"Little" evil "Little" evil

Maybe many people who have seen it are asking, even if the male protagonist involves multiple murders, can he become a petty villain?

It is normal for some people to think this way, because our beliefs and ideological concepts are different from those of Western countries: our traditional concept is to define results in terms of results. Starting from the protagonist killing Billy, and then continuing to be used by others in an attempt to murder and commit evil, and finally lead to the tragic death of the good-hearted heroine in order to save him, this is an unforgivable sin in our opinion, the so-called heinous.

But the West generally has faith. They believe in God and human nature is good. Even if they make mistakes, they can be forgiven. It can be seen from the end of the film that the essence of the protagonist is still good, perhaps in the priest in prison, in the later heroine, or in his own children, his good side is completely activated; Not killing people, being influenced by a kind heroine, swollen father's love from beginning to end, and finally wiping off his father's fingerprints on the knife... All of these illustrate his awakening of humanity. In Christian words: he is experiencing After many trials, after he came to his senses, God has forgiven his sins. And the evil he caused before was only a temporary demon, forced by the form.

This is also what the director of this show tried to show. It was originally just a "little evil", but it caused irreversible consequences that he did not expect under a series of other factors. In other words, an old saying, "Don't do evil for small things"

But as a Chinese, I still speak from the perspective of a Chinese. All the evil deeds of the protagonist in the film seem to be forced and helpless, which is closely related to our lives. The bad guys are always explained as being forced by life, but have you ever thought that these so-called reasons are actually found to cover up their sins Excuses, excuses? Paralyze yourself, comfort relatives and the world: I am inherently good, he is not such a person, this world is not so sinful...

So in this sense, this movie is not a bad movie, although I don't see where the comedy comes from. (This is my first film review. If you make an inappropriate speech, please also ask Haihan. In addition, I feel a little speechless when I see someone spraying the parents of the protagonist. There is a problem. Above, thank you for browsing!)
