a particular state of mind

Although it is a public comment on 7.1, I didn't give too much hope, but the atmosphere of "either you die or I die" created is adequate. Movies like this in the early years still pursue a certain internality behind the fighting, such as the ending of the story, which can further describe the character of the protagonist. As for the description of the protagonist's halo, it is not so blindly presented.

What does it take to be a killer?

Strong physique. One is to protect themselves and kill others, and the other is to exchange for many women. A murderer often does not have a stable living environment or a stable sex object, so he needs to forage in various social situations to win beautiful women.

Calm thinking. In the early stage, you need to know who the other party is, the living environment, and the way of thinking, that is, a game of ideas. If you don't think about the opponent's weakness and the way to survive, how can you find a fatal blow? The next step is to let the other party have a proper way to die. There are many ways to kill people, by brute force? With guns? Or in an unintelligible way. Of course, the last one is more appropriate, so, Jason said, either pass on others, or fake suicide, or create an accident, Jason chose the third one. This is also a highlight of the film. Because we have watched too many movies of tough guys beating tough guys, the aesthetics are inevitably fatigued. The point is that there is no fun of ideological struggle in this kind of story.

a certain state of mind. Does the protagonist have feelings? After watching the film, it is inevitable to ask such questions. First of all, for such an action movie that is close to "fast food", the word emotion is not necessary to come up. Jason, because of the company's instructions, killed his boss and friends, is this a person with feelings? He obviously killed his friend and killed his friend's child. And also his friend. I think the specific mentality he has been reiterating should be: Live soberly?

To live is the premise.
