2. Several important changes in the thoughts of the "killer" throughout the film. The "killer" played by Christopher Walken is an old man who is struggling to pay for what he did many years ago and trying hard to start a new life and spend his old age.
First, when the "killer" took the "target" out of the prison and brought it into his own home, the "killer" was just preparing to complete the work without much thought. A long shot in the film gave the "killer" a gun behind his back. Hand taking close-up. The reason why the killer did not perform the task immediately was largely related to the painting at home for his granddaughter.
Later, when the two old friends patronized the brothel, the motive of the "killer" began to turn to pity and sympathy for the "target" who was a former friend. In the brothel, the communication between the two and the old bustard showed the fear of the "killer", which mainly came from two aspects: the revisiting of the old place began to awaken the memory and emotion of the "killer" to the "target" many years ago; and the concern about his own safety. Scruples.
Later, the two old friends went to the pharmacy to steal because the "target" was not raised to the two who left the bar and returned to the car. The feelings of the "killer" began to transform into a sense of guilt and guilt towards the "target".
After the "killer" did not take advantage of the "target" to take a nap to perform work and put down the pistol, the emotional line between old friends began to really unfold.
3. The meaning of the characters played by Julianna Margulies. When "Target" was sent to the hospital, he said to the female doctor, "I'm going to die", and the female doctor answered "but not tonight". This has heralded the ending and the second half of the film has begun.
When the female doctor kissed the two old friends in front of his father's grave, the souls of the two were already redeemed. And this is the emotional clue that runs through the end.
4. Save a soul from the body in three hours. It took only three hours from the two old friends to pick up their former companions in the nursing home to the burial of their companions. This period includes reunion, adventure again, and mourning at the "funeral."
5. The significance of Vanessa Ferlito's participation in the bridge segment. The plot of the victimized girl helped by the three to punish the mob is actually a manifestation of the repentance and atonement of the past. Perhaps they had committed similar atrocities against other girls before, and the thugs they handcuffed were actually their own shadows.
Personal thoughts, friends are welcome to discuss, criticize, and correct.
