Life happens

Play "Hello" from "Ace Bodyguard" on a loop and soak up the nostalgic atmosphere.

However, the picture of the movie is bloody red at the moment, and the encounter between killer Kincaid and his wife is in a bar. Sonia was molested by a few alcoholics, and Kincaid watched for a while, trying to rescue her. An unexpected thing happened. Sonia, who was enchanting and beautiful, actually made a big fight with her fists and feet, and she taught the drunkards and perverts a lesson without fear. Against the backdrop of romantic music and fights, Kincaid and his wife meet and fall in love.

This is the rhythm of the whole movie. Obviously just after a fierce and breathless chase, a series of funny accidents suddenly happened; I was shocked by the fierce fights, explosions, and gun battles, and suddenly the plot reversed and the protagonist lost face; Indulged in the romance of the hero's courage to confess, the heroine interrupted bluntly and returned to the embarrassing reality. The rhythm changes like electronic music, a bit peculiar, but not abrupt.

The male protagonist, Bruce, is a person who is prudent and predicts everything. When he encounters the person entrusted to protect - his long-time enemy - the killer Kincaid, all preparations and order are disrupted. Fighting and bickering all the way, the interaction between the two, in addition to bringing bursts of laughter to the audience, there are more and more three-dimensional characters. Bruce is obviously a man with high IQ and low EQ. He is extremely conscientious and skilled in his work, but he treats his lover in a daze. It seems that he needs to use data analysis to organize and express his feelings. As a high-ranking killer, Kincaid is notorious for killing people without blinking an eye, but he has a tragic childhood when his father was shot by a villain, which made him decide to raise the butcher's knife.

About good and evil. There is no absolute good or evil in the world. Bruce once despised what Kincaid had done, and asked him if he didn't feel guilty for those dead souls? Kinkade didn't answer directly, only recalled the scene in his childhood when he witnessed the murder of his biological father (at that time he only told Bruce that he was the godfather), and then talked about the protection list that Bruce had forged a grudge against himself - Japanese arms dealer Kurosawa —Kincaid shot the killer. As Kinkade said, Bruce tried his best to protect so many people who did evil. Compared to Kinkade who murdered, did he become a helper?


About destiny. There is no absolute absolute in the world. As a professional 3A-level bodyguard, Bruce will conduct a detailed investigation before each protection work, and the protection center will do his best and pay attention to every detail. This habit has also carried over into his life, so he attributed his work mistakes to over-trusting his girlfriend and made mistakes in preparation. Of course, as Kincaid said, how could Bruce anticipate every possibility, calculate every mechanism, and make every preparation, whether it is to protect people or to have complete control over his own life?

Perhaps it is precisely because of Kincaid's profound understanding of the randomness and possibility of life that he can live out a sense of transparency.

Favorite episodes of him and his wife. Encountering and falling in love is full of contrasting beauty, as if stripped of the mundane turmoil of fighting and killing and hugging; And he had to put a pot of tulips in front of Big Ben regardless of his life, and let people see the other side of his reckless actions. He must be meticulous in love and perseverance when dealing with cherished people.


There are bound to be many black swans in life. That's why even Confucian sages who don't believe in gods still fear the mandate of heaven. If everything is expected, it is boring. Maybe in the end, we all have to admit that once life goes by, nobody gets out alive.

But if you have a choice, practice rashly and seriously, live like Kincaid's magical laughter, lightly and every accident in life Just say, hello.
