"Burn after Reading" is a black comedy film directed by the world-famous director duo Coen Brothers. It tells the story of the CIA agent Osborne (John Malkovich) who was expelled for drinking and started writing scandals in revenge. Memoirs. His wife Katie (Tilda Swinton), who had long wanted to divorce him, accidentally left the financial investigation CD in the gym because of the financial investigation of the law firm. The stupid fitness coach Chad (Brad Pitt) and the gym employee Linda (Francis McDomond) found the CD and wanted to blackmail Osborne. At the same time, Federal Agent Harry (George Clooney), who had an affair with Osborne’s wife, Katie, has always liked to mess around with flowers because he met Linda, a gym employee on a dating site, so he got involved. Extortion incident. Several people started a complicated entanglement around this disc.
The movie is not long, the steps are compact, and the relationship between people is like a memorandum. It leaves the audience unlimited imagination. It seems thin, but it is full in the impression.
A few small people who may not be called small people, a farce that cannot be called a comedy, or a serious comedy, a joking tragedy. The end of life is so dramatic, like a Game Over, making the audience unconsciously fantasize that it can be repeated again.
When the idiot played by Pitt was shot and killed, I thought it was a joke of the director, and I might return it again, but it is not "Scary Roller" after all. In this regard, it is closer to "Pulp Fiction", an unexpected death. The death is inexplicable, and the death is worthless, which is hilarious and emotional. The plot therefore derives more absurdity, and with the absurdity, it reflects the sorrow of the world-the one who thinks it is glamorous, is the worst one that has been calculated.
My favorite Brad Pitt, his performance in this film is amazing and brings me a lot of laughs. Even when he got a headshot and George Clooney checked his identity, I could temporarily forget the pain of the handsome guy's death and laugh heartlessly.
