suppress violence with violence

According to classmates, there is no big scene, the plot is very slow, you can watch while resting. . So why do you like this movie so much?
It seems that what I like is the violence inside. Violence that can eliminate violence

There are too many injustices in this society. This is probably a common phenomenon in the world. What can we do in the face of injustice? It can only suppress the most direct violent impulse in people's hearts and swallow it. This movie can satisfy people's desire, and let us get psychological pleasure in these dozens of minutes.

I don't know if the director thinks the same way. In the movie, the son was bullied at school, and finally solved the problem violently; Tom was forced to use violence to kill the black boss. Want to be reasonable? All you get is humiliation and oppression, like what Tom's son met at school, and what Tom met at the negotiating table.

I'm afraid the director won't really encourage the audience to suppress violence with violence. For the movie, just watch it. The next time you encounter a fire, just bear it and pass it.

Alas, life is so absurd

    The rhythm of the narrative is slow enough, dum.
