The people we want to be but are afraid to be

Finally, the male protagonist becomes the person we want to be but are afraid to be. If there is not a moment in your life experience that you want to destroy the world, it can only be said that you have not met the little beast in your heart. Violence is an unavoidable sin of human nature. And the release of this feeling undoubtedly has a refreshing climax. It's just that this kind of unrestrained freedom is really good for the entire human community? Therefore, we have derived a sense of morality, designed the legal system, and created religion. This is the process of human development and exploration for thousands of years. Your freedom must be subject to your own moral constraints, social legal constraints, and religious spiritual constraints. Talk about a few scenes of religious metaphors I saw in the film: If we say that all people are created by God, does that mean there must be a purpose for human beings? There is a scene in the film where the male protagonist follows his father to sell vacuum cleaners. The male protagonist is now looking around the room to prepare for future burglaries. At this time, he saw an old man with a broken leg sitting in the garden, with a sheep standing beside him. The old man smiled and nodded to the male protagonist who was leaning against the glass and looked at him. It was like a miracle. In the second act, when the male protagonist and Ramon committed the crime together for the first time, he asked Ramon if there was a dog in the other party's house. Ramon was stunned when asked. Saying there is a dog, I can kick its ass, but the protagonist says, you don't understand that a dog can sometimes change your life. Is this understandable as a metaphor for the sheepdog in the Bible to drive the lost lamb back to the sheepfold? And Ramon's attitude towards the dog shows that he is already bent on evil, so the shepherd dog has no binding force on him. Those stereotypes that secular doctrines tell us is that good people are bright eyes and honest faces, and bad people are big men with unfortunate childhoods. The movie constantly refreshes your three views through the innocent face of the male protagonist and the bloody deeds committed. He confuses men and women, reverses black and white, and even drives you in the opposite direction of sexual orientation.

    After watching it, I realized that it was adapted from a real event. The prototype character of the protagonist, Carlos Eduardo Robledo Puch, born in 1952, known as "Angel of Death" and "Black Angel", is an Argentine serial killer. He was sentenced to life in prison under Argentina's highest criminal law. He was convicted of 11 murders, 1 attempted murder, 17 robbery, 1 rape, 1 attempted rape, 1 sexual abuse, 2 kidnapping and 2 theft. He killed his victims in various ways, such as stabbing, shooting, strangling, rocking and slitting their throats. He has been serving time in prison since 1973. He was only 20 years old when he started serving his sentence, so he is also currently the longest serving person in Argentina's history. The film is so artistic, it doesn't feel like a crime movie at all, and it doesn't dissect a boy's heart. Robbery and murder and arson were as simple as making sandwiches in his mind, and he seemed to be enjoying the freedom that life brought him.

    3.5 After the loss of the revolution in the 1960s, he returned to the military dictatorship of Argentina, and soon will usher in the return of Veron. In a disordered, high-pressure, and oppressive society, the shadow of war is far from disappearing. The background of the times in the film Although it was a little bit of water, we saw the luxurious and empty villas, the disappearing wealthy class, the poor people, their faces were full of unrequited expressions, the crimes of angels had no reason, and there was no trace of humanity at all. , maybe as repeatedly emphasized in the film "my name stands for freedom", the history of German descendants and contemporary Argentina can be vaguely seen, the anti-human anti-society of crime itself has been added a layer of chic and beautiful, and many details are like crimes. According to psychological analysis, many serial killers have their own set of theories, but angels do not. He is simple, firm, and smart, but he always suppresses himself. Is he a monster of the times or a born devil? It's a pity that more horrific dirty times await this country
