'Locke': How much anger can be used to calm down

British slugger Tom Hardy didn't show off his muscles this time for a "Warrior" duel. Just as a construction worker, I sat in the car aggrieved, got off the night shift as usual every day, and would be home in an hour to watch the game with my two sons. The result was a series of phone calls. First, an unattractive older female colleague who had a one-night stand gave birth to an urgent need for help. She immediately called her home and told her that she could not go home. At the same time, she had to solve the company's engineering project. Then she was fired by the company and her wife asked for a divorce. He got the wrong cement model and couldn't drive out to ask for reinforcements. At the stall where he was almost nervous, Hardy had to patiently listen to his son's remarks about his feelings just after watching the game.

Is it the inheritance of family blood, or the unlucky fate of life. Hardy cursed the dead dad in the back seat after imagining it, adjusted his mind and took a deep breath, everything will be fine, and the sun will be new tomorrow. Then continue to answer one damn phone call after another, and calm down and control the steering wheel to avoid a car crash.

This film, which was completed in only 5 days, is still a small confinement film, although the car in the film has been rushing on the highway. It is not as dangerous as "Sniper Phone Booth", not as thrilling as "1408", and closer to the down-to-earth "Buried Alive". The shooting scene of the whole film is only focused on the driver's seat, accompanied by lights passing outside the car, the shadow of the car galloping by, and the siren that I think of from time to time. One bridge after another, one road after another. Most of the episodes are constantly answering and making phone calls. The voices of other characters come from the phone, various emotional collisions, the pleading of female colleagues, the anger of wife, the incomprehension of drunk colleagues, the ignorance of children , all gathered together in minutes to hit Hardy. Although each blow is not as fierce and painful as boxing, it still sees blood everywhere in the flesh. The audience is equivalent to the passengers in the co-pilot's seat. They can't help anything. They can only follow Hardy's painful expressions and mixed emotions one after another.

"Ask you how much sorrow can you have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward." Hardy may have never heard this famous sentence of Queen Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but his worries at this moment have definitely been fully expressed. Divorce and resignation happened at about the same time. Originally, there was a warm little home in front of me, but it disappeared in an instant. It is also necessary to use great control and willpower to reconcile all sides and prevent things from getting worse, which is not much easier than not letting yourself down in a bloody arena.

Wasn't it just because of an unintentional cheating? As for getting such a big punishment? I don't like her, and I don't love her, just because I drank a little bit of confused wine that time, which resulted in a tragedy in my life. It doesn't matter, brother is an invincible master of psychology. If you think your life is tragic enough, take a look at Hardy's and see how strong a man's mental capacity is. The last cry of the baby finally made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, fuck it! Son, dad is here.

Locke quotes

  • Ivan Locke: You make one mistake, Donal, one little fucking mistake, and the whole world comes crashing down around you.

  • Ivan Locke: Do it for the piece of sky we are stealing with our building. You do it for the air that will be displaced, and most of all, you do it for the fucking concrete. Because it is delicate as blood.
