Some things are meaningless when borrowed from others.

This is a revenge movie. The protagonist is a housewife. From the husband and wife to the shooting and killing, this contrast gives the audience a strong sense of pleasure. Of course, I say that this is a good movie and not just Point to this.

Mint is the ice cream flavor that the heroine daughter likes. When the little girl is shot, revenge is doomed. But in the middle, in the midst of anger to despair, the heart of the heroine, I think it is the theme of this film.

From the time the suspect’s lawyer came to the door, some problems on the social level were gradually exposed. When the judge finally pronounced the sentence, the suspect smiled triumphantly, and the heroine was sent to a mental hospital instead, everyone realized: Justice Without being extended, the evil still runs rampantly.

Someone must stand up! Have it? No.

When we return to the beginning of the film, on the way to revenge, the heroine suffers pain and bandages alone in the car after being injured. We can't help asking: Is it really only on our own?

The answer is clear. There is only one person on this road.

The only male protagonist, that is, the policeman, was a little bit human and gave people a little hope from the beginning, and finally proved that he was the inner ghost of the criminal gang in the police force. This kind of despair not only belongs to the heroine, but also makes the audience empathize with the system of this society: really, there is no one.

The murals in the slums are a more profound point. The female protagonist is using her own way to get justice, making the crime rate in the slums drop sharply. With her actions, she has won the hearts of the people and won the help of the poor. As viewers, although we know that it is wrong for the heroine to replace the rule of law with the death penalty in this way, we agree with it from the bottom of our hearts.

This kind of emotion is very simple and direct. What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong.

For this recognition, the film finally uses a large number of praises to the heroine on social media to prove it. It is equivalent to surpassing the rule of law to collectively affirm the heroine's revenge behavior.

This movie has a double tragic character. The first tragedy lies in what happened to the heroine, losing her beloved husband and daughter, and losing the courage to continue life. The only thing supporting the heroine is anger. This is something that every audience can feel; The second-tier tragedy lies in the ruthless exposure of reality. At this point, it seems to be for the audience to truly feel the kind of despair, like stepping on the faint light of human nature in the ashes, from personal corruption to the law. The system is used to the whole society's indifference to justice. It makes us realize that the tragedy of the first level is not accidental, but is inevitable after the long-term existence of the second level of tragedy.

Although the bad guys died in the end, the heroine survived. But looking at the hostess on the hospital bed, each of us knows that this is just a movie, this is only the performance of the actors, the reality is still the reality, it may be more ruthless, it may be more tragic, no change, no one will change, never There will be people like heroines, and angels with guns will never appear on the walls of slums.

What we can do is to watch the movie YY, and then continue to live like this after watching the movie, waiting for our own tragedy to come.

"You can't just hit people just because other people are bad. In that case, you will also become a bad person." Now, when I look back at the movie, at the beginning of the movie, in the parking lot, the female protagonist said to his daughter with great heart, is it right? Do you have another flavor?

Angels are just passing through the world, reality is the home of the devil, and hell is the main theme.
