A father’s son was hit and killed by a car. The driver who caused the accident ran away, but the police did not do his best. The angry father had to investigate and find a lawyer by himself, but he accidentally discovered that the lawyer he was looking for actually killed his son. That murderer.
Such a plot setting is a setting foreshadowing the conflict. However, the director did not leave too much suspense for the audience. He showed the hole card at the beginning, so what we care about is not the beginning and end of this case. Instead, he was attracted by the two men in the film, and at the same time, he was looking forward to the explosion at the moment when the father knew the answer.
The man who lost his son was sad and angry all day long, while the "murderer" became panicked all day because of self-blame. Between the two, an interesting role-the "policeman"-does not act on the former, but is the only one on the latter. The "surrender" did not take it seriously. The "policeman" abandoned these two equally painful men in a subtle way, which eventually pushed them to the forefront of the conflict. ——This society did not help these two men to complete their salvation.
Both men’s pain stems from the love for their son. One is the pain of losing his son, and the other is afraid of his image being destroyed in front of his son. Similarly, a man is angry because of his love for his son, and the other is One who blamed himself because of his love for his son-the love of father and son became another fuse of this conflict, but also out of love for his son, allowing these two men to complete their own salvation at the last moment ——The former gave up vengeance full of anger, while the latter was also relieved by confessing his sins.
I have to mention Jacques Phoenix. I recently watched two of his films in a row, "We Have the Night" and "The Road to Redemption". This guy’s performance in "We Have the Night" has made me film the case and think he might He will be nominated once for that role, but after watching "Road to Shock", I feel more and more that he is closer to the Little Golden Man. If he will be nominated for the best actor, at least until now, it is "Road to Redemption." , Not "We Have Night".
