it's up to you! (Various foreshadowing analysis, strong spoilers and cautious entry)

First of all, I want to complain. Just after watching it from the cinema, Zongju deleted at least two paragraphs. I am very unhappy. I took a rough look at other film reviews, and found that there were no similarities, which made me very depressed. So I wanted to write a film review to see if there were any fans who watched movies intently like me. Most people thought it was a male ② who accidentally found his father’s gun. I think it’s too simple, and it doesn’t match the sophisticated design of other places. When the movie saw the man ② found the gun, I told my dad, "I also put such an important material evidence in a place where I can touch it easily, and asked the man ② to take the things on the shelf. It’s a big bug. ." friends! ! ! Is the man really so stupid? Or did the director omit something for the sake of the plot? friends! ! ! None of these! ! ! The man ① deliberately let the man ② discover the physical evidence (that is, father’s gun). I would like to say one more thing here, I am a girl, and this is the first time I can’t help writing a film review, but I always feel that my male thinking is quite rampant, and I didn’t patronize the male protagonist’s sexy muscles and Hu. Scum (but really sexy). Well, start the formal analysis. Do you remember that when the two of them teamed up to kill the drug-addicted "scum savior", the villain talked to the man and said, "You found an outsider, and that outsider is still the son of an old man in a wheelchair. He knows Who killed his father?” (I can't remember the details, the main content is like this) In fact, at that time, the man already knew that he would face him sooner or later the day he discovered the truth. In fact, here has already laid a shallow foreshadowing for the ending. Then when the film was about to end, two people who had succeeded in revenge were sitting in the car, and the man asked the man what to do in the future. The male ① said "change your name, change your surname, change a place, and change your profession." The male ② said "Am I still with you?" The point is, the male one said "It's up to you. (This is actually caused by You decide)" Pay attention! ! ! ! ! This is for male ② to choose by himself, A is to live a good life with male ①. B is to avenge the father and kill the male ①. As a tough guy who has experienced many battles, he actually knew he would one day face the moment he discovered the truth, but how should he face it? If you tell him directly, there are only two results. A, the man ② wants to avenge his father and kill the man ①, so the two people scrambled into a ball... B, the male ② understands the male ①, so the two people are good friends for a lifetime. If it is A, he already owes something to the old man in the wheelchair, let alone killing his only son. If it is B, the male ① cannot determine whether the male ② pretends to be peaceful, and is always ready to assassinate himself. If the man does not really forgive the man, and understands the whole thing, it is no use. (Actually, the male ① already knows the impulsive character of the male ②, you should also know it very well if you watch the movie seriously... The male ② is young and full of revenge, he will only choose A) What he did to the male ② Everything is to repay the guilt of the old man in the wheelchair. (The male ② also said "you own me. You owe me" when he was apprentice.) So he decided to give the male ② a chance to grow up and let him choose by himself to see if he is mature. I don’t want to go into details about how professional men are in killing, and movies have always shown this. But it's useless to just marvel at it, so you need to analyze it carefully. He is proficient in various methods of death and knows various drug reactions. Male ① also understands human psychology very well. When the man threatened the girl’s father to tell him where the boss was, he knew that if the girl didn’t bleed, the father wouldn’t say it, so he prepared that piece of meat... When the man ① had his final revenge, he pretended to make a call upstairs from the BOSS, and he knew that after the BOSS hung up, he would panic and heavy bodyguards and immediately leave the building. Well, these two points are enough to show that men's psychology is also very good. He knows that the man is still young and vigorous and likes to cross the world. This was reflected in the killing of that homosexual. Obviously, the medicine can be solved cleanly. Obviously, the man ① told "Never get in that gay car!!!" But the man ② has a rebellious mentality, wants to cross the thunder pool, loves adventures, loves to prove himself, and proves himself. If you don't listen to the old man, you can do great things yourself. (He died at this point, eh, it would be nice if he was a little mature) The man ① knows this, he also especially told the second man not to drive that classic car, especially the player, "You touch this Can't touch either". This provokes the rebellious heart of the man again. The man knows that if he has the opportunity to kill himself, he will definitely treat the player and the classic car as his own child's spoils. So he gave the man a choice, he deliberately calmly let the man "accidentally" find his father's gun. If he was poisoned, he would die himself. It was his immaturity and lack of trust in men that killed him. Well, the above is the foreshadowing I found roughly (I won’t say the letter on the classic car, everyone can see this). Considering the above details a little bit, the most powerful thing in the whole film is not all kinds of killing tactics, all kinds of gun battles, all kinds of special effects. It's the feeling that the male ① is stubborn against the male ②, this kind of unspeakable tough guy. It's getting late, I just wrote a little bit. The first time I wrote a film review, I didn't write well. If there is any wrong analysis, please feel free to correct me. If you have a stronger argument, please let me know. thanks for reading- -

The Mechanic quotes

  • [first lines]

    Arthur Bishop: What I do requires a certain mindset. I do assignments; designated targets. Some jobs need to look like accidents. Others must cast suspicion on someone else. A select few need to send a clear message. Pulling a trigger is easy. The best jobs are the ones nobody even knows you were there.

  • Harry McKenna: You're a goddamn machine. You see things. You view people differently than I do, differently than anybody does. But you have a problem, Arthur. You need companionship.

    Arthur Bishop: I have you Harry.

    Harry McKenna: Oh, then you're in deeper shit than I thought.
