This killer

When I watched a lot of literary films, I wanted to watch a crime film or a crime film or an action film that didn't take too much brainstorming. So I picked this film "Killing with a Knife". Brother Tom is as handsome as always. His hair is gray and he will be more handsome. Wearing a gray suit, he can complete various difficult fighting moves. He runs at a speed of 100 meters. The quality of the suit is really good and he can’t open the crotch. ? I often see plainclothes policemen or killers in western movies, especially action movies, wearing suits and shoes on missions. They used to be awe-inspiring, but now they are not surprising. This kind of routine has also directly affected Hong Kong movies. Remember "The True Colors of Heroes" "Mr. Ma in "? And a large wave of gangster movies, as well as Jackie Chan’s movies, he himself basically does not wear formal clothes, but his opponent or the last big boss often suits and leather shoes, but from the habit, suits are people’s professional attire and they wear them at work. Yes, plainclothes police perform official duties and killers enter the house to kill people all belong to work, and that’s right. The title of the movie didn’t feel very good. Killing with a knife might be the vision of the killer Vincent. He used the professional advantage of the taxi driver Max as a cover, and finally blamed him, but this idea failed to compare the direction of the plot. A good performance is not as real as the name "Kidnapping", my personal opinion. Speaking of the plot, the script is very interesting. First of all, the basis for the story to be compiled is that in the single-digit years at the beginning of this century, mobile phones are still phones. Everyone knows Motorola. If Tommy is using an iPhone, a type of call is installed. As a navigation application, it is estimated that he will not be so stupid to drag a disobedient oil bottle to complete his KPI, and he will not be arranged by the screenwriter to let the oil bottle be shot to death by random guns, so science and technology are the first. Productivity, thinking of this level, I would say that the main reason why social security has improved in recent years is the development of technology. Because of the surveillance everywhere, there are obviously fewer cases of violence; the money is deposited in WeChat and Alipay, and the thief is unemployed. ; If you want to implement some online fraud through technological advancement, you have to have high IQ and large-scale group operations, and you have to hide abroad. In the same way, the crime script is probably not easy to write. The brains of this film can be said to be well developed more than ten years ago, but now it can only be said to be viewed from a historical perspective, and it is even a bit nostalgic. Feel it. Let's discuss the story of the movie again. I personally feel that the original intention of the creator was to express a deeper theme. For example, Vincent helped Max with psychological construction and enlightened him not to have too much sympathy for the murdered object, because of the large number of strangers. Death happens all the time; there are also screaming at Max’s dreams and criticizing his inclination to dream and not daring to act. The former can also be seen in the design of the ending. When Max knew Vincent When the last target of the assassination was the female teacher who came to talk about, he did not hesitate to try his best to save her. This seems to reveal a more interesting phenomenon of interpersonal relationship: the fate of real strangers. We only have moral inclination to right and wrong, and when a stranger has a one-sided bond with us, we will immediately have an emotional connection, and the other's fate and experience suddenly become important. I don’t know if there is any research in anthropology or psychology that supports the phenomenon I have observed. I call it the "acquaintance effect." Many people say that the ending of the story is not very good. I also think that Yuqing Yuli Atang should not die. Of course, Yufa is a different matter. He is calm-headed, strong in martial arts, and high emotional intelligence. He is very clear and reasonable. I just complimented Max’s mother, the male number one, with a compliment. Such a good individual, arranged for such an ending, can only be explained as the film creator is to promote the main theme or the script can’t go on.
