Alternative Dark Horse - 2013/Out of the Furnace/Out of the Furnace

It is said that it is different, because the first half of the plot is really slow, and the overall lack of commercial elements, it is difficult to get the public's appreciation; but just watching the cast is enough to brighten the eyes of many people. Call it a dark horse, because some people can be deeply moved by the desolate life of the declining industrial town, the trauma of the veterans, and the depiction of the feelings between people. Let's take a look at my brief version of the plot first: the
protagonist is a second-generation steel factory worker, and his father died of cancer due to exhaustion. Even so, his son can only rely on this job. What's more unfortunate is that the original sweet life was completely changed by being imprisoned for a drunk driving accident. His girlfriend cheated on him and found a police chief who has a stable job, and he has never visited or escorted out of prison! (Fortunately, he went to his father's funeral, not to the point of perversion.) Reality is reality, the protagonist said that she is a smart woman, which is both praise and irony! Can you blame women? They are socially disadvantaged groups, and our protagonists do not hate any of them because of this, but go back to their old jobs. . . But it's such a humble job, and because a country's cheap steel will be shut down (great irony),
my younger brother was drafted into the army many years ago, but because of the stop-loss policy, he had to go to Iraq for 4 years, and has been devastated by brutal wars (I believe historical No matter how holy the war, there must be many cruel aspects). Finally, after being discharged from the army, he could not adapt to the society. He couldn't find a suitable job and was hit with a black fist. Just when he was about to wash his hands and find a normal job, a tragedy happened. . .
Can you just count on the official? Please, reality is not an ideal TV series! As the saying goes, the moment of truth is the most reliable and most motivational. The old uncle, who has been in the past for years, also brought a gun and went into battle. The protagonist has changed from the role of not even killing deer to killing the boss. The long sigh after revenge can be described as full of emotion!
Will our protagonist be imprisoned for the second half of his life because of this? The scene where he is shown as the boss at the end is a little comfort to everyone. . . In addition, Casey Affleck, who is a supporting actor in the film, is really a highlight. Although his brother Ben Affleck has a strong aura, he feels that his younger brother's expressions and emotional scenes are more delicate and varied.
