I have watched the first hostel 3-4 times, and I watched it all while jumping, skipping the bloody scenes. To be honest, these characters are still quite good, whether they are victims or perpetrators. All performed well.
The first character, the male protagonist (Paxton), wants to become a lawyer, a typical realist, and lawyers should be all debaters with more rigorous thinking and logic, but the male protagonist does not seem to be very suitable, but He still has a sense of justice, otherwise he wouldn't take the risk to save the Japanese girl, and his mind is still relatively bright. After Ollie disappeared, he has been looking for it. After Josh disappeared, he realized that it was not so simple, and immediately found the local police. Need help, of course, luck is also very good, and in the murder factory pretending to be dead to escape from the factory, the psychological quality is not bad, the meaning of the German dialogue when facing the butcher is to make the perpetrator have some concern for him, at least To give himself a chance to live, he is also kind-hearted. He seizes the child who stole his mobile phone, but when he sees the innocent face of the child, his heart softens and he is just and awe-inspiring. (The first ending) Although the scene of killing the old doctor is a little bit Bloody, but the feeling of revenge is understandable, after all, his friend Josh died tragically. (Second ending) Slightly dark, kidnapped the old doctor's daughter. Male protagonist, I feel that he is the kind of better person in the society, he has almost all the qualities, kindness, justice, alertness, quick-witted, not panic when encountering things, he can be regarded as a decent person .
The second character, Josh, wants to become a writer. Writers are all idealists and have illusions about the future, but Josh is a little timid and cautious. Facing the old doctor's first encounter, the old doctor's unintentional actions It really scared him, and when they met for the second time, it was the old doctor who helped him solve a bunch of children's malicious attacks on Josh, and Josh's attitude towards the children was a little weak, showing that Josh was timid. Man, by the time he's drunk with the drugged wine, it's too late, and by the time he's sober, he's already reduced to the fish on the meat case, ready to be slaughtered, when Josh sees the old doctor, the butcher. When his identity showed up again, his reaction was quite normal: "Why did you do this?" Of course, no one sympathized with how he pretended to be innocent and pitiful at this time, and the ending was tragic. He was killed by the old doctor cutting his throat. , the body was sutured by the old doctor as an operation. Josh, it gives me the feeling that we ordinary people have our own dreams, are cautious but cowardly, a little panicked and overwhelmed when things happen. Facing the moment of his own death, he was completely panicked. Although there was a desire to survive, it was too late.
The third character, Ollie, feels a bit like the male protagonist, but he lacks more than a little bit more than the male protagonist. The most made one, and therefore the first to die. The method of death was very tragic. He was beheaded after being abused. Of course, there must be a few people who receive lunch in such a movie.
The fourth character, the old doctor, is a successful business man with a sanctimonious appearance on the surface, but he has the mentality of dreaming of becoming a surgeon. His identity is implied in the film, the tattoo logo of the club hound, and in the Eating high-end food on the train shows that he is very rich, and he is a very gentleman in conversation, and he also relieves Josh. Once he enters the murder factory, he will immediately show a hideous appearance and tear down the hypocrisy. The appearance of the demon, revealing the morbid psychology of the devil, and killed Josh with cruel methods without any mercy. For the old doctor, the lines in "V for Vendetta" can be fully reflected: the outward appearance is kind, but the devil's heart is hidden.
Other characters, the prostitutes and liars who seduce them, in their eyes, everything is a deal, and this deal is a deal in exchange for human life, the prostitute's words: "I can make a lot of money from you. Qian" and then laughed weirdly, this part really made people shudder, and then the male protagonist discovered that the police had already been bribed.
The butcher (fat-faced man), when the male protagonist fled into a changing room and met another butcher, he kept chatting with the male protagonist. He, when he asked, "How did you do it?" was quick and straightforward, or slowly tortured and enjoyed the process, and when he learned that the male protagonist said: "Quick fix", he threw the gun away, and then cursed at himself Be brave, I can see that the fat-faced man is very guilty and scared, but it seems that it is not the first time that he has murdered. When the male protagonist heard the screams of the girl, he saw the fat-faced man burning the girl with a flamethrower. The face, and half of the face has been burned off, and the eyeballs have been burned out (the part where the scissors cut off the eyeballs is bloody enough, and those who can withstand this bridge are masters).
The whole town seems to have been completely mastered by the killing factory. Here, there are no laws, no morality, only transactions, sex, and violence. There are only three identities of people here, buyers (butchers), sellers (killing factories, liars, prostitutes), victim. It can be said that this frontier town is a lawless town without laws, morals, and lawlessness. Of course, the luck of the male protagonist is indeed very good. He fought back at the limit. Although he broke 2 fingers, he not only escaped, but also killed the butcher who wanted to kill him, and saved the Japanese girl (or committed suicide). Lu On the way, he also killed the two prostitutes and liars who seduced them, and then killed the old doctor to avenge his friend, and then got on the train and left this place of right and wrong with a blank face. The second part must be dead. Your luck has come to an end. The big boss of the murder factory appears. If the male protagonist does not die, it will not reflect the strength of the murder factory and the forces behind it.
