Old version of "Old Nowhere"

The role of the policewoman is equivalent to the Tommy Lee Jones in "Old Nowhere". She did not understand. She didn't understand where the evil came from. The tall killer is the predecessor of JaVale Baden, violence is not a cause, and no amount of blood can scare him. Putting people in the wood chipper is a piece of cake. The woman was killed only because she was too noisy.

The whole movie is about ordinary people, no wisdom, no tricks. All methods are stupid. In the end, it was a mess, and many people died. The policewoman was pregnant and took the time to meet her old lover in a strange city. As a result, the old lover was schizophrenic and the stories she told were all made up.

A piece of ice and snow, life in a small town with no future. Completely gloomy and boring. Just as one of the gangsters said to the parking staff: "You are destined to live like this and stay here for the rest of your life." The second time he came back, he changed another person, not knowing whether it was a shift or the previous person resigned. But the latter one was obviously more miserable, and he was directly destroyed.

Most of the Coen brothers' movies tell stories about inexplicable evil, a sudden breakdown in life (how a timid gangster became a wicked man after being beaten under the stimulation of his peers). The strange thing is that the audience will have pity for everyone, all. Whether they are humble and boring or irritable, the audience sympathizes with them as if they sympathized with themselves. Don't you have any pity for Javier Baden in "Old Nowhere"? A pure killing machine.

Yesterday everyone discussed Murong Xuecun. I said to him: "The dissatisfaction with society is too strong, and it also affects his writing." Someone posted his satirical article about Lu Jinbo, and he talked about the evil of human nature. Of course Lu Jinbo was wrong, but he also changed the concept a bit. "Show people the ruins in the world, and tell him the origin of the evil." Of course, this is right, but if it's just exaggerated without mercy, then it's inferior. I have read only one of his "Cherry Eden", the theme is to criticize people's excessive pursuit of money, the description inside is rendered, one-sided, rough, and symbolic. I don't like it very much. It is strange that some writers have a good understanding of writing, but they write in a different way.

    I want to watch all the old movies of the Coen brothers!

    8 points. A very good story, all kinds of black. That "true story"... is actually fake and speechless. This woman always appears in Cohen's movies, she turns out to be Cohen's wife
