In the movie In Bruges, a central word is principle. When it comes to this movie, in a word familiar to Chinese people, it means meaning, and in a word familiar to Westerners, it means knighthood, which means chivalry. For these principles of life, they have given their lives.

For a righteous word, Ken spared his life to protect his friend Ray. Facing the situation where loyalty cannot be compromised, he chose loyalty on the tower. Give up resistance. Of course, for the fat Ken, Yi is bigger than Zhong. After all, he has already let Ray away once before. In the stairwell of the tower, he heard that Ray is still alive. Yi once again overwhelmed Zhong. He talked to the boss again. fight. Finally, for a meaning, he used his life to warn his friends. As for why righteousness can overwhelm loyalty. This is also in line with the Confucian principle of closeness and estrangement. He feels that he is close to his friends. He just feels that he owes him to the boss and respects him. There is no feeling of servility and kneeling.

His boss, in order to maintain the righteousness of "protecting the weak and small," killed his own employees, and finally committed suicide for this righteousness.

Ray is like an older child. Before he died, he advised his boss not to commit suicide. It also embodies the glory of human nature and conforms to the principles of righteousness and loyalty.

In short, to sum up this movie, it is the principle that people gave up their lives for the sake of the principle. Reflects the brilliance of human nature.

In addition, this film, in essence, its spiritual core is like Wu Yusen's "Across the World", "The True Colors of a Hero" and Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.
