saints who follow the will of god

The film begins with a morning prayer where Connor and Murphy kiss Jesus, implying a foreshadowing of their identities, devout saints. The story told by the priest about the death of a woman who was persecuted by the bad guys while everyone was watching indifferently shows the darkness of the society at that time. The director told us through the story that what we need to guard against is not only violence and persecution, but also the indifference of good people. . This is also the fundamental reason behind the story. (I have to say that the tattoos on the two are really handsome, as well as the cross they carry.)

Murphy and Connor met the police Willem Dafoe. In a manslaughter incident, Willem Dafoe (FBI police) sent Greenlee to buy food in the process of solving the case. Instead of positive criticism, he adopted this method, one high and one low. Immediate difference. The humorous episode is followed by irresponsible police. During the trial of the case, Murphy and Connor showed off Italian, German, Spanish, French... Awesome!

With the feeling of being a hero in the manslaughter incident and Rainy Night's phrase "Destroy all evil, goodness thrives", Connor and Murphy embark on their quest to eradicate evil. Locke joined them after their first move, forming like-minded saints. This is followed by the climax of the whole film, and the violent aesthetics is far from being full of incisive aspirations.

Step by step, Connor and Murphy became familiar with each other. In the process, Willem Dafoe discovered that Locke was a member of the crime team, and then found out that Connor and Murphy were the initiators. The unbelieving William asked the priest for help. , expressing William's ambivalence, arresting Connor and Murphy will not make up for the lack of law, and if you do not arrest you will not be responsible for your duties. After seeking advice, he chose to help the male lead.

William, who has different sexual orientations, sacrificed himself in order to help the male protagonist get rid of the dead end, and was also called by the gangster as a "damn first-rate" with absurd black humor. He rescued the male protagonist and got to know the "Duke".

The three continued to eradicate evil and entered the courthouse to give a shocking speech, persuading people to do good and overcome violence with violence.

"You have been chosen to show the world the existence of the three of us! You will witness what happened here today, and then you will tell others."

"We don't want you to be impoverished or starving, exhausted or sick, we want to destroy the corruption and evil within you. We will take every breath to destroy them, every breath One day we will behead the wicked until their blood falls from the sky. Don't kill! Don't rape! Don't steal! This is a law that every human being and every faith can abide by. These are not kind reminders, these are guidelines for behavior. , those who knowingly commit the crime will pay the most expensive price. There are all kinds of sins in the world, we only ask you not to commit unforgivable evils, do not become the most heinous, enter our territory, once you have violated our rules Article, one day you will look back and see the three of us behind you, and when that day comes, you will repent. And we will send you to any god you wish."

"We will be shepherds, for you, my lord, for you, inheriting authority from your hands, and our feet will swiftly execute your will, and with their souls, let the river that flows to you live forever In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

Very happy, the film is a pseudo-documentary at the end, expressing the author's solution to violence. Full of dark humor, the film follows a jumping logic of thinking William is not religious to help Connor and Murphy, the logic is self-contained and reasonable.

The reason that attracted me to watch the film was just the line "I can meet nine when I go to buy a pack of cigarettes..." After watching it, I felt hearty, Connor and Murphy's cool tattoos, black glasses, in the attitude of God The act of executing the bad guy and the prayer before the murder brought me great attraction. As the saying goes, it goes deeper and deeper.
