Deliberately reverse the plot into a new routine

Seeing the newly released list of the Golden Globe Awards this year, seeing the recommendations from old friends excitedly, searching and downloading with great excitement, perhaps because of the high expectations, the overall impression is very general, and seeing the opening ending is also Didn't bring me the slightest touch, "What the fuck!" blurted out! ! It's like taking off your pants, you show me Hello Kitty, oh, FUCK!
I quite like the movies about small villages and towns that reveal the feelings and humanity of small villages and towns. The humanity society of small villages and towns has condensed very considerable human highlights and bad points, such as "Outstanding Citizen", "Tailor", "Hunting" and so on. Such films are torn apart. The warm-hearted masks of village and town residents expose the narrow, selfish, false, and dark human nature hidden in them, which is contemplative. In this film, the heroine Mildred Hayes set up three billboards for her daughter who was raped and killed to question the police. The residents' attitude was that they could sympathize with each other, but if they were to take responsibility for questioning the police, they must do so. When this team offends the power department for this, they will become the perpetrators of the victim for this, and they will take the initiative to eliminate "alien" people, such as the dentist, the heroine's ex-husband, and the church priest. This kind of selfish humanity is covered in many such films, and this film covers it but does not go too deep.
The first half of the film deliberately creates a kind of police inaction, police officers violently use power for personal gain, suspected of racial discrimination, homosexual discrimination, discrimination against dwarf people with disabilities, sheltering soldiers, etc. It seems that I want to take the Oscar's "political correctness" route. As a result, the three letters of the police chief in the latter half completely reversed the plot. It turned out that the chief was a sturdy husband and father with a gentle heart. He was not inaction, but had worked hard but had no clue. He suffered from advanced cancer and was loved by the residents. Good police. And the violent police officer Dixon also has his own story, it is his family relationship that caused him to be so eccentric and violent! I go! I go! This film can also be called "Three Letters from the Chief". Although the film pursues dramatization and absurdity, it always makes people feel that something is wrong. The deliberate reversal is always awkward. Just like the "Invisible Guest" released in 17 years, the over-deliberate reversal of the plot becomes a one This kind of new routine is full of sincerity and lack of sincerity in the gimmick.
The film began to work hard to create a kind of "restricting violence with violence is a reliable way to solve things", but then it turns to exaggerate "anger can lead to greater anger". Only by calming the heart and being full of love for others can we see the truth and solve it. Something way. Although the film tells us that it is wrong to look at others and things one-sidedly, but suddenly from a big tiger to Hello Kitty, with only three letters, the persuasiveness is a bit weak. In a small town, knowing each other's roots, do you need a last word to understand what kind of character the other party is? The people in the town know that the director's character loves him, but this violent mother doesn't understand? Colleagues who have worked together for three years changed the other party's dying words. The other party always regarded you as a brother. After death, he beat the advertisers for you and was expelled for this reason. Brothers, what did you usually do?
Of course, the performance level of all the actors in it is very awesome. Coen’s wife is in a grassy sky. Oh, now the popular saying is that the dirty mouth does not leave the mouth, and the powerful manner hides the infinite guilt and self-blame, alone. The softness of time, the fearful heart under the stubborn mask when threatened by the violent police, and the annoyance when seeing the other side of things, Cohen's wife expresses perfectly with facial muscles, eyes and body. But I like Dixon, the violent violent stunned police officer, who is terrifying, disgusting, pitiful and loving, perfect! ! It deserves to be the best male match.
Your honey, my arsenic. It's just a personal impression, a good movie may be praised, or it may be mixed. In fact, this is interesting.
