The movie "Angel of Death" is adapted from a real criminal in the history of Argentina. A neutral and beautiful boy with an angel's face is a vicious criminal who has committed countless crimes, and his motives seem to be out of no trace of nature. can be found. The filming is actually pretty good. The characters are interesting and not bound by the world. It seems that everything is done out of pure desire, or curiosity, or freedom, or love. A murderer, but with a strong romantic atmosphere, it's easy to say, because this is a child who doesn't care about money and other people's opinions. But until I saw the end, I didn't feel the prominence of the characters in terms of human nature. In a real case, people may really think that there is no trace of the teenager's motives, but even if the director really intends to create such a character, he should do some foreshadowing before the story line to tell the audience that this teenager was born different. Contrast that with another recent crime flick, The Old Man and the Gun. On the issue of pursuing freedom, "The Old Man and the Gun" chose to make the protagonist fall in love with others, and for this reason once gave up crime, and could not get happiness from a peaceful life before starting to commit crime again. The teenagers in "Angel of Death" do not have such a human side. Similarly, the old man in "The Old Man and the Gun" is a gentleman, wise and lonely, while the young man in "Angel of Death" lacks some foundation because the director did not give a motive for the crime. So excluding the sense of form of the so-called juvenile delinquency, the inside of this movie is actually quite empty.
