Kindness and no holidays

The other side of the killer, the side of ordinary people.

When I first saw the name, I thought it was another killing action movie, but unfortunately, I was wrong. The movie didn't have a thrilling chase and a large-scale gunfight. Instead, it took a long time to describe the plain life of the two killers in Bruce, until Harry's phone rang... everything changed.

The killer does have a kind side, Raymond and Kenny each have their own kindness. Raymond has been upset because of the innocent killing of a child, and even hopes to end the pain through self-closing; Kenny is willing to give Raymond a new life and chooses to go against the boss Harry, who is kind to him, even knowing it. Will die. Perhaps from the point of view of a killer, they are too unprofessional and uncomfortable, but I am not a killer after all. I want to be an arms dealer at best. ).

So far, the point is still not mentioned. In my opinion, the biggest shock to me from the film is the killer's desire to return to ordinary people and his determination to trade his life for return. Who would have thought that an indifferent killer would look like this, at least I can hardly imagine. However, the more unimaginable things can bring people's thought shock! In fact, no matter what occupation you are in, you are ordinary, you are eager to be loved, and you are looking forward to peace. Even if you can spend a lot of time, feasting and feasting, but when a person returns to the residence, there is only loneliness. At this moment, you only hope that one person can accompany you to be satisfied.

People are really weird. When everything is normal for you, you want a good car, a big house, and a prestigious position. When you encounter a sudden change or a disease, you may only want to be alive, but when everything is normal again, you have forgotten yourself about life. His true thoughts, once again squeezed into the trend of chasing fame and fortune, until the next misfortune appears...this is a bad cycle, because people are always unsatisfied, is it good or bad?

There is another entry point, which is the damn rule. Harry abides by "the killer who kills children cannot survive in this world." It is precisely because of this rule that he went to great lengths to kill Kenny who was blocking him, and he also killed Raymond as he wished. Of course, he ended himself stupidly and honestly. Why can't you think about whether such a rule is necessary? Perhaps it is too cruel to talk about the rules of killing, but no matter what, what we have to do is to look forward, not to mention Raymond’s nature is not bad. We need to give him a chance and give him a new life. This kind of life will be beautiful, but those really cold-blooded bastards must be eliminated. They don't need opportunities, they just need to disappear from the world, the sooner the better.

The killer has no holidays, and
kindness has no holidays.
