Only at the end can we get the truth

There are many bars on the street, and the big boss randomly chooses different bars every day, and hides the "package" under the absolute safety of the place. All you need to do is send away the dirtiest money and wait for the next package.

At the beginning of the film, the characters are introduced narratively, portraying the image of Bob (played by Tom Hardy) as a good old man. Not only will he invite everyone to drink in memory of a deceased close friend, but he also undertakes to pay for the old woman on his own. In the church, I prayed for God’s blessing; on the cold road, I encountered the puppy in the trash can; after careful consideration, I decided to become the owner of the puppy. The church, dogs, and various behaviors show Bob's kindness.

The whole film feels more or less depressing to me, whether it’s the soundtrack or the choice of scenes. Although I can’t figure out the idea at the beginning, as the story unfolds, everything is actually an arrangement, dialogue and behavior are all In order to pave the way, everything is meaningful. Therefore, in the process of watching a movie, we must seriously think about the relationship between the characters and the narrative clues, and deal with the details in the dialogue between the characters, so that we can truly understand the connotation of the film.

On the whole, there may be most of the time spent serving the final ending. We think carefully, and when we see the end, we will be surprised at the meticulous arrangement of the entire film structure and the delicate depiction of the characters. If you like Teacher Tang, then this movie can be said to be a completely personal show.

    It's really a waste of a movie if you don't understand the dialogue, hey.

The Drop quotes

  • Fitz: I don't understand a fucking word you're saying. It's like you're speaking Brazilian.

    Cousin Marv: It's not fucking Brazilian. Brazilians speak Portuguese.

    Bob: [narrating] There are places in my neighborhood no one ever thinks about. You see them every day and every day you forget about them. These are the places where all the things happen that people are *not* allowed to see. You see, in Brooklyn, money changes hands all night long. It's just not the kind you can deposit in a bank. All that money needs to end up somewhere. They call it a drop bar. A bar the bosses choose randomly each night to be the safe for an entire city. You never know up front when *your* bar becomes the drop bar. You just take all the city's dirtiest money and bag men come and go from all over town and nobody ever sees it coming. Nobody ever sees it going. And then they could tell you to be the drop bar next week. Or maybe even next year.

    Bob: The point is, you never know. In the meantime, me, I just tend bar. And wait.
