Thoughts on Destiny and Human Nature in "The Diehard"

This is the first time I write a film review, and I just feel it.

This film needs to sink in and enjoy it slowly. You will find that it is like a glass of red wine. After all the hardships, the aftertaste will be endless until it flows down the throat, which makes people applaud.

First of all, we can follow the development of the movie from Jacky's point of view and follow the development of the story. The messy narrative of the movie is not lost in the middle of a deep movie,

1: childhood, jacky had a tragic childhood, due to the brutality of bruno, jacky can only rely on hormone drugs to stimulate his own man's instinct, and Because of his uncle's cowardice, Bruno was allowed to go unpunished, and his childhood friend diederrik's shouts when running made the police indifferent. As for why Bruno was punished, there is no way to investigate, perhaps because it was artificial or natural, the film does not go into details, and the

childhood story is partly explained. The origin of jacky's character (violence, loneliness, inferiority, lack of identity), the account of physical disability, and the appearance of other clues make a foreshadowing,

2: The murder case of hormone investigators, the division described at the beginning of the film It is the whole story that starts with the main case. The whole case can be divided into the following parts: jacky needs hormones to make his animals strong-the hormone investigator is murdered by richter's gang-the police find diederrik as an informant and ask him to explain Clue-The repairman accused richter of being Jacky's subordinate because of Jacky's violent beating on him-The police started to suspect Jacky-Because of factors such as "coincidence"-Jacky was beaten to death in the elevator,

this story line It can also be regarded as another aspect of Jacky's tragic fate, which is wrongful death, but the origin of these coincidences is related to Jacky's childhood story, causality, or in another way, the arrangement of fate,

3: Love: Jacky can be said to have fallen in love with a woman, Lucia Lucia, who caused him a tragedy from beginning to end. She was violently maimed by Bruno in her childhood because she looked at Lucia, and was finally arrested and died because she looked at Lucia.

The heroine doesn't have many scenes. It starts and ends. It can be seen that the director doesn't want us to think that this is a love drama or a love tragedy. She just made the beginning and ending of a destiny. work, but the beginning and end are closely related to the theme of this film, that is, the beginning and end of fate are both portrayed by tragedy,

4: Destiny: as the theme of this film, it covers all the above clues Inside, Connected: Childhood likes the younger sister of a violent teenager - Mutilated by bruno, leaving deep physical and mental trauma - Violent beating of mechanic - Framed by mechanic - Going to see lucia's arrest - Death by elevator

This topic Throughout the whole film, I don't know if you still remember the opening line:

Sometimes things happen in life that turn everybody silent
So silent that nobody dares to talk about it anymore
To no one, not even themselves
Not in their own head, not aloud , not a fucking word

because everythings has been lingering. There deep in those fields ,year after year

But out of blue it is all back ,just like that ,from oneday to another

It may be ever so long ago ,there is always someone who digs it up again Whatever

you do ,and whatever you think ,one thing you can be sure of: you are always
fucked
, no one wants to talk
about it anymore, don't want to talk about it to anyone, not even to themselves,
hidden in their minds, silent, not a word

in his mind, not a thought, not a sound, not even a fucking word None of them,

but everything is unforgettable, they are buried deep in the ground year after year

, and when an accident occurs, they are awakened, and it

may drag on for a long time day after day, but always

No matter what you do, no matter what you think, but one thing is for sure, you are always the one who gets fucked, and if


you see that most moviegoers now have a general idea, this opening statement is also It's not that hard to understand, on the contrary, the opening remarks now open like a beacon to guide us to the theme




. There is a character who has to say: diederrik, he runs from the beginning of the film to the end, from the beginning of the story to the end of the story. He is involved in all of them, but I just want to talk about two of his scenes. As for what he owes to jacky, I will not say more about the reasons for the story.

The first scene: in childhood, uncle jacky's cowardice led to nothing. People testify for jacky only diederrik runs in the back of the police car and shouts in defense of jacky

The second shot: At the end of the shooting part of jacky's arrest, diederrik was waiting outside for jacky to come out of lucia's room but saw the police rush in, and then I was surprised that he even dashed in and went to the top floor (lucia The room is on the top floor), after hearing jacky's arrest outside the door, he started to go downstairs and waited downstairs to see if he had a chance to rescue jacky, when he heard the gunshot, he turned and left

. Completed, I helped twice, but failed twice, and


now I can summarize it. The story uses Jacky's tragic life to guide the struggle against fate, unwillingness, and questioning, as well as exploring the pain after losing part of humanity. Destiny and human nature make moviegoers think



foreign words: The first time I wrote a movie review, I started writing at 2:10, and now I have an hour and forty minutes to complete it, which is almost the same as the length of the movie. In fact, I feel that thinking is The main point is not to just watch the past and it's over. This is the charm of the movie.
