is not an accidental similarity plot ( In order to prevent translation troubles, the roles are always titled):
1. The milk-drinking policeman and the perverted murderer both sit on the sofa in front of the cowboy’s TV and drink milk. The two can watch their own images on the TV at the same time.
Guess: The Coen brothers want to show the similarities between good and evil police and criminals in the same thing. Many times, many things become a common feature of people, such as the attitude towards money, such as the attitude towards ordinary things.
2. Buying clothes Cowboys and murderers both buy clothes from passers-by because of their injuries, and they both charge high prices.
Guess: Both adopt the same humble attitude when it comes to buying and selling and asking for others, and use money to buy. It shows the values that everyone in this society agrees with, and also exaggerates the evil power of money.
3. A group of young people and teenagers, cowboys and murderers buy clothes from 3 young people and 2 young people, respectively, and their reactions in the transaction process showed a certain degree of the same sex. At the beginning, I will be concerned about the injury, which is out of nature; after the other party proposes to buy clothes, he loses his nature and the focus shifts to money.
Guess: One of the young people in the first group wanted to blackmail after the cowboy asked for beer, and only one of them felt that it should be enough. The second group of teenagers first gave clothes to the murderer, but after getting the money, the initial concern disappeared, and the two started a dispute over the money. Although these two groups of people are supporting roles in supporting roles, their appearance and performance represent a kind of values of the younger generation. Human nature is indifferent and money is the supremacy. This fits the theme of the old without a foundation, and the world is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
4. The parallel resemblance of the plot. Cowboys and murderers both deal with their wounds by themselves, and have multiple hints to socks and shoes. Although their positions are opposite, at the same time they have amazing consistency in many things.
Guess: For most of the film, I firmly believe that the cowboy is the unique male protagonist, but what the Coen brothers want is definitely the opposite and cruel similarity between the two. I insist that it is the Coen brothers who want to emphasize the role of money in people and this The same values of people in the world, this is the most interesting hint, and it is also a place that serves the theme.
Next are some other details that suggest the plot:
the part related to the perverted murderer:
Although he does not blink, he will be cautious every time he commits a crime. He will kill without wearing his shoes, and will see if there is blood on his shoes, sometimes there will be Selective killing-I think he is an overly principled person. He has his own principles for guessing coins or deciding the life and death of others. He kills countless people but does not violate communication. Even I think he appreciates people who have the same principle as him. For example, the community attendant, of course, he did not kill her because of his care, because there was someone in the toilet, and he didn't want to make any mistakes when things were going on. At the same time, he killed the hotel owner without disturbing the kitten, which also shows him. cautious. Of course, he also undoubtedly killed the cowboy's wife for two reasons: he went out to see his shoes, and the car that he drove when he left was hers.
The part related to the theme "The old has nowhere to rely on": The
cowboy's mother-in-law's chattering on the way to relocation and her death shortly afterwards, as well as the previous solitary state, all show the old man's state of nowhere to rely on. The same happened to the policeman’s father, who had outstanding military exploits, but he lived such a sluggish life after he got old, and he burned a pot of coffee a week with wild cats, and he had hemiplegia but still struggled in the last days. My son has a large and bright house, but he can only make a living in a dilapidated house, and some people are embarrassed. Of course, this has something to do with American values. I'm not criticizing the police, I just want to find a situation where there is no one to rely on. The police’s state of "nothing to rely on" is mainly related to the spirit, and the world becomes incomprehensible. This is related to the monologues that they come to at the beginning. People kill people for unknown reasons, they are so experienced, and ultimately they can't do anything with the killer.
Basically, everything I want to talk about is covered. Now there are several controversial parts: Who gets the money? Is the big boss’s accountant dead? What's the meaning of the monologue that looks black and humorous in the end?
