A good movie usually has a good story and a better movie, and it will quietly put the characters in the front of the story. In the end, you care about the fate of the characters, far more than the resolution of the events and the deep resonance with the characters. , is the real node where the story enters the heart of the audience.

Those three billboards are actually Mildred's tombstones in memory of her daughter Angela. Seeing those three billboards on the way home every day is as happy as seeing her own daughter, although it all stems from a powerless anger, but sad It was Angela who wouldn't come back to life anyway.

Ultimately, Dixon surrenders his badge, and he and Mildred, two ordinary citizens, embark on a journey of possible revenge for nothing more than a possible other rape suspect. This is still a transfer of anger, anger that has not been resolved by love. Maybe there is still salvation in this world, but we have not yet embarked on the journey.
