"5 Impression Fragments of In Bruges"

1-----------"In Bruges" despise Bruges's chirp,

Ray lamented that Bruges was the beginning of a "Shithole"... This despised attitude Ray continued from beginning to end. Even the curtain call came, Ray's last words: "I really, really hoped I wouldn't die." It also seemed to be complaining depressed, "I really really don't want to die here at Fucking Bruges Shithole" I just want him to grit Bruges sincerely. In addition, director and screenwriter Martin McDonagh also deliberately named the film "In Bruges". Many viewers felt that it was to express the religious atmosphere of Bruges in response to the main theme of redemption. But I just feel that such a name is Part of the reason is because of Ray's Shithole complex for Bruges...
(After watching the video, I personally feel that Bruges is really beautiful, maybe it's just because I grew up so I haven't seen it directly or indirectly a few times. The elegance and simplicity of the Gothic complex. As for Ray, as he explained, I have lived in Dublin, Ireland since I was a child, and I have not caught a cold at all.)
Why did the director end with Ray’s dying at the end that should have been meaningful? To tease Bruges as the ending??:
(Expressing regret to the little boy's mother...Ray continued:)
prison, death,it didn't matter-Because at least in prison and at least in death,you know,-I wouldn't be in fucking Bruges.-But then, like a flash,it came to me, and I realized ,-''Fuck, man, maybe that's what Hell is.''-''The entire rest of eternity spent in fucking Bruges!''-And I really, really hoped I wouldn't die.-I really, really hoped I wouldn't die.
"Go to jail, die, it's okay. Because even if you want to go to jail or even if you want to die, you know.. I don't want to choose this damn B's Bruges. But then, suddenly An intuition flashed through me, and I realized, "Fuck, this is probably the worst situation", "Sleep peacefully in this fucking Bruges"
I really really hope I don't die, I really I really hope I don’t die..."

I think this translation is appropriate (please forgive me for using "Fuck B's" in pursuit of the original taste). Other translations are common in that hell and a flash are interpreted as "Hell" and "a ray of light". And like a flash must mean "flash, pass". If it is "like a flash of light", it must be written like a flash of lighting. And maybe that's what Hell is basically has nothing to do with hell in the formal sense, and the same with who the hell are you?, just to show emotional attitude...

The ridicule of the curtain call, I can only attribute this to British black humor. God knows what British people Bruges has had. Of course, this kind of humor that only the British can smile at is 80%. Non-British people really should not live it. It's nonsense. Just ask for it.

2------------- "In Bruges"'s anti-American complex

"In Bruges" When I first came into contact, I was still habitually thinking that it was made in Hollywood, but look When I look at it, I don’t feel it. Because Ray, as the number one actor, is a complete anti-Americanist. He especially struggles with the United States. It can be expressed in: first, he despised the three McDonald’s elephants from the United States, and then he was in the restaurant. A man accused his girlfriend of smoking and a woman who brandished a deadly bottle at him. Ray jokingly called them "Yankee" (Yankee), but later discovered that they were actually Canadian Orz. The next feat It was the heroin's excitement that used a fake and serious karate to bring down an American dwarf who had a serious racist tendency. It should also be added that Ray was also victimized by the Americans and the British Beatles. The lead singer Lennon embraces the injustice.

3--------------Ray, Ken & Harry

Ray, whose role is the most funny and attractive in the film, has a melancholy and innocent look, negative and pessimistic, and is both cheap and cheap. The honest attitude is mixed with tragic hysteria, and the situation is deeply pitiful, with a bit of British humor.
Ken is a relatively normal temperament among the three. He likes to treat the younger generation as his younger brother. Take good care of your boss and treat your boss as respected as an elder. As for him solemnly repeating "I love u" twice to Harry in the bell tower under the stars, don't misunderstand it as an old man breaking your back. Other foreigners are concerned about love and family affection. , Friendship, brotherhood, sisterhood, etc. The general expression of feelings is "I love u~". A deep feeling for someone, expressed with "I love u", is pure and direct. (Of course. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to be too affectionate, otherwise you will really think that it is a broken back~)
Harry, we all know that he is not a villain, he is just a principle worship type killer who can accommodate pregnant women, and he is also a beloved model boss. Although he has a preference for using "Fucking" as an adjective, he has a bad temper. But he really doesn't What a villain. But out of a matter of principle, he pursued and killed the leading actor without hesitation, thus touching the rules of commercial films and being treated as a villain. When Harry's glorious drinking bomb apologized, he did not realize that all this was nothing more than It was a somewhat complicated misunderstanding. Poor Harry's glory index was greatly reduced at this time, and unfortunately he died at the end of the climax...


4-------------In theory, Ray finally Dead. In

theory, Ray died in the end, but we couldn’t prove it with our own eyes. Just like Ken, it’s a causal cycle. Ken once killed a good guy who waved a deadly bottle at him, and his person was to protect his brother. And sacrifice. Ken also sacrificed to protect the affectionate Ray. So Ray will inevitably encounter bullets through his chest, just as he treated the priest like this. It must die...
Of course, this is only theoretical. Things...


5-------------Give him four~

I like black humor, so I love "In Bruges". Black comedy is used to dark stories as the keynote. Create a kind of There is sad dark humor. But after all, no matter how good it is, it can't jump out of the barrier of commercial movies, so four stars are well deserved.
