There are no heroes in cities, they are all sick

"Am I the bad guy?"

Of course you're a bad guy, but in the chaotic world of fuckers, you've become so bad that everyone wants to vent

A small supermarket with random prices, a boss who forces you to consume, who doesn’t want to smash the store into a mess with a stick?

Bullying gangsters try their best to coerce and snatch money from you. Who doesn't want to summon up the courage in front of a knife to beat his own mother with his fist?

The shop assistants with fake smiles refused to sell them because of the deadly rules on the premise that they clearly had the food. They sold fake and inferior food and used a seemingly low smile to override the customers. Who doesn't want to tear up his disguised mask and let him really Serve like an adult?

A sociopath who discriminates against homosexuality and supports the Nazis, and wants the world to be in chaos and blood, who doesn't want to pry open his head and let him taste his own perverted brain?

Who doesn't want to give this group of selfish leaders a blow when they inexplicably order the rectification of roads that have no problems in order to clear the financial allocation, causing everyone to get stuck in the hot and anxious back and forth?

Two old men who are about to go into the coffin occupy the huge and empty grassland to play golf. Outside the fence, there are poor people who can't afford to eat and sit on the side of the road. Who doesn't want to go in and grab the club and let the old man strip his clothes and let him Seeing that he looks like a man just like the poor outside?

...

The above could be the hysterical and intense fantasy of anyone in a bad life

What if in a sick society, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others, and if they offend me, I will offend others?

I'm sorry, if you are just an ordinary person, but you have a fearsome power and use it arbitrarily, then you are a "criminal".

I like movies that point directly at the dark side of people's hearts, spread out in front of the screen, and let people who can't do anything about life and face the terrible environment around them get a refreshing emotional catharsis

But in addition to venting, we know that in reality we are not impulsive people who use violence to control violence

We will be jealous of liars, fools, opportunists who make enviable wealth by seemingly simple means

We will also comfort ourselves that the wicked will be punished sooner or later for their selfishness and greed

We also experience compassion and empathy for those who have suffered similar to our own

If you really want to change everything that is unpleasant in front of you

It's not enough just to be filled with blood and righteous indignation

Or, find your own way of survival in the turbidity, supplement yourself with enough strength, knowledge and wisdom, and use your strength to lift yourself out of the turbid water.

Or, find another way of looking at the world, transform the uneasiness and pain you feel into a unique experience like a novel and a movie, show the delicate status quo of life from your own unique perspective, and let the sound spread to farther and higher places , reminding more capable people not to only enjoy their own interests, but to do their bit for the improvement of the environment more carefully

Society is made up of each individual and is pulled by stronger individual organizations

Difficulties, pains and disasters do not diminish with development

To live a meaningful life is to be in perpetual risk

The higher the mountain, the thinner the air

Ocean storms get stronger the farther away

After venting, focus on the beauty around you that you can observe and touch

Ask and cherish what you have in front of you

step by step

Feel the turbid world with your heart

Discover what only you can discover

own

Faint starlight.

    Three-and-a-half stars, jumping over the wall, normal people's self-venting on the dark side of society. The film is not like Joe Schumacher's style, and the role is not like the role that Michael Douglas is good at. The film is cult, and the protagonist lacks a process similar to "Straw Dog". Outbursts that seem reasonable and irrational.

    If Losers is mad, it can make the city tremble three times, a violent and ironic movie from then on, when I watch it, it feels a little cheerful, but after that it will be a sorrow.
