The story takes place in a remote town in the United States. The economic crisis has made him even more depressed. The
owner of a dry cleaning shop hired two gangsters to rob an underground bank. I thought it would be easy to put the blame on others. As a
result, the big guy behind the scenes invited a professional killer to clean up the whole group of people.
There is no bloody plot, the plot of the film is direct, and the relationship between the characters is very simple,
but the colors, settings, pictures, costumes, Modeling, music, every element deeply attracts me.
The dim green in the laundry owner's office, the iron box inside, the messy waste paper, the rotten leather chair
The abandoned barbed wire on the street of the small town, the dirty street, parked in Dilapidated old cars on both sides,
such as viaducts visible on the edge of all cities
, a little fluorescent green in the parking lot, a depressing sense of space,
and all the old-fashioned tavern bars, yellow lights, the taste of people in the industrial age is amazing When nostalgia is
not an option but a passivity in reality, reality appears more rundown
. McCain's rhetoric about adjusting economic policy, which can be heard from time to time, is echoed by the paleness of these characters. After the
characters
were discovered, they said The two robbers are kids, (if I remember correctly)
, but they are not young at all, but because they have always lived on the fringes of society, people at
the top of the food chain call them children.
Taking drugs, stealing dogs and selling them for a living, maybe it's easier to get along with dogs.
The other one said that he was afraid of being alone, but he was naive but cowardly.
Before he was killed, he believed that the killer who came to kill him would let him go and take him to kill another partner.
To be precise, they're not even children, they're more like a lump of mud being trampled under their feet,
not even qualified to stick a wall,
so they're stupid enough to wear dishwashing gloves, poor quality stockings, and explosives. Go robbery with a gun, be
stupid enough to blow yourself up when burning a car, and
then finally be stupid enough to tell the boss's friend about it,
but the most ironic thing is that such a person succeeded in the robbery first, and it was thanks to the broadcast of the underground bank. McCain's speeches, and their stupidity also added to the excitement and humor of the scene.
Then there was Uncle Pete's killer, professional, efficient, thoughtful,
with back-combed hair looking lean, well-equipped, and requiring different weapons,
Moreover, the murder has never been more than one shot, very calm and cruel.
No wonder the gangster is in front of him, scared like a child, and
it is easy for Uncle Pete to complete the task, there is no suspense.
However, at certain moments, he is also petty, just like him He doesn't kill people he knows, because the feeling is too subtle
. He is like any elite person. He has his own temper and preferences, not a simple tool.
In the end, Obama was elected, and Pete met his client for coffee. His election speech was playing in the hall.
After Pete took the money, the client pushed aside Pete's tobacco and alcohol contemptuously.
In his world, Pete was no different from the punks. Pete turned
back and said the money was wrong, the client I wanted to get out of the way, but after Pete was really good, I watched TV and said we would in a community? We are all a people?
Amercia is never a country, is a business.
Anyway, the anti-political and anti-mainstream Peter brother.
Finally, let's talk about what I don't like,
What was the intention of Micky who came from New York? It took up so long, the dialogue
, and the process of killing the bullet from the gun was a bit violent, but it seems a bit contrived today.
After reading the comments, it seems that many people don't like it I like this film.
Anyway, I only write about my own feelings. The seats in the La Bastille cinema are very narrow,
but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all during the two hours of the whole film
. Watching this director's films,
I don't know much about him. If there is a movie theater to re-show his films in the future, I will not miss it.
