One is Boss, one is Renault, and the other is "The Eighth Man".
Scene 1: The three young men make an appointment to kill the "Godfather" at the time.
The details worth recalling are that the Boss showed sharpness and bloodthirsty at the beginning, while the "eighth man" showed indecision and fear. As for Raynor, I think he was avenging Ian. (Ian: It appeared in the picture with Reynolds in prison. The exact relationship is not very clear. According to Ian's sentence "You always make me worry and fear", it should be enough to infer that their relationship is relatively close. En told Reynolds never to go back to prison, which means to let him never step into the underworld, and said that the war will never stop until the blood is flowing. Reynolds was indeed repairing cars before Ian died and did not start a gangland career, when After he heard that Ian was murdered, Ian's face appeared in his mind, and he decided to avenge Ian, then scene 1.)
So, it can be inferred from this that Boss is a cold-blooded monster, even if it is to kill the Pope , he is fearless. His purpose is to get ahead. And Reynolds, is a man of love and righteousness, cherishing friends and family. In the end, the "eighth person" is a supporting role, just like Don Quixote's Shangqiu, there is always such a servant beside the desperados who are in the arena. He lacks courage and can see from the heart. have his share.
Habits determine character, character determines destiny.
Renault is a man of love, so he will become the boss, but he is not really a cold-blooded killer who kills without blinking an eye, and in the end he doesn't want to be a gangster anymore, and decides to redistribute the underworld forces. He "would rather sell rackets than drugs", "successfully redistributed the underworld forces in Marseille for 3 years", etc... These actions made Boss very annoyed, he wanted to do drugs because he "felt a lot of money", but Boss was "very afraid of you (Reynolds), and he didn't even dare to go out alone." He wanted to do a drug business, and he was afraid that Reynolds would know, so he decided to kill Reynolds.
Scene 2: The subordinates urged Reno to kill the Boss's lackey, but Leno did not agree, and he didn't want to take revenge. He said "this way the whole city will become a battlefield", and he promised to let the lackey as long as he told the truth. go. Renault kept his promise and let Boss go, and then he was shot. Renault kept his promise and let go of one of Boss' lackeys, and then he got the scene of his subordinates being cut to pieces.
His subordinates were dismembered, and Renault decided to avenge his subordinates.
The details worth recalling are that the Boss and his subordinates are extremely cruel to the enemy, and they have no humanity at all when they treat their own people, killing them at will. But Renault always regarded Boss as a friend, and wanted to recognize Boss' son as his godson. In the end, he asked Boss why he wanted to kill him, and asked him if he remembered that he had vowed to be a friend for life. Treating his subordinates, not like his subordinates, but more like a friend. He said he wanted to let people go, but his subordinates had opinions, but he actually reasoned with his subordinates. The boss said: I have my principles, don’t you have your own principles? In fact, I secretly thought this was ridiculous. The boss is the boss, and the boss has to decide what to do. Does it need to be so hard-hearted and reasonable? Well, maybe this is the reason why Renault can become the boss. Convince people with virtue.
In the end, the reason why I wrote this review, I have a friend who said that the "eighth person" was behind the scenes, and Reynolds finally chose to forgive him, I don't really agree with this statement. Furthermore, many people have repeatedly questioned that 22 shots did not kill Reynolds. They felt that this was a loophole of the screenwriter, and they repeatedly emphasized that the screenwriter was insulting the audience's IQ. I also disagree with this statement.
First, as has been analyzed above, the "eighth person" is a person who has no decision-making power. He is a Shangqiu. Second, if he is behind the scenes, he should be the person who wants Renault to die the most, then he will Will not shoot empty guns. (It was explained in the movie that he deliberately shot empty-handed not to hit Renault) So I don't think it's reasonable to say that the "eighth man" is behind the scenes.
This story is based on a true story. In the true story, the protagonist is miraculously survived by 22 gunshots, and finally begins to take revenge. This thing is amazing, but it is a fact, it has happened, and it has nothing to do with the screenwriter's loophole.
I still haven't figured out what the meaning of this movie is. I have a very deep experience that if I come out and hang out, I will have to pay it back sooner or later.
