Why does the hero want revenge?

At the beginning of the game, the friend of the male protagonist said when describing the male protagonist in the bar: "He is very dark. It doesn't mean that he has dark skin, but that he seems to be living in the dark. Don't think that he can know his truth by stepping toward the light. Appearance, the light seems to dim with him", so I portrayed a gentleman in my heart, depressed, with sadness in his eyes, and I should miss my dead girlfriend deeply. As a result, the male protagonist playing the guitar turned out to be a fierce man. There is no doubt that he is handsome, but I can’t see a trace of sadness in the male protagonist’s eyes, nor can I see his feelings for his dead girlfriend, only an inexplicable desire for revenge. Play. Although a very attractive conflict was established at the beginning, the whole development of the conflict turned out to be that the male protagonist met a beautiful woman again, and the two had a small spark of love, which was called when the two could not compete with the big organization. The same tall, mighty and handsome guitarist friend helped, but the guitarist friend was killed and didn’t rescue him. Instead, he picked up a kid who also didn’t know whether it was alive or dead and went to the rescue. Sigh, your hero put your loyalty on the guitar. Is it in the box? In the latter part of the film, the male protagonist discovers that his enemy is his brother. After a few words of greeting, he wants to kill his girlfriend and the male protagonist shoots his brother and kills his brother. Good fellow, no wonder this movie is also called "Heroes". Do not shed tears.

Regardless of the plot, many people say that this movie is classic. It must be the character's acting skills and violent aesthetics. The expressions of everyone in the movie are very interesting, especially those in the opening bar. From uninteresting to mocking to asking questions, they are both exaggerated and interesting and intriguing. I choose not to comment on the aesthetics of violence. You are beautiful, but I refuse to understand it.

In short, after watching the movie, I feel that the male lead is so handsome, cool, and manly, but I didn't see where his hatred came from.

Desperado quotes

  • Carolina: What about calling you friends?

    El Mariachi: Campa... Quino... They would destroy the city...

  • Bucho: [talking to his henchmen] It's one thing if you can't find someone running around the city hiding any place he chooses. I can understand that. What I can't understand is how you let him get away when you knew where he was! Now you drive around town. You see someone you don't know, you shoot them. How hard is that, huh?

    [takes gun from Right Arm]

    Bucho: Look over there.

    [the henchmen look in different directions, unsure of where "over there" is]

    Bucho: I don't know him. Never seen him before.

    [the henchmen part, revealing Shrug]

    Bucho: Look, he has a gun!

    Shrug: [looks down at the gun tucked into his belt in dismay]

    Bucho: Must be him!

    Shrug: Hey...

    Bucho: [shoots Shrug, then returns the gun to Right Arm] Now, how hard is that? It's that easy.
