father of gun
Maybe the male protagonist's appearance attracted me. Unlike the protagonists who are winners in life, he looks a little thin and has a very ordinary hairstyle.
It can be seen from the previous dv video that the male protagonist has a very happy family life, his wife is gentle and beautiful, and his son is also lively and lovely. The video is a little longer and records the growth of the child from childhood to adulthood. The family is happy and enviable. This is a common way of expression in movies. The more joyful it is in front of it, the more tragic it ends at the end, hey. The eldest son was originally on the path of becoming a winner in life. He was gifted in sports and was a star hockey player in the school. He had not yet fully developed and already had the prototype of a male god. Unexpectedly, the plot took a sharp turn - the
father drove his son to go home, passed by a suburban gas station to refuel, the son went to a convenience store to drink cold drinks, and happened to encounter a gang member's initiation ceremony:
joining the organization requires random killings. The gun exploded, but it wasn't the rookie of the gang who killed it himself. The poor eldest son became a dead soul under the knife under the instigation of the gang members.
At this point, according to the usual rhythm, report the case and hand it over to the police, imprison him for decades and let him slowly repent inside, and all his party members will be imprisoned. The family experienced a few months of grief. A quiet life began again.
However, I didn't expect the lawyer to come to the conclusion that the maximum sentence is 2-3 years, because of insufficient evidence (and I won't complain about the legal process in the United States here). The
father was stunned at the time, "My son is because of this bullshit. After the initiation ceremony, she died, and then she can get away with impunity for a few years at most.” What’s even more ridiculous is that in order to achieve this result, you have to take an oath by yourself, go through a series of complicated procedures and listen like a fool Lawyer's fiddling.
My father quit at that time, and willfully insisted on his principles in court. "The lights were too dim to see the murderer's face clearly." This was his silent protest against the law's incompetence. The murderer was released in court without following the set of rhetoric prepared by the lawyer before. He was not guilty
. Wanting to solve all this in my own way, I drove and followed to determine the rookie's foothold.
When he came to the basement tool room, his father frantically rummaged through the toolbox, hammer, wrench, and long knife flashed in turn. He chose a dagger and quietly put it in his pocket. At this time, the younger son came, and he clearly felt the anger of his father's pressure. The wife also came over to inquire about the result of the trial. The male protagonist was obviously impatient and hurriedly said that he was going back to the company to deal with the matter. Of course, there are some loopholes in the plot setting here. The wife should feel that her husband is emotionally unstable, but she still let him go, and why did she rummage through the toolbox before going to the company? Does the company have to go back to repair the leaking water pipe?
The hesitation before the murder,
I thought, this is the best part of the whole movie. It is the emotional changes of the male protagonist at different stages, which are real and delicate. When an ordinary middle-aged man encounters such a tragic experience, his anger, disappointment, fear and helplessness are all empathetic. The film is mostly shot from a second-person perspective, although it is not as strong as the first-person sense of substitution. But in the process of faintly releasing this emotion, it seemed forbearance and profound.
Although he brought a dagger, he was not ready to kill. Pacing back and forth outside the door, the highly educated man clearly knew that if he took this step, he might be a road of no return, but what could he do? Would his son just die like this? After thinking about this, the male protagonist still walked in. He didn't make a sneak attack, and waited for the rookie to turn around, and then looked at each other. He didn't take out the dagger, until the other party's words angered him, and the two sides scuffled together. During the melee, the male protagonist stabbed the rookie with a falling dagger and accidentally cut himself.
What I want to say is that this feeling is really hopeless and aggrieved. The perpetrators have nothing to fear, and the good ordinary people have nothing to rely on. At this time, fairness and justice have been trampled under the feet of the perpetrators and vomited. After a mouthful of phlegm, the bullshit police can't play any role at all except to take notes.
After killing the rookie and returning home, the male protagonist is still physically and mentally exhausted. The mixed emotions in his heart have already made him unbearable, the sorrow of losing his son, the helplessness of revenge, the fear of revenge, the anxiety of being in prison, the male protagonist can no longer resist, hugging and crying in the bath, his wife came to comfort him, Holding his wife like a child who can't find his way.
Gangster death threats
The male protagonist encountered death threats from gangsters, and when he asked the police for help, the black female police officer's answer had already heralded the coming of tragedy "Who asked you to do things, now you are in trouble and think of us, why didn't you do as we said? , why don't you choose to swallow it up, a 2-3 year sentence is enough, we have things to do with so many things, and then "let's see if we can survive tonight", this is what the female police officer said at the end In a word. Although it is a translation, the word "boil" shows us the powerlessness of the police.
The result, of course, was madness and revenge. All three of the male protagonist's family fell under the gun, including the two patrolmen on a police car outside the door. The male protagonist survived by chance, his son became a vegetable, and his wife was forever.
At the back end of the desperate revenge
film, the male protagonist kicked off his hair, revealing a long scar left by the fight, looking fierce and capable. The scenes of shaving his head and practicing guns alternated repeatedly. At this moment, he was completely black, and he wanted to send those who ruined his family to hell. At the end is a bloody and violent vendetta scene. There is no delicate design to defeat each other, but the frontal hard bar. After killing everyone, the male protagonist returned home with bruises all over his body. He was dying. The TV was showing a warm scene of a family gathering. The children made faces, and the wife was still so dignified and beautiful. The man sitting on the sofa The Lord is going to heaven to join them.
In fact, there are many details in the film. The younger son has a grudge because he sees his parents being too sad: he has never been noticed, and his parents only see his brother, "I'm the one who should die." A silent attack on the violent crime that has ruined a family: the rookie on the show is the younger brother of the mob boss and their dad is a gun dealer, so imagine the end of the family. And the resulting violence has left another family in danger. The male protagonist kills them with a gun bought from their father, and the violence is hidden in every frame of the film. Violence against violence will eventually lead to destruction, which may be the point the director wants to make clear. But why violence occurs, and how do we ordinary people behave when they encounter violence? The film does not give a clear answer. The director gave us space to think, so that we can have an epiphany after watching this story.
