a movie called "How the Killer Is Made", which might have a very high box office, and would definitely be watched as a textbook by the killer group. Just kidding, just to show that Jean Reno's killer figure is very successful.
The dramatic thing is that the killer meets the chatter and the style changes. They appeared in front of the audience again with a gay look. The two wore pink and red women's clothes without any sense of disobedience. If Ruby escaped from the mental hospital alone, it would not be such a happy image. When the killer encounters chatter, the chemical effect is to turn on comedy mode, and the audience is happy to watch it.
The film ends with an open ending, with Steel Egg lying in Ruby's arms, laughing very happily. Although the film does not explain the ending of the last two people, because it is not important, the important thing is that the director wants us to see what kind of chemical effect a chatter and a killer will have when they meet.
The film shows considerable confidence in both the control of the rhythm and the control of the actors' emotions. The film's portrayal of the characters' characters is relatively full. The fly in the ointment is that the depiction of the characters' emotions is not enough. Unfounded trust and closeness, but this is really not a fatal flaw for a movie that is intended to be funny.
As a comedy movie, I still see something different, that is "friendship", once you consider a person as a friend, you can do many things for him, such as escape from prison, such as stealing a police car, Like killing his enemies. Of course, these are all illegal, and I do not support everyone doing this. What I feel is the value of friendship. With the deepening of experience, it seems that it is really difficult to make a sincere friend, and many of them involve certain interests. As the saying goes: "There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests." This sounds sad, but it is also very true. Today's society is like this. Who is red to play with. Everyone seems to have added a lot of conditions to the premise of choosing to make friends. In school, we can come together because of common interests, we can come together because of good personality, and we can come together because of simple conversation. But now everything has changed. To make friends is to contact them deliberately because of a wide network of contacts, to contact them because they may become customers, and to curry favor with them because of their high social status. Everything is no longer simple. this is life! We don't like it, but we are forced to accept it.
No matter how the society changes, I still hope to make a friend like Gangdan who is sincere and simple. Of course, I don't like "talking" very much, I hope I can control it a little bit. I also hope that all my friends will have a friend named "Steel Egg" by their side.
