Not classic enough, but at the threshold

"Seven Neuropathies" may not be regarded as a classic movie, and the director's control of the turn of the story is not as good as those of those famous in film history, so that impatient audiences will mistakenly think that it is a disorderly mix of various styles. . In a sense, this is true, Billy is easily reminiscent of gunpowder action movies, while Matt is the representative of the moderate middle class, and the Quakers are a reminder of the spirituality of religion in Western culture. Putting these three together to discuss love and peace in the mouths of hippies would be out of line. But "Seven Neuropathies" doesn't have the cheesiness of Hollywood or the contempt for mainstream culture that rebel culture does. The ubiquitous black humour conjures up Two Smoking Barrels, and the Hollywood sarcasm conjures up the old Woody Allen thing, but this movie belongs to neither. The answer to the film is contained in the conversation between Billy and Matt, maybe only a lunatic can save a middle-class old man who bursts into a violent world, and only a religious can let go of the fear of death and not be driven by fear to kill, maybe the most important thing is not how Survive the violence, but how not to be drawn into the chain of violence. MacDonald is still young, and "Seven Neuropathies" can be seen as his transformation from a single style, albeit not at the best level, but he still has a chance.

Seven Psychopaths quotes

  • Myra: Do you ever worry we was wrong all those years, and there ain't no heaven and there ain't no nothing?

    Hans: Of course, I worry God loves us. I know He does. He's just got a funny way of showing it sometimes.

    Myra: Sometimes I think God's gone crazy sometimes. Stuff He does, stuff He don't do.

    Hans: Well, He's had a lot to contend with in his time, too, you know. Bastards killed His kid, too.

    Myra: Don't say "bastards", honey.

    Myra: It's just a word, Myra.

  • Billy: What the hell happened?

    Marty: Some punks jumped us. Said they were looking for a little shih tzu. Then some other punk killed those punks.

    Billy: I've only been gone 10 fucking minutes!
