The theme of the film is the midlife crisis and there seems to be nothing left to discuss.
The beginning of the story started with the car dealer’s husband looking for the killer, so I thought he was the protagonist of the whole film and would unfold the story from his perspective, but I forgot that the style of the Cohen brothers is anti-traditional and anti-genre. You think That's right, he just wants to be like that, so in the second half, it can be seen that the real protagonist is the policewoman, and the husband, the killer, the old man, blabla is soy sauce.
But even as strong as the heroine, she is still plagued by mid-life crisis. Why did the director make the policewoman pregnant? Because pregnant women are the most vulnerable and brave! A pregnant woman will have questions about life. Is this kind of life what I want? Will the birth of this child be a happy thing? Does my youth just pass away? Am I still attractive? These are all troubles of a pregnant woman. Of course, pregnant women are also indestructible. So why let the heroine receive a call from the police in the middle of the night? With the police quality of that small town, it seems that it’s all right to go to work early the next morning. It’s for you to see her life, a dull and boring behemoth husband, but at the same time he is also a responsible person who prevents you from picking out the problem. He is the one who puts your arms to sleep, and he will do it in the middle of the night. The person who supports your work and cooks eggs for you is the person who thinks that hugs and breakfast are romantic and caring. The stupid husband said for the first time that I would cook eggs for you, but did not move. The police said you don’t have to go. The stupid husband said the second time that I was going to cook eggs for you, but he still didn’t move. Saying you go to sleep again, the stupid husband seemed to be shaken, he did not move and did not answer, then the police's expression changed slightly, the stupid husband's phlegm movement eased the embarrassment, and finally When he got up, the policeman made a face. So you think this is the tenderness of a man? No, I said this is a kind of performance, family life itself is a kind of performance, his line is I want to make breakfast for you for the child in your stomach, your line is not dear, you don’t have to do it for me. Work hard, the lines are all said, but the action is not so positive, he is not willing to really not sleep, and you are not willing to really not eat your mouthful breakfast. Of course these two are good actors in love, so in the end they happily ate breakfast.
Receiving a call from an old lover in the middle of the night aroused the inexplicable affection of the policewoman. She is so lucky that she can visit her old lover just because of her work. Otherwise, do you think a pregnant woman with mobility impairment will be so active at work? So I can see that the director is amazing. The setting of the policewoman's body to be pregnant is really clever, and it has several functions. The policewoman will not cheat. She is just a little curious and a little eager to relive her dreams. She doesn't really want to do something with real swords and guns, so she can meet her lover beautifully but with a big belly. This is the crisis of all middle-aged women. The charm may still exist, the family may be happy, and the career may be successful, but who can resist the nostalgia for the youth of the past? It is not aimed at a certain person, but at the passing years. This is an emotion similar to narcissism.
But the policewoman has made a mistake that a woman should never make. It will be an old lover. This is something that all wise women shouldn't do, because it will wipe out all your fantasies. Imagination is always more beautiful than reality. The policewoman’s old lover may not have changed much in appearance, but her temperament is indeed wretched. Once a man becomes tense, he appears unmannered and will make women look down upon him. The old lover is not only nervous, but also very urgent. The policewoman is of course unhappy. She is a very smart woman. As a very professional police officer, she only needs a few words to know that she was wrong. Old The lover's restless physical contact, stammering incomprehensibility, and dodge eyes, the policewoman did not leave immediately because of politeness. Then the old lover threw out the man's last weapon: My wife is dead, I am a good man who loves her deeply, please have mercy on me. The old lover tried to arouse the sympathy of the policewoman. I think the policewoman must have broken down: Is there a mistake? I'm a policeman, want me to sympathize with you? How can I sympathize with you? Warm your body? Who will sympathize with me! But the policewoman's heart is also embarrassed at the same time. How did the good old days become like this? Well, life is really a devil, it is used to torture people.
One of the characteristics of women is gossip. The director is awesome. The policewoman said to her girlfriends that she was sorry that she couldn't visit you anymore. This time, I didn't have enough time for things. Is there really not enough time? Not enough to see girlfriends but enough to meet old lovers? So this is still a matter of priority. Then the characteristics of women's gossip unfolded, oh, it turns out that the old lover is insane and lying. I think the policewoman was really surprised at this moment. Do you think life is a bit bad? No, life is too damn bad. I think this episode is an outrageous plot than the whole film, and killing a few more people will not be as shocking as these words. The old lover choreographed the dream lover to death? Is it because of the unwilling hatred? Or is it the mental treatment given to him by a psychiatrist? I'm sorry you are really sick and I won't come back. Forget it. If you don't mean to marry the lover of your dreams, then get married. Let me find a way to make you a normal person. If the lover in your dream is dead, just as if you were married, she died of illness. A widower is better than a mental illness.
There are three things that motivate the policewomen to become conscious. One is that the whole film has been talking about killing people for a little bit of trouble, the other is that the husband himself hired someone to kidnap his wife for that little money, and the other is that it was once. 'S old lover turned into a imaginative maniac. These are all paranoid stories, so she feels that people should not have delusions, and that people should be on the right path, because once they take a fork in the road, they can never turn back. Therefore, the policewoman felt that she really should cherish, she should cherish her stable life on track, she should cherish the stupid husband at home, even though he seems to be painting a picture, he will never finish the painting, so whoever sees him has to ask a question. It's over the broken picture.
That's why the policewoman and the stupid husband had the first real communication in the film. It was not that I boiled eggs for you, or that I bought you earthworms, but about what they were thinking about. There is really warmth in this section. They encourage each other, and it seems that encouraging each other will be able to live a good life in the future. However, when the style of painting changed, the two looked at the belly of the policewoman with affection, saying that there were still two months left. The director is so bad that he wants to make a joke pretending to be warm at the only warm moment in the film. I can’t bear to tear them apart, but they are really not looking forward to a love crystallization, they are looking forward to the children in their stomachs that can bring some hope and opportunity to this cold life, as well as new goals. . The goal of life, in addition to catching the murderer and drawing stamps, is a higher goal of life.
So some people say that they envy the policewoman and her husband's friendship? I just haha.
So this film is completely covered with a weird plot and actually talks about the midlife crisis.
ps: In fact, the middle-aged people in the film have life crises. The annoying car dealer’s husband has an ugly wife and a wicked son. He is too old to get anything done and he has a mess; the dwarf killer goes out and walks. It's like no brainer, he can't understand anything except looking for a one-time woman; the tall killer is not interested in everything other than indulging in superficial soap operas. They have all the problems that everyone should have in middle age.
