beginning of the film, a fuel tanker was robbed and the driver was injured and admitted to the hospital.
The male protagonist is in the oil business, including buying, transporting and selling. His wife is the daughter of a local gang boss. The injured driver was an old employee of the male protagonist.
This year is a crucial year for the male protagonist. He bet all his net worth to buy a piece of land. The location of the land is convenient for crude oil transportation, and several large oil storage tanks can help him hoard oil at low prices and obtain more oil. great benefit. After paying the deposit, he was required to pay the full amount of 1.5 million within 1 month.
This year was also a difficult year for him. The oil truck was hijacked, the family was stalking, the company was investigated by the court, and so on.
After appeasing old employees, he started preparing for the loan. The loan process went smoothly.
For the tanker hijacking, the fleet manager persuaded him to equip each driver with a gun. He thought it would only cause trouble for himself and refused. And he is also very angry about his wife's own gun.
It is impossible for people in this industry to be completely innocent. The police came to search his daughter's birthday party, and he and his wife hurriedly hid the unorganized accounts. Although these accounting wives later confirmed that there were no loopholes.
The driver returned to drive after his injury and was robbed again. This time he took out the gun he was carrying to fight back, but this act alerted the police and brought more trouble. The driver temporarily avoided police.
The outbreak of the incident caused the bank to reject his loan request. The deadline to buy land is getting shorter and shorter.
The male protagonist found the driver and handed it to the police, and the driver escaped again.
The male protagonist found his opponent to borrow 500,000 yuan, but he could only agree despite the harsh conditions attached.
The male protagonist finds his younger brother to mortgage the apartment they share. Get more than 200,000.
The male protagonist finally caught the man who robbed his oil tanker, and got to know one of the competitors who bought the stolen goods. He asked the opponent to pay more than 200,000 to pay for the oil he had stolen this year.
The male protagonist found the last business partner who could borrow money, but was opened up by the other lion.
This is his wife's passbook, and here is the money she has privately misappropriated from their business in recent years, which can solve this urgent need. Although very angry at his wife's previous behavior, he decided to use the money to complete the transaction after weighing the pros and cons.
Finally got the land he wanted, and because of his success, the district attorney went from being hostile to being willing to cooperate with him, and everything seemed to be happy.
The driver who escaped before came to the scene with a gun. The driver has always followed him as an example and wanted to be like the male protagonist. But now the male protagonist has everything he wants, while the driver has nothing and is in a lawsuit. The desperate driver chose to commit suicide, hoping that the male protagonist could take care of his family before his death.
The bullet passed through the driver's head, and at the same time leaked the oil tank, and the black oil slowly flowed out, accompanied by bright red blood. The male protagonist walked towards the driver and took out a handkerchief to block the hole in the oil tank.
Because the name of the movie is the Year of Violence, during the viewing process, I kept wondering if the male protagonist would break out next and solve the problem with violence. But the male protagonist did not use real violence in the whole article, and the most powerful one just beat the oil thief violently. Maybe what the film wants to express is not the kind of behavioral violence, but the psychologically cold violence. The goal is only success, only oil, and all other behaviors only serve this goal.
