"Cold Blood Pursuit" is a new film by Uncle Liam Neeson this year. The director is a Norwegian. This film was remade by him, and the remake is his own previous film. Well, this is already a bit of dark humor in itself: how much the director loves this story, it's not enough to do the Norwegian version once, and the American version again...
Influenced by the uncle's "Rescue" series, I thought it was another action movie, but after watching a third of it, I realized that it was wrong. This is clearly a black comedy. There are too many laughs in the whole film.
Let's briefly introduce the plot: Uncle is a snow plow driver in the northern ice and snow town (the name of the town seems to be fictitious, with puns), a son is a luggage porter at the airport near the town, a wife is virtuous and Shuliang, uncle I have a simple and honest face. The film also won the town's annual citizen award at the beginning. I can't see the possibility of any excitement... The turn of the eye, the uncle's son was suddenly killed by a local drug dealer, and the rhythm of the whole film instantly fell into Sometimes I feel funny, but I always feel that I should not laugh in the ups and downs.
Simply put, this is the story of an uncle lynching and murdering to avenge his son. However, no matter how many people he kills, his son and wife will never come back, and the peaceful and warm family he once had can never be reproduced again... This is the core of such a hard and sad story, and it turned out to be a serious and funny look. It's hard to put into words.
Moreover, I originally thought that Uncle would contribute various fighting scenes, but the director was very kind and skipped all the key bloody scenes... The most powerful scene of Uncle was just carrying a wire corpse bag and throwing it under the ice waterfall. That slightly staggering back was more comical than terrifying, especially when it was thrown three times in a row.
The film is full of satirical and metaphorical details, so I won't spoil the spoilers one by one. Those who are interested should watch it for themselves. In short, I have never seen a film where so many people died and everyone died. It's inexplicably funny. Every time a person dies, there are subtitles that seriously introduce the person's religious beliefs (pictures), name and nickname, so after the last scene of the gang fight, there are full screen subtitles (too many dead), the effect is very impressive snort.
Uncle Liam didn't even introduce his origins in this film. Why is the uncle of the snow plow driver so lethal? There is no background explanation at all (only his wife mentioned "hunting"), but, from the details of the uncle's father and brother who were once under the control of drug dealers, it should be inferred that the uncle should also be a trainer, and obviously, the uncle is right Law is not of interest at all.
Could it be that the uncle was a deep mountain hunter in a land outside the law?
The son was wronged and died, the only thing the uncle intends to do is to kill all the enemies who killed his son by himself (the younger brother found a so-called professional killer and the result proved that no one is as reliable as the uncle himself), what police, what Justice, whatever exposes the truth, go to one side, the uncle kills people, that's a neat and unambiguous one.
Is it true that in the face of real pain, any rational system seems very absurd, and only "an eye for an eye" is the real justice in this world?
In fact, there is no abacus in the matter of revenge, and some are just the steel scale in the heart of the Avengers.
What kind of revenge is enough? Look at the power of the Avengers.
Rabbits can never take revenge on wild wolves, they can only become Buddhists... The legal system only exists in a civilized society that does not allow revenge but only allows calculation, when any kind of pain can be beaten with abacus beads to measure the number, revenge There is no more, there is only a transaction: that is, how much compensation can I get for my pain?
Don't want any compensation, just want to repay the pain in full or even double, this is called revenge.
The problem is that if you want others to suffer, you have to be strong enough yourself. Moreover, revenge has a congenital defect, that is, the pain that the Avengers have suffered cannot be eliminated at all. No matter how thorough the revenge is, no matter how miserable the opponent is, it cannot change the fact that the Avengers have suffered heavy losses... Thinking of this , The Avenger's bone-piercing and incurable grief is as dark as night.
Who wants to be an Avenger if given a choice?
From the beginning to the end of this film, I have never seen the uncle cry, but when the son died and the uncle did not know that he had an enemy, the scene where he was about to commit suicide by swallowing a gun has completely portrayed the deep pain of the uncle. how is it? The uncle finally drove the snow plow down the mountain. Did he plan to abscond, or did he plan to turn himself in?
The film doesn't tell the ending of the uncle, and the murmur between the policeman and the dying drug lord at the end should imply that the policeman is also the subordinate of the drug lord? So the law is really a joke here. If possible, I hope that it is better for the uncle to escape. Maybe it is a good choice to hide in the Indian reservation. Although the pain cannot be eliminated, after such a venting of revenge, it is estimated that the uncle should You can get a little peace, the rabbit's Buddhist system is full of helplessness, but the wolf's Buddhist system will have a little more peace of mind... In short, there is nothing wrong with the Buddhist system, as long as you want to continue to live.
Finally, give the uncle a compliment. After kidnapping the little boy, the scene of reading the snowplow instruction book as a bedtime story is too cute. The image of the uncle, even if he is a kidnapper, will make people feel full of security... Well, I despise it. Take a look at my own hopeless appearance association mentality.
