This is a movie that is too depressing, just like the design style of the poster, the movie is also full of rich black atmosphere. At the beginning, the various violent performances of the male protagonist, coupled with the mumbling after drinking, and the uncontrolled anger, make people feel inexplicably depressed, and the violence of the male protagonist seems to be uncontrolled. With the development of the plot, we know his messy life. His wife passed away for 5 years, and he has no children or relatives. His beloved dog was accidentally kicked to death by himself, and his best friend was about to die from cancer. He drinks and gambles every day, and takes out his anger at others at every turn. His anger is confusing and annoying.

Until one day, he ran into a store when he was furious and hid in order to calm his anger. The hostess of the shop, also known as the heroine, is a future Christian, she kept comforting him and even praying for him. It is a pity that the male protagonist is not appreciative, and even speaks evilly, saying that she believes in Christianity because she has no children. The storyline then turns to the heroine, who seems to be living a happy life (aside from having no children), but her husband is actually a polite and perverted hypocrite who constantly suspects, tortures, insults, and even beats her up. The male protagonist visited her small shop many times, and one day she was bumped into by her husband. In fact, the two who were nothing at all became his wife's infidelity in the suspicious eyes of her husband. Then there was a series of involuntary beatings and insults. Although the heroine repeatedly tolerated it, she finally ran away from home after being tortured. She came to the hero's house. The hero saw that she was not accepted by relatives and friends, so he had to let her stay temporarily. They spent a few days together, sometimes awkward and sometimes harmonious, and both fell in love with each other. In the end, the male protagonist decided to solve the problem completely, took her house key, and was going to go to his husband to make it clear, but found that the female protagonist actually ran away from home after killing him that day.

Why is the movie called "Tyrannosaurus"? The explanation in the film is the nickname given by the actor to his dead wife, because his wife is very fat, and every time he goes upstairs, it looks like a Tyrannosaurus rex on the stairs. In fact, the anger in a person's heart is like a tyrannosaur hidden deep in the body, and it will explode at no time. The male protagonist is often troubled by his violent tendencies, and he himself said that his wife is a good person, but if his wife is still alive, he will still treat her like a dog, because he is such a person. The heroine, on the other hand, hides her anger deeply. After her husband raped her several times, she chose to forgive him, but from her eyes, she could see that her inner "tyrannosaur" had been formed, until the anger finally turned "violent". Dragon" "activated" and made a big mistake.

Why are they plagued by violence? The answer can probably be obtained from the mouth of the male protagonist, who said he hates his father, so we can probably guess his childhood experience. The children in the neighborhood provide confirmation of this point. The experience of the child is actually a microcosm of his childhood. Seeing the child's violent environment is like seeing the previous self. Both the perpetrator and the perpetrator are actually victims in the end, which is actually what the director wants to tell us. The saddest thing is that the neighbor's child was bitten in the face by a vicious dog. Will his future still be in such a violent environment? Really made people sweat for him.

Fortunately, the director arranged a fairly bright ending, otherwise the audience may really "die sadly" after watching the movie.
