I have traveled many roads in my life, killed many people, did many wrong things, but only loved one woman.
Let's listen to a cliche, unremarkable and unnutritious love story.
There used to be a little girl named Gabi, whose father ran a small coffee shop. Gabi has liked music since childhood, especially playing the cello. She played the cello all night long, in her father's cramped coffee shop. Her family tried to distract her, but for her, music is her life.
What she didn't know was that there was always a man living in the attic of their coffee shop.
At that time, Nigel was not the head of the Bucharest underworld. He was seriously injured in a conflict. The stab wound penetrated his entire abdomen. To make matters worse, he is still wanted by the police.
He hid in the attic on the top floor of Gabi's house and lay on the abandoned bed, the bed sheet under him soaked with blood. That night, he listened to the faint sound of the violin downstairs, and he had never shed tears easily, and he heard tears streaming down his face all the time.
When he gets better, he will sit by the narrow window, quietly looking at the whole gloomy city, watching the people of all kinds running in this city, watching the girl playing the violin in that corner, his There was a pale blue haze in his eyes.
He left the attic on the day he recovered and did not mention it to anyone.
In his next journey, he killed and was pursued by others; he suffered more terrifying and deadly injuries than before, and how many times he was on the verge of death, he struggled to survive tenaciously. However, no matter where he is, the girl's piano will sound in his ears on time every night. Years of bloody storms whizzed by like the wind, such a thin and beautiful dream has been cherished in his heart, and it is his only watchful light in those countless killings and crimes.
I don't know how many years have passed. When he finally got to the top of the underworld, he came to the coffee shop where he stayed in disarray, and the innocent girl had grown into a beautiful and moving woman.
Gabi didn't know anything, all she knew was that the man said to her personally that the violin she played had saved his life. When she recalled that scene many years later, she said,
"His scars and his eyes are like a wounded animal."
Nigel taught her how to make a gun, take her to various occasions, meet all kinds of people, at least Their coffee shop has never been troubled by any underworld. It was at that time that Gabi knew what Nigel was doing. She felt extremely unbearable, but it was Bela that really made her resolve to stop interacting with him.
Gabi's musical talent quickly caught the attention of Bela, the coach of the local opera house, and he began to train her. He found that she was very talented. She began to be able to perform on stage gradually, and her childhood dream was finally realized. But there is one thing, Bela hates Nigel very much, in his eyes he is a villain, a heinous gangster, he never gives him a step into his opera house. Compromises for Gabi, a man who has always been the only one, but at this time, Gabi began to dislike him. She disliked his career, his dominance, and his lack of understanding of music, but she forgot that he had fallen in the attic of her house with scars and tears every night, listening to the sound of her piano.
Gabi’s father and Bela didn’t like Nigel. They tried many ways to get rid of him. Nigel burned the curtains of their house in anger, smashed the coffee shop and wanted to take away his Gabi, but Victor and Bela didn’t know. Where did he find evidence of murder when he was young, and finally forced him away.
All this continued until Gabi's father died and Charlie appeared.
Charlie fell in love with Gabi. He was attracted by the musical temperament embodied in her and began to pursue her frantically. At this time, Gabi also found that he was tired of Nigel. After all, how can a good musician have a gangster husband? She also started to like this naive looking (and also loves music) kid. At this moment Nigel also appeared. He thought that Gabi's father was dead and that he and Gabi could still be together. He is different from those who change a woman one day, he only loves his Gabi, but then he discovered Gabi's indifference and rejection of him, and Charlie's appearance also made him very upset.
Gabi lied to Nigel that Charlie was gay in order to prevent Charlie from being harmed. Charlie lives in a youth hostel, which is crowded with young people who have dreams but are always hovering at the bottom of society. They use drugs and countless beers every day to temporarily forget the tragic situation. It was there that Charlie ran into Nigel, who also paralyzed herself with alcohol and drugs. This time Nigel didn't make things difficult for him, but instead said to him, telling him what happened to him.
"Ah, the fucking love..."
He couldn't help muttering in pain, this fucking love. It was this damn love that gave him the courage to live, but it was this damn love that made him worse than death now, so that he can only use some false illusions to make up for his inner trauma like those fallen youths. .
However, Nigel couldn't sit still when he discovered that everything Gabi had said to him was a lie, and Charlie's constant provocations made him intolerable, especially when he somehow came up with evidence that Gabi's father used to threaten him. Nigel felt that this man had to solve it.
What he didn't know was that Gabi, whom he always loved, fell in love with Charlie, who seemed weak.
Fortunately, the boss of the underworld is the boss of the underworld after all. The privileges he exchanged with blood and pain back then were not useless. In the end, Nigel forced Gabi to kill Charlie with a gun. Gabi let go of Charlie with the empty gun design, but made Nigel think that she had shot him.
"You shot for love, didn't you?"
He looked at her and asked, and she nodded. She did shoot for love, but it wasn't Nigel.
Nigel looked at her, not even trying to escape when the police came. His men began to run around, only the woman he had been staring straight at him, trying to determine from her eyes whether she was as loyal to each other as he was.
Until the police rushing up shot him to death.
He fell in front of his beloved woman, blood flowing into a blurred heart.
Then Gabi and Charlie lived happily together.
That's right, this is the ending. I said earlier that this is a boring and meaningless love story.
"Charlie Must Die", this film also has a literary translation called "This Damn Love". The people in it are desperate to love all kinds of things, and they are almost mentally disabled. However, my deepest feeling is the title of the film: the mortal Charlie is not dead, but the gang boss who persists fearlessly to the last second for love is dead, Who the hell is the fucking true love?
