Such an image of a killer should be very "cool". What I always regret is not killing people myself, but the way of killing people is very bad. This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for people who are used to watching killer movies, and I look forward to him strongly. Looking at the future performance with such expectations, you will feel very disappointed, and maybe you will also use wine to drown your sorrows because of your miscalculation.
Ben kingsly has a very serious killer face, and the bald head shape and the cold eyes really fit the image of a killer, but it turns out that he is an ordinary alcoholic, but there is a disproportionate one. Killer work. The two identities of drunkard and killer light are superimposed here, which gives a feeling of mismatch. Frank finally angered his uncle, Roman, the boss of Polish gangsters, because he fell asleep while drinking and slept on an assassination mission. , because alcoholic killers are worthless to Roman. For Frank, who never leaves his hand, participating in quitting drinking is undoubtedly a joke, but his uncle can't refute it when he speaks, and thus "The Adventures of the Fool Killer" began.
The low-budget opening sets the tone for the entire film, so you're unlikely to see the hail of bullets and bloodshed in other killer films, replaced by the uncommon silent warmth and lighthearted humor.
First, let’s take a look at Frank’s work before and after. In the past, he was a killer who killed without blinking. It was cold to the point of freezing. His job was to kill. To be exact, it should be a perfect murder. , his job is a corpse beautician, serving corpses. Although his work is sometimes perfunctory, such as applying lipstick to an old man's corpse, it is the opposite of his original job after all.
Secondly, let’s look at the rebirth of the killer from love. Frank didn’t really mean to quit drinking at all, but when he arrived at the quitting meeting, he was surprised and wrote “How can there be such a place, how can there be people who want to quit drinking”, etc. All kinds of puzzles. It was the first time I sat at an alcohol conference before leaving in a hurry. Unexpectedly, returning to a place full of dead bodies brought him a new life, which was unexpected, especially for a sober who brought alcohol on his first day at work. He met the girl he liked, laurel. Laurel is the kind of girl who is very straightforward. She will tell others on the day her stepfather died that she is very happy that her stepfather is dead, and she is very humorous. I want to get back the shoes my stepfather wore when he died." Surprising and embarrassing words. It may be this outspoken and humorous personality that attracted frank, he began to accept the fact that he was an alcoholic, and changed for the laural. The days began to be sunny, and the two of them began to get used to the days of each other.
The saying that there is no smooth path in the world is the truth. There are always variables in life. For example, frank used to be a cold-blooded animal who made a living by killing people. He would babble in toll booths about his friends ranting about his previous killer career, and he didn't care who the listeners were. It's not that he was already scared out of his body, he will tell you when he wakes up in the morning how much he regrets that assassination was not perfect. Can't stop, stabbed the knife in her eye, and didn't care that you were so surprised that you couldn't close your mouth.
But now, he has started to stop drinking, began to fall in love seriously, and began to reveal his sincerity to his friends. He is no longer a cold-blooded animal. He will take every corpse seriously and try to be as perfect as possible. The story of an alcoholic becomes a lyrical lyric with no booze at all. The more we repeatedly emphasize Frank's killer identity, the more we can feel the warmth of this film.
Killing is just something he has to do. He wants to make a living. Drinking is his true hobby and only hobby. In this way, since love can make a killer quit his only hobby, then love can make anyone quit. Get rid of any bad habits.
Frank became a good man and did the corpse beautification work seriously and won many friends for himself. At night, when a leader suggested to toast the deceased, Frank felt very kind, unable to control himself, and became addicted to alcohol. I missed the originally agreed dinner with laurel, and as a result, laurel almost broke up with him because of this. If I had to drink this time, then the next drinking is believed to be the last drink in the alcoholic killer's life. This alcoholism stemmed from Laurel's confirmation of Frank's identity as a killer. No matter how Frank said he was a killer, what method he used, and how many people he killed were all things that happened in the past, and it didn't happen in front of him, Laurel could still accept it. Until Frank succeeded in threatening the local government head at the request of his LA gangster contact, it was this incident that made Laurel shake his identity as a killer lover, an unexpected thing, Or things that only appear in romance novels just got her into it, and she started to think about living with the killer. Her first decision was to choose to leave, calm down, when she thought that the only possibility for the two of them to be together was to pull Frank out of the killer identity, but it was the moment when Frank had to choose the killer identity, because, Poland The dispute over the interests of the Gang and the Irish Gang in Buffalo has grown to an unmanageable level. The Irish Gang killed the Polish Gang. As a family killer, Frank cannot ignore it. His choice is to leave his beloved. , to destroy his thoughts of a better life and become an avenger. He resolutely refused Laurel's retention, returned to Buffalo, and started his own revenge journey with his cousin Dave. He has transformed from a lover to a killer. He blamed himself for the destruction of the Polish gang. If he did not get drunk that night and killed the boss of the Irish gang neatly, Leary, there would be no such thing as today. The entire Polish gang was wiped out.
But it can be seen that Frank has changed from a cold-blooded animal to a saint because of love. He understands family and love, and understands that life should be for the one he loves. He is addicted again, but this time It's a love addiction, of course such a love-filled movie should have a happy ending, so I'm not sure, laurel went all the way to buffalo to find frank is laurel's meaning or director john dahl's Meaning, I hope from the bottom of my heart that laurel realizes that to love someone you have to accept everything about him and not just what the director meant. In this way, this killer film still ends with revenge, and the people are kind-hearted, which is also the ending we hope for.
Written here, after the fall, if the Polish gang was not destroyed by the Irish gang, would Frank abandon his family and live with Laurel? Will laurel live with a man named frank who always wears the cloak of a family killer? Is there such a happy ending? Can love alone change everything and make people give up everything? I sincerely hope that the answers to the above questions are all in the affirmative.
