Like listening to a heavy metal record

The cliché and boring story, the director didn't want to tell it well, but threw his energy into the stylization of the sound effects of the movie.
There are indeed many wonderful things, such as the angle baby interspersed in the manic and violent mix, which fills the heart with unparalleled tenderness. For example, after the male protagonist shot the killer, he fed him a painkiller, both lay on the ground and sang along with the vinyl, and finally clenched his hands before the killer died. ~(At this time, I heard the light laughter of the rotten girls in the theater [covers face])
Of course, there is also the male protagonist, one of my favorite actors, although this film has become fat and bear, but my mind is always still in the movie. The ferocious-faced Phoenix in "Forever" flashed, with the most gloomy, stubborn and vulnerable eyes.
In general, after watching the film, it is like listening to a heavy metal record. It is simple and crude, and I am deeply impressed by the one or two tender tunes in it. As for the lyrics, it is not so important~

    1. A very ordinary story, but the director "tells" it so vividly and gripping; 2. Memories and reality are intertwined, and the male protagonist shouts "I'm weak" angrily because he finally exposes himself to the scars of the past; 3. Young age Teenage tears and violence help him get back to life.

    It's better than "good times" but it's limited. This play is hypocritical and fragmented, but at least the "taxi driver" is mixed with "Killer Leon". Although the director is so hypocritical, but fortunately the style is outstanding, and many of the designs are quite interesting, which is also pleasing to the eye. . The audiovisual style is very strong. Very optimistic about the future development.
