The second time I watched it not long ago, on Sunday morning, the central 6 sets, I was standing in the living room at home watching. I don't know why, as long as I watch TV in the morning, I always stand and watch it. When it comes to movies, I still feel uncomfortable. It’s just strange that I am not bored with the plot that I’m already familiar with, and I didn’t even think about turning the stage. Instead, I watched it all the way in a daze, everything was quiet. , It seems that the night in Los Angeles in the movie slowly covered me.
But for a moment when Audioslave's "Shadow of the sun" sounded in the movie, I suddenly felt as if I had been penetrated, and a hazy heart suddenly calmed down and settled. Like a midnight sun, muddy and warm, waking me up from the night. Let this happen in the night of Los Angeles. The story of a taxi driver and a killer becomes clear before me. Seeing taxi drivers walking through the streets of Los Angeles silently carrying killers, like an angel carrying a devil to harvest or save lives, I even felt that this night of killing suddenly revealed its beautiful and peaceful side. This night is so beautiful.
I also prefer to regard this episode as the climax and finishing touch of the film, rather than the action scenes where gunshots were made before and after. From this moment on, the momentum of the two people began to slowly reverse. The end of the story may feel a bit far-fetched. The experienced killer failed and was killed in the duel with the clumsy taxi driver. It makes people feel fake. But I think maybe the assassin didn't want to kill the driver at all, he may no longer be a devil, he may decide not to kill anymore, because it's dawn, starting from the midnight sun.
