The post-Vietnam War America seems to be chaotic. So as an introverted protagonist who likes to think and write and can't sleep, he gets more and more uncomfortable when he comes back from the battlefield. From trying to exercise like a colleague and turning a blind eye, to really unable to choose to come forward, but I really don't think he will Buying four guns in one go...
In fact, the devil and the hero are only in one thought, because the protagonist's field of vision is very narrow, because he is a born loner, so there are only two things he wants to do impulsively: pursue the heroine, Rescue the little prostitute. The former failed, so the first choice when the final choice broke out was to assassinate the heroine's boss of the presidential candidate; fortunately, this failed, so the second choice became a righteous Rush Gang, one person and four guns naively killed three. A villain successfully rescues the little prostitute. So in the two options of demon and hero, the protagonist actually only achieved the second option, which is just a way to vent the depression in his heart... It's a very ironic heroic journey... The
heroine is really beautiful, but also The kind that is wild and indifferent on the outside, so whether it is in the story or as an actor, it has the taste of a vase. Although the hero and heroine have similar personalities, it is a pity that they are not the same traveller after all. Because the male protagonist hates the darkness at the bottom of the society, he is actually infected, similar to that little prostitute being brainwashed by the boss, so the protagonist will naturally take the heroine to see pornographic movies...
Little prostitute Iris It turned out to be 14-year-old Jodie Foster, I didn't see it at all, it was really the eighteenth change of the women's college...

    He rarely talks, has no friends, doesn't know how to fall in love, relies on porn videos to get by, his parents contact him once a year, and he doesn't know how to spend the money he saves from work. He does not take drugs or whoring, and is as honest as a stone lion. Although he yearns for the climax of life every day, he mistaken the joke of fate as a rare love in the world. Even though the taxi driver who has no sense of existence in this metropolis has experienced gun battles, killed people, and was even portrayed by the media as a hero who saves a girl who has lost his footing, when the passion subsides, life is still like a wheel passing by, crushing it day after day. Overwhelming all joy, the eyes are filled with nothing but despair. Even if he met the lover he dreamed of, there was only happy sadness and a sentence "So long". If the heart is not at this moment, no matter how deep the gaze is, it will be empty.

    A / Characters are not only free viewpoints in the environment, but also embedded in the center of the environment. In the former, the characters rise quietly to form a perspective or bird's-eye view that breaks through the flesh, while in the latter, the environment becomes a scene that contaminates the eyes of the characters. This unique viewing structure makes it impossible for the audience to stay in a solidified position. They must constantly adjust the distance between their thinking and the characters, so that the characters can maintain a vivid state of continuous reconstruction. The strategy of subverting the traditional Hollywood narrative is not in irony or role reversal, but in allowing it to continue with the dense reality and keep it open.
