"Angry Bull": The Story of a Selfish Man

"The hero of this film is not bad, just completely selfish"

After watching such a movie, most people will think that it is a biographical film with a dramatic and tragic color, and it is actually true.

But I have no sympathy for what happened to the male protagonist at all.

Because the result of all this is only caused by his own selfishness and complete irresponsibility.

Yes, that’s right, he was trying to redeem his sins (because he suspected that Vicky had slept with Joey and others, he slapped Vicky not knowing how many slaps, and knocked Joey down in front of his younger siblings and their children, and then stunned with a punch. Vicky who came to stop her), let his opponent beat him into a pig in the boxing match. Despite this, he still did not realize that he was completely irresponsible to vent his anger, only that he had done "a bit too much".

Throughout the film, Jack acted like an adolescent boy, completely ignoring the feelings of others, and ignorant of the responsibility. When he was clearly told that there were two young girls who might be under 21 in his bar. Instead of inviting them out, he kissed the two girls, made vulgar jokes, and introduced them to other men.

Of course, the consequence of this is that Jack was taken away by the police. At this time, he still didn't feel any problem in introducing the two 14-year-old girls to men.

In order to obtain bail, she ran to Vicky’s house and took away his championship belt. Vicky informed him that his children were sleeping (and how did he do it? He picked up the hammer and smashed the jewels inlaid on the belt, shaking Shocked the dishes in the cupboard to the floor), did he think of his own child at this time? No, all he thinks is that he himself is about to be arrested, and he needs a sum of money.

This man releases his guilt through "self-abuse" or active "he abuse". After the release, he still has no reflection and continues his selfishness and irresponsibility.

Martin and other screenwriters have created such a selfish man who seems to have not passed his "puberty" very well.

This is almost the epitome of some men.

Sad but not worthy of sympathy.

    Bloody blood! Fortunately, the director processed it in black and white.

    All I know is: I was once blind, and now I see the light again; the contradiction of restlessness and fearlessness, indifference and fanaticism, he will always be just an angry bull when his fate rises or turns sharply.
