Many people and film critics did not appraise this film very highly. The core is that the frame of the story is too fragile, like a palace propped up with the tip of a needle, it will completely collapse with a slight negligence. Indeed, two people have lived together for seven years without discovering each other's real career. This alone is hard to believe. However, when I saw the interview scene at the beginning, I felt that there seemed to be another angle to appreciate the film, so this film had a more interesting meaning in my opinion.
Although two people love each other and get married, they do not fully understand and trust each other. This situation may not be uncommon. Everyone hides their own little secrets and carefully protects their own space, just as the two in the film each have a secret weapon arsenal. Until one day, by accident, this disguise began to peel off. Faced with the new image of the other side, both sides would be uncomfortable, so friction was inevitable, and quarrels and contradictions followed-war broke out. . As a result, the Smiths smashed their home like other families, except that they used guns.
If you regard this film as a vivid metaphor for marriage, this film will have a new aspect and it will become very interesting. In a gunfight movie, the director deliberately added a comedy color and played down the bloody part. Among all the killing scenes, the faces of the murdered were difficult for the audience to pay attention to, and even the scenes did not take those at all. However, we can clearly see that the couple's anger at each other during the battle, and the life and death in the end when facing a common enemy. If this is just a gunfight movie, I can't think of any reason. The director will focus on this, and must create a humorous atmosphere in this kind of scene. Therefore, if we look at it from another angle, we can understand why Mrs. Smith prefers large guns and why she behaves so tough. If she really plays two killers, let a woman behave stronger than a man. And with a bit of brutality, of course, there will be a dramatic effect, but is this not the role of women in family disputes? Isn't Mr. Smith's tolerance in contradictions from beginning to end just what a good man usually does in family disputes? And Mrs. Smith's excessive discipline in the subsequent pipeline rescue operations reminded me of the general attitude of women in household hygiene work.
For the storyline, although a lot of people were killed in the first battle in the supermarket, the bosses of the two companies did not show up. The story shouldn't end at all, but after that, we saw the two people's satisfaction with their marriage. When the final battle of this type of film is about to begin, the film ends after a stupid interview, which is too strange! What we expect is that the two should go back to the company headquarters, and then kill the boss. At the last time, they should fake and die together as in "Prison Break", and then fly away. But none of them. Of course, you can say that this is the imagination space that the director can leave.
I'm not saying that the director really thought that way when he was making this movie. I just want to say that if you look at this movie from the point of view I said, it would really be very interesting.
Of course, maybe I was poisoned by high school language too deeply, ha ha!
