Rotten Tomatoes 20, IMDb 6.8, but the one I cried the most this half year?

This film was recommended to me by a friend a long time ago, and I remember saying at the time: You will definitely like it. I was very free today, so I just clicked and watched when I was looking for a movie to watch.

The whole film has a gray and black tone, the disintegration of a happy family, and the story of the father's revenge. The logical development of the story also includes the father's anti-kill in the pain, which is very dramatic.

But really, this movie that basically I can guess the plot from beginning to end still makes me cry. From the opening video of a happy family, it gave me a sense that every member of this family is very important, and their care for each other is a little bit of precipitation and accumulation. Then there was an accident, the eldest son who was handsome and handsome was killed because of the so-called joining ceremony, and even the little murderer was thrown on the road... This kind of uncaring description of life makes me feel deeply sad. The precipitation of happiness makes a big enough contrast.

Therefore, the male protagonist's behavior in court can be said to be smooth, and the anger that cannot be eliminated by legitimate means is his own. It can be seen that the male protagonist at the beginning is a kind of naive and impulsive anger. He is not determined enough to directly take the knife and kill the little murderer from behind, just venting the same fight. In this part, the director and screenwriter's description of the ordinary person he started is really quite in place. From killing people by mistake, to being countered to seek revenge, and seeking revenge... Although it is very dramatic, the description of the emotional stage of the characters is very delicate.

But what makes me unable to cry out is not these, but a state of life in the whole film. Billy and the others declare their extraordinaryness by trampling on the lives of others, and they can arbitrarily judge the cheap lives of others. And never really realize that he is also so cheap, and a creature that can be ended with a knife and a bullet. Because of the death of his younger brother, Bufan, who he took for granted, began to collapse, and he couldn't help but get mad, or everyone would think that they started chasing and killing the male protagonist on the street. So logical. When God was pulled from the altar, how could he not fight back insanely and recklessly?

And when the male protagonist started to fight back and started to buy a gun to shave his head, my heart ached. He was an ordinary man. After his favorite son was killed, he impulsively found the murderer and didn't directly stab him to death. When he started to die, when he gave up everything, that scene was kind of cool, but it really made my heart ache.

When the male protagonist sat in line with Billy, that moment made me feel like Billy had grown up, albeit at a heavy price.

In the end, the male protagonist insisted on returning home and began to look back on his happy family. That's to say, I'm really sorry, but don't regret revenge. This film is really delicate, so delicate that I still cry silently when I write the film review. The details of human nature made me feel a little depressed, but not disgusting.

Nothing but life and death.
