Joe: A good man who has broken the law, is sad, has no children, no wife, and has a bad temper! In fact, this is also the last sentence of the film, through a dialogue between another forest contractor and the boy! Joe’s encounters and life encounters are presented in the context of the plight of American villagers. No matter how simple the village is, people are always living for life, and there will be good people and bad people. Good people became victims in this context. In the end, Joe was the victim, but his sacrifice was very great. His sacrifice made two children. A boy will not embark on the road of killing and revenge because of oppression and helplessness. A girl will no longer Being treated inhumanly, one day the boy became another even worse Joe, one day the girl finally spoke again! ---This is the most direct beauty brought by Joe's sacrifice!
Gary: A big boy who grew up under the endless pressure of an alcoholic father, a rogue father, and a shameless couple! In order to save his mother and sister, he resisted his father, and even pulled his father to work to find the material foundation of life. Joe's appearance allowed him to finally find his direction in life. He began to work hard and earn hard. Money constantly allows mothers and sisters to get more food and clothes, but the endless oppression of father, and finally the shameless act of father cooperating with shameless people, he can no longer bear it, breaking through the last trace of respect for father and mother before. To defend his father, he was ready to embark on the road of killing, but he better accomplished this "revenge". With the help of Joe's sacrifice, in fact, the role of Gary in the movie is the most extreme show of Joe's kindness. On the one hand, let Joe complete the final mission!
Drunkard father, land ruffian... These are all representatives of social crime. Needless to say, any of their actions and incidents are constrained by the main line of the movie. With these foreshadowing and promotion, they will Make Joe more valuable!
Qiao’s lovers: Qiao has no wife and no children, because his temper is because of his unromantic, and his ultimate lovers also leave him. This is the helplessness and reality of society, but their departure is only temporary. Furious, did not make Joe decadent and give up life.
Old police friends and fellow workers: They are all blacks. In fact, there is a point in this. I think there is a political intention in the movie. They are all friends of Joe. They help Joe and Joe help them. They help each other and benefit each other. Presenting the harmony between whites and blacks is also a support for Joe's life!
Heroism: I recently watched 2 movies, one is LUCY, the other is JOE, two completely different types of movies, but there are 2 surprisingly consistent points, one is: the names of the movies are the names of the protagonists, and the other is: They are all manifestations of heroism; this is also a traditional American ideology that is often reflected in American movies: heroism! Especially these two movies with characters named as movie titles are even more obvious, but after comparing myself, I still prefer the feelings and insights given by Joe who is realistic!
