Evil flower blooms

1. One of the masterpieces of the Coen Brothers. The quiet town covered in silver is full of hidden turbulence; in a seemingly perfect kidnapping case directed and performed by itself, several people in the game who have their own thoughts, have no deep crime skills, and do everything recklessly, so the story develops out of control. It's a predestined fate.

2. The style of this film is distinct, and the blood burst is unpredictable. The steady shots, perverted characters and complicated narrative are very "Cohen". The ending is particularly blunt, revealing that the evils of human nature are more daunting than winter.

3. This film is adapted from a real case, with flashy lines and black humor everywhere. In several places, it is a description of a man that has little to do with the main line of the story (such as the encounter between a policewoman and her first love), and it is saturated with fireworks.

4, 8 points, suddenly remembered "No Country for Old Men".
