It turns out that Road to Destruction was born out of comics, but also from the real background. The gangster theme of the Prohibition Era is a theme that will never be explored. Profound, taboo, oppressive, and far from our era, the characters are mysterious and mysterious like wandering soul legends. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are in another time and space.
The quality of the film is high, the standard Hollywood narrative style, the era is clearly marked, and the bloody and violent shots are diluted by the precise stop-motion shots and beautiful long shots in the period. Whether this is the so-called violent aesthetics, I don't know.
Okay, let’s talk about the characters. Tom Hanks’ simple and honest appearance allows the audience to accept his revenge. In fact, to put it bluntly, this is an action to eradicate the underworld. Everyone is an executioner, and no one deserves sympathy. Just like what the gang leader said in the church cellar, this character is really brilliant, with blue eyes exuding kindness, determination and grief, he already knows that he has to pay back when he comes out, and he said the last beautiful line to go. die. From beginning to end, there is no unnecessary nonsense.
The teenager represents the new life, no longer relying on weapons and violence, but moving towards a peaceful and simple farm life with a standard bright ending. So that so many people have died in front of them, there must be a good result.
Is life really so beautiful?
The repression of an era will always come to a big explosion at the end, how can the desire to pursue pleasure in human nature expect to get something for nothing, the desire to kill (secret dance hall), the desire to kill (photographer killer), and the desire to anger (the son of the underworld boss) , which is probably something that humans can always think about.
