the purest evil

When Jamie Bell's magnetic voice said in the movie, Dear Wendy, thought it was another romantic love memory. However, with the almost documentary filming technique in the film and the depressing sunshine unique to winter in the play, I gradually felt flustered and uneasy, and then I suddenly realized that this is not a pure and romantic love film.
Several people in the film (forgot their names) are relying on guns to maintain their dignity, and it is very effective, in which everyone finds their true self. And set up the Sex Pistols group, in an unknown abandoned mine, they are crazy about guns or self. Perhaps to prove that they are no longer content to see the light of day, and are trying to start acting in the name of morality. But it was this action that ultimately led to the annihilation of the entire army. Perhaps because of the indelible greed in human nature, always wanting more. From the beginning to find the true self, and later to the so-called proof of the power of the group. The worst is not to have nothing, but to gain something, but fail to satisfy the deepest desire in the heart.
The group members in the film are all individual individuals, ignoring a series of realistic problems such as their families and identities. They help each other, that is, with the members, but also with the pistols unique to each of them. The pistol becomes their most loyal friend, they trust each other, and Wendy is the pistol of the hero Jamie Bell. This inability to communicate between people has been shown in many films. In this film, the pistol has become an indispensable and important role. Unlike the naked violence in "City of God", in this film, although the protagonists are all individuals with pistols, they are all so-called pacifists, that is, pistols are not for them to conquer others Tools, but friends, through the pistol, they find the dignity and self they deserve, and life becomes different. Although they took a road against society and lost their lives due to misunderstandings, but from the last scene where they fell one by one, the audience saw not the pleasure of punishing the wicked, but the pleasure of punishing the wicked. It is a hatred of the normal social order. Among them, good and evil are inseparable, and it can be said that they are the purest good. For the police, like most films, set it up as a representation of cunning and conspiracy. The truest dispositions are always not tolerated by this society, and death is their only path.
The film downplays death. Even the deaths of several protagonists are just one or two shots. As the black people said at the end: "I don't play anymore" For them, it is not so much a battle of life and death, but a way to realize self-worth. It is possible to live an overly mediocre life, but once the most primitive nature of human nature is stimulated, it is difficult to accept it. As Black said to Jamie Bell: 'You're too soft for Wendy'

Dear Wendy quotes

  • [Huey has just shot Marshall Walker in the head]

    Huey: Officer d-d-down, I'm afraid!

  • Dick Dandelion: The Regulations are, that the most important thing for a Dandy is never to show off his partner, whatever the provocation. We carry them as moral supports. And that's the most important thing. They may be carried, but never brandished. That would be the worst thing of all.

    [contiunes as voice-over narrative]

    Dick Dandelion: Not one of us were in doubt about the most important thing of all. The reason why our partners could only be fired in the darkness of the old mine and could never be exposed to full light and thereby be woken up. Because once awoken nothing could stop them from following their true nature and killing. And it was so forbidden to say that word, that we called it "loving" instead. And "loving" could never ever happen because that would be the end of it all.
