Many people don't watch this movie carefully and think the plot is unreasonable. In addition, there are a lot of Russian dialogues, which may be difficult to understand, so he scolded bad movies when he came up. Keanu was short of money and called Cage brothers. In fact, let’s not talk about Keanu who has been making niche movies over the years, whether he is short of money for some weird scenes (he is not short of money at all, with a net worth of over 100 million and a motorcycle factory). In other words, it is definitely a good movie that is quite impressive in terms of plot. By the way, not only is it not a bad movie, but I think it is still a very good movie.
In fact, the theme or central idea of this movie is the story of the heroine telling Keanu to play the poor man's john wick.
There are two types of prisoners in the Gulag: one type, you put them in a cabin, give them a flint, and they will only use the flint to light the stove. Year after year, night after night, the flint was beaten, just to keep warm. On the other hand, if you give them flint, they will burn the wooden house.
Before talking about why this story is important, let's analyze the role setting of the hero and heroine. Keanu’s role is a diamond merchant. He should often go to Russia to engage in the diamond business. His wife is very indifferent to him, caress about his video with him, and does not care about his situation. Their marriage actually exists in name only.
The hostess runs a tavern in a remote and cold Siberian town. His brother hopes that she will marry a good old man in the town and lead a plain and happy life like most people.
These two people met in cold Siberia, after a seemingly stupid hero saves the United States. The hostess boldly proposed that if she did not hate him within a day, she would have sex with him.
In fact, this is not a nonsense plot. Let’s go back to that story. In fact, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are all prisoners in the story. The man is trapped in a plain marriage and the female protagonist is trapped in a plain marriage. In his life.
Many people who scold bad movies feel that their sex scenes come suddenly, and love comes even more inexplicable. In fact, the two people did not have much affection at the beginning. The female protagonist tells the story to the male protagonist, in fact, on the one hand, it alludes to the male protagonist’s marriage. On the other hand, she hopes that she will no longer continue to be the prisoner of the flint and steel for heating. She keeps meeting with the male host. It can be said that like moths to the fire, all her hopes are pinned on an outside American. So she can tolerate the male protagonist calling his wife's name when having sex with her, she can also tolerate the male protagonist's emotionless behavior after the end, and even can give the Russian black boss a blow for the male protagonist. She just wants to be a person who burns down her wooden house, and a person who controls her own destiny.
At the beginning, the male protagonist had no feelings for the female protagonist. He just hoped that the loneliness he got in the marriage would be comforted by the female protagonist. The male protagonist of the sex scene at the beginning had no emotion at all, and his eyes were always evasive in the dialogue, he was indifferent like a stranger who was a prostitute. It wasn't until the heroine blasted the black boss for him that the hero really accepted the heroine emotionally and realized that he had to burn his wooden house.
It can be clearly found that when the male and female leaders met for the last time, Keanu’s eyes were completely different. Here, I want to praise Keanu’s acting skills, from the indifference at the beginning to the tenderness at the end. Keanu expressed everything with his eyes.
At the end, Keanu told the heroine's brother in Russian, asking him to tell the heroine later that he had burned his wooden house. At this time, Keanu's character is ready to go to death generously, because he must die, all forces will let the heroine go, and the diamond incident will come to an end. And he really burned a wooden house to reflect the burning change in his heart.
I think this movie is very similar to Li Cangdong's Burning. It's just that Li Cangdong's shots are more literary and expressive. And this film uses the outer shell of a gang crime film. In fact, the male and female protagonists are very lonely people who are stuck in their lives and constantly extricate themselves. This opportunity in the film is an opportunity for them to liberate their hearts and face themselves. Opportunity, they are all straws for each other, in embracing each other, comforting each other.
In fact, most of us are prisoners who constantly fire flint to keep warm, not the other kind who dare to burn ourselves and warm each other.
In fact, there are many metaphors in the film. For example, Keanu is a diamond merchant by profession, and the place where they met is Siberia. Keanu and the heroine's brother went to bear hunting and other plots. I hope the audience will appreciate it slowly.
