Six Bullets in The Once Quiet Man

"The first bullet is for the office clown, the second is for the most friendly lady, the third is for 'The Stupid Bird enters the forest early', the fourth is for the flatterer, the fifth is for the ungrateful villain, and finally, But not the least important, the sixth...sixth...everything," Bob McConnell muttered to himself as he loaded his bullets.

There should be few but very common people in this category. They are taciturn, introverted, timid, cowardly, not social, seem to have no hobbies, and have nothing to talk about with others. They do their own thing honestly, and have their own persistence in their hearts. If someone It's not bad to take the initiative to get close to him or ask him for help, maybe he is bullied and oppressed by some people... This kind of person is called "silence bomb", he may appear in your life, he will leave one day You probably don't even notice and soon forget, unless you're the one who fired the bomb. How come? As mentioned earlier, they have their own perseverance in their hearts, and if you touch that perseverance too much, the dissatisfaction and negative feelings aroused by long-term silence are all released. Bob is this type of person. He checks data in the small square in the office every day, eats alone at noon, likes to do small crafts at home, talks to his own goldfish, and always thinks about one day if he doesn't do it, he will shoot and kill those people. Bastards then kill themselves. But its script was robbed, another colleague in a similar situation broke out, and as a result, Bob, who shot and killed the killer in order to protect his crush Vanessa, became an overnight hero. Everyone began to pay attention to him and value him to please him. Everything starts to look good: being promoted to the top, driving a limousine, beautiful women throwing their arms around him, colleagues asking him to hang out, Vanessa being paralyzed by injuries and relying on him...... Bob has changed too, Cheerful, in love, articulate, happy.

But is happiness really that simple? What did Bob think when he finally got back to his original form and stood there with a gun? The country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change. It's hard to change who you are in your bones. It's not that he was timid and cowardly before, so he wouldn't have courage no matter what, but the factor that made him temporarily courageous was too fragile. It is like a person who is introverted and cowardly and has no friends. Suddenly someone takes the initiative to get close to him and make friends with him. Perhaps under the influence of this person, he will begin to contact the outside world and start to enjoy interacting with people, but unless he opens his arms spontaneously, it will take a while. Time, his inner unease still surfaced, he can't stand that person has other friends, can't stand other people just accepting him because of that person, can't stand other people's invitation to that person...it will be unbalanced, uneasy , will be angry, quarrel, and break up. He remained alone. In the end, Bob's unease and fear are still there, because this hero is a blind cat and a dead mouse, because these wishes are brought about by heroic actions, because this love is obtained because of Vanessa's paralyzed dependence The...too fragile. more fragile than the heart.

Some people say that this ending is intriguing. Maybe those were all Bob's dreams, and when he woke up he stood where he was and wanted to do it again and again; maybe it happened and he ended up going back and doing what he wanted to do again; maybe he killed Those bastards; maybe he just killed himself..." You may have to ask, why did I do this, but what choice did you give me?... As long as one is alone, taking some time, and really seeing me, can Help me find my way out." All thoughts and thoughts were hidden in my mind. If you don't tell us, we'll never know. We snub you, bully you, ignore you just because you didn't say anything and we didn't ask anything. "At some point, the sick and weak sheep needed to be sacrificed to save the whole flock."

"He seemed like a nice guy." "He was a quiet man." This story reminded me of an episode of Friends Better than meeting someone who was neglected, extremely depressed, and contemplating suicide. And Brendan Fraser's movie about the bet between gods and demons. "Want to do something to get your attention."

I don't really like this ending, and I can't think of a better ending, but I think there should be a better ending.

    A classic portrayal of "Looser". False and real, true and false, it seems like a comedy, but it is actually a tragedy. We may not be as extreme as the protagonist, but how many modern people do not have that kind of depression in the office?

    What disturbs a pure society? Those who can't control their own souls, stepping on the weak and bullying "spirit", play the game of seeing the wind~~~
