Some people say that Mrs Cohen's movie is very similar to the previous TV series Olive Kitridge. But Olive is exposing everything in the world, seeing through the world, rationally and ruthlessly debunking the hypocrisy of the world, her life is flat, and she even has a loyal dog husband who loves her. The billboards are different. Husband is abusive and divorced, daughter is raped and murdered, and life is horrible. I don't have time to observe the world and understand the philosophy of life. I even lose my sense. about a shit. One is a cold Nordic-style film, and the other is a typical American social ethics film. Of course, there are similarities. The heroines are all cold and mean.
All spoilers below
Mildred's daughter was raped and killed, and no trace of the suspect was found for more than half a year. Of course Mildred was not reconciled. She thought it was definitely the police department's inaction, so she wanted to make big news. She rented three abandoned billboards that read, "Why hasn't Officer Willoughby caught the murderer who raped my daughter to death?" Black letters on a red background, especially hot eyes.
Officer Dixon is the little brother of Sheriff Willoughby. It's worth seeing this billboard, so he quickly called the Sheriff. When Willoughby heard this, he was shocked. What the hell is there such a thing? I have cancer and I have to take my dog with me. This will make me unable to guarantee the holiday. I really didn’t expect that I have worked so hard to serve the people for most of my life. No, I have to find the guy who rents billboards. The younger brother said that renting billboards should also follow the Basic Law. I didn't violate it. Besides, that old auntie gave her money. What can you police officers do? Dixon is in a hurry, why? Believe it or not I cut you? My brother said, why do I think your police officers only beat black people, and you want to beat me, a handsome blond guy? Willoughby pulled them away hastily.
Officer Willoughby went to Mildred again, sis, do your best, you see that I am a dying person, can't you give me a little face? Mildred immediately turned on the mean force mode: I already knew that you were going to die, so don't force me here while you still have a breath, and quickly file a case for me. Willoughby wanted to prick the old iron, worked hard for more than half a year, and returned to the pre-liberation overnight. I did my best in your case. No way, this place is not an imperial capital, and a broken town doesn't need a skyline, so there's no reason to forcibly demolish it. I can only work under the billboard with the case file and pretend to work hard. It's a pity that my friend Matthew is not around, I can't think of it, he solved the case properly.
On the other side, Mildred's life could not stop. But Mrs. Cohen is not easy to mess with, and keeps turning on the mean mode. She quoted the scriptures and used her tongue to fight the hypocritical priest. You still have to deal with me even if your child molestation problem has not been solved, and get out of here. She outwit the dentist and dared to attack me, and I would turn into a chainsaw killer in minutes and spray you with a salt soda. She bravely broke into the police station, and let it go to trouble me, and she also provokes my friend, so she doesn't make trouble with the old lady. His cute son is in a moody mood, playing oatmeal on your face to see if you still stink. Her son couldn't help scolding "you old bitch", she silently said "I'm not old", the implication is that I'm a bitch, do whatever you like. But Mildred was the only one who was defeated in front of her ex-husband. The ex-husband's girlfriend was an object of ridicule, but the ex-husband would mention their dead daughter. Mildred knew in her heart that her daughter's death had something to do with her, and this was a pain she didn't want to mention.
Willoughby, knowing that he had little time left, chose to shoot himself after a field battle with his wife. As Haruki Murakami said, death is not the opposite of life, but another extension of life. Willoughby wrote three letters, one heartfelt love letter to his wife and one to Mildred. And one for my fanboy Dixon. Willoughby wrote in a letter to Mildred that the old lady will accept you if she doesn't agree, and the billboard is such a good idea. Although my death has nothing to do with you, others may not let you go, ps: I will pay you the rent for the billboard next month. Is it surprising or unexpected? Mildred thinks this person is so naughty, and he will not let me go even if he is dead, but I really don't care what others do to me, anyway, thank you for helping me pay the rent when I am struggling.
Although the aunt still went her own way, the troubles that followed were beyond imagination. News of Willoughby's death spread throughout the streets. Dixon, a little fanboy, couldn't stand Willoughby's sudden death, and turned his hatred to his brother who rented advertisements. He beat his little brother well and threw it downstairs from the window. Dixon said that this movie will definitely win an award, not only for hitting black people, but also for a handsome blond guy like you. As a police officer, I have no racism at all. Who is that kind and righteous black man out there? Wouldn't it be the new sheriff? I was stunned and fired, and I still have an old mother to support in my family. It's a pity that this is not California. Dogs are not popular in small towns with strong folk customs. I can't steal dogs to make money. When Mildred took her son to school, a drink was thrown from her car. She got out of the car and fought back without saying a word. My mother is going to win the Oscar. Political correctness is of course indispensable. Dealing with the bear children is really neat and tidy, very heartwarming.
But after that, it wasn't so popular, and her billboard was burned. Mildred struggled to rescue but to no avail. She was so desperate in the fire that she made even more crazy actions. Your uncle dared to burn my billboard, and I blew up your game (in fact, it wasn't the police department). That night, I took a few homemade grenades and went to the advertising company opposite the police station. But on the same night, Dixon went to the police station to see Willoughby's suicide note, which he read while listening to classical music. As the saying goes, when a bird is about to die, its song is also mourning; when a person is about to die, its words are also good. Willoughby is right, as a policeman, there must be love in the world. Dixon suddenly felt that his life had been sublimated, his soul had been washed, and he didn't even notice that the fire was burning outside. When he finished reading the letter and found out how Nima got to the crematorium, he did not forget that Willoughby's trust had protected Mildred's daughter's case file and rushed out of the fire. It just so happened that the little devil went to the wrong studio. He wanted to see the naked dragon mother open, but didn't want to get out of a fireball, so he hurried over to help put out the fire on Dixon's body. Mildred's heart warmed when she saw the intact file, but I didn't expect you to have a little conscience. The police asked Mildred did you do it? The little devil guarded Mildred and said I was going on a date with her, just passing by. The little devil has a unique taste, likes this strange aunt, and wants to have a meal with the aunt. Auntie said that she only made an appointment for a meal, not a gun.
It is said that Dixon was sent to the hospital, and he was in the same ward as the brother of the advertising company who was beaten by him. The little brother poured him a glass of orange juice after learning that this man had beaten him half paralyzed. Dixon was so moved, why are you being so kind to me? You know that I am a deep cabinet. love you.
Another upright and kind-hearted black guy from the advertising agency came to Mildred's house in person to help her re-post the billboard. Does the billboard still have Officer Willoughby's name on it, he asked? Mildred is talking nonsense, who doesn't he write for his own money?
It looks like things are going in the right direction, and Dixon overheard someone bragging in a bar. Dixon couldn't help feeling a chill on his back. Isn't this the case of Mildred's daughter? Go out and smoke a cigarette and calm down. I'm not a policeman now, so I can't take out my notebook and say invite him into the bureau for a cup of tea. Quickly write down the license plate number first, and then find a way to get the DNA. Dixon ordered a beer and looked at him slyly. What did that person say you were looking at? Dixon said what did I look at you? That person said that he dared to look at Lao Tzu, was he looking for you? Dixon said, look at my nine yin and white bone claws! Then the two really got into a fight. When I got home, I quickly transferred the epithelial tissue in the nails to a test tube, DNA get!
That night, Mildred and the little devil went to a restaurant on a date, and by chance met his ex-husband and his girlfriend. The two were sarcastic again, a girlfriend who complained about your brainless, and a little dwarf who discriminated against you for dating. After talking with her ex-husband, Mildred apparently lost interest in dating and wanted to leave. The little devil has been defeated in love again. I am one person and more than ten thousand people. I have countless beautiful women and a smart head. It is easy to find friends, but true love is hard to find. Believe in love. "Lannisters always pay his debts", threw down the bills and walked away disappointed.
The next day, Dixon came to Mildred. Big sister, see what good things I brought you. This is the fresh and good DNA you have been waiting for for a long time. Let's avenge your daughter and complete Willoughby's Last Wish is only one step away! Sister, do you think I am 6 or not? But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The black sheriff of the police department said that the DNA does not match, and the person was not in the country when he committed the crime. Dixon's face was stunned, and my mother was beaten for nothing. The sheriff's implication is that this person has a military background. How can my black compatriots dare to touch these people, no matter how kind and just? Dixon thought whatever, anyway, I don't have a job, and my future is bleak. After listening to his words in the bar, I knew that this turtle is not a good thing. He did not kill or rape in the country, but he did it abroad. So he called the aunt, I have the address of this grandson, would you like to go on this crazy trip together? Mildred agreed without thinking.
On the way, Mildred confessed to Dixon that she blew up the police station. Dixon said that I already knew, who else but you? Mildred finally showed a long-lost smile. We are outlaws, a grasshopper on a rope, are you sure we want to kill him?
Mildred hesitated for a moment. Murder has a price. My mother is not afraid of squatting, but there are too many idiots in this world. If you lose freedom, there is no chance for these idiots.
And I have to get my money back for the seven-dollar little china rabbit in my shop.
The end
This movie has an open ending again, and who the murderer is will not tell you at the end. Let you turn your attention to Mildred, Dixon, Willoughby, and others, and tell us that this is not a simple detective film, this is an Olympic film that exposes human nature and shows social reality. Its greatest charm may lie in the unpredictability of human nature. Everyone has multiple faces. One second is an angel, the next second is a demon. This reminds me of the 2005 Oscar for Best Picture Crash. However, the crash is a relatively advanced ring structure. This film is a linear narrative, which tells the story very clearly and clearly. I'm optimistic about Mrs. Cohen, and I'll take a look at her Olive Kitteridge. To be honest, it's pretty cool to be a mean-spirited auntie who is cold, tough, and irritable.
