The professional ethics of the killer

This film wins from the perspective. Movies that usually talk about killers are either rigid, such as "Sniper"; or add some tenderness, such as "This Killer Is Not So Cold"; but starting from the career of the killer, it was the first one I saw.
The killer is also a profession, and there are also elegant and angry young people on duty, as well as conservative and hippie people; of course, they also have their own professional ethics. For the two professional killers and two partners with very different personalities and hobbies in this film, the intersection between them is the "work" cooperation. But the friendship established at work is revealed in one of them being forced to kill the other. I like that the plot of this movie is so unexpected. I thought that the two were sent to Bruges to perform assassination missions, but unexpectedly, one was going to kill the other, but in fact the other was already planning to commit suicide...
Clues to the development of the plot Some are like "Crazy Stone", but it is not so compact. The film does not focus on this, but is trying to express some humanity and make people think. A good film allows you to think after watching it, and remember most of the plot in the future.

    The deadly killer film featuring black humor has become another sub-genre. The killers are constantly being dragged away from their posts, and it is the mid-life crisis and salvation that replaces the cruel ones, from the problem solver to the problem. The three killers this time allowed McDonagh, the director and screenwriter, to play with a series of casual coincidences, save any foreshadowing, and concoct the last futile and tragic redemption of nothingness. A dead futility, nothing can be stopped; a dead irony, nihilistic principles can not withstand God's joking; a dead regret, the suicidal tendency of drug-addicting has not been able to save the last three wrong moves in his life: kill Children, beating diners, and blind robbers are all caused by violence. Bruges was originally just a holiday destination for a few British people, but unexpectedly it became their permanent paradise.

In Bruges quotes

  • Eirik: I can't see! I can't see!

    Ray: Of course you can't see! I just a shot a blank in your fucking eye!

  • Ray: A lot of midgets tend to kill themselves. A disproportionate amount, actually. Hervé Villechaize off of Fantasy Island. I think somebody from the Time Bandits did. I suppose they must get really sad about like... being really little and that... people looking at them, laughing at them, calling them names. You know, "short arse". There's another famous midget. I miss him but I can't remember. It's not the R2D2 man; no, he's still going. I hope your midget doesn't kill himself. Your dream sequence will be fucked.

    Chloë: He doesn't like being called a midget. He prefers dwarf.

    Ray: This is exactly my point! People going around calling you a midget when you want to be called a dwarf. Of course you're going to blow your head off.
