The movie has an open ending. The last two paranoiacs turn their anger into justice. A mother who lost her daughter and an angry mother + a policeman who lost her job and was burned by fire = a combination of embarking on a new journey in pursuit of justice.
The mother played by Frances McDormand is so cool, she fights against the world by herself, but behind her angry struggle, there is also self-blame and guilt, because of the final skirmish with her daughter, which leads to abusive words... If she hadn't been harsh at that time For her, the result may be different.
In the opening scene of Frances biting her finger while driving, the tangled and angry emotions overflowed all at once. With this kind of mood, she made three billboards, and it was these three billboards that provoked the dramatic conflict.
The police chief, played by Woody Harrelson, runs the story like an invisible thread. His death was also a turning point in the story, provoking the tyranny of the violent policeman played by Sam Rockwell and shaking Frances' strong heart. But several of his letters filled the hearts of several people he cared about with positive energy.
Only hatred in our hearts will blind our eyes. When we are in a hurry, we will more or less do things that hurt others or ourselves. Movies such as "Wild Stories" and "Apocalypse" also use their dark humor to Showing anger makes people do crazy things. As for people, they are in a state of "self" when they do a lot of things, and they look at problems from their own perspective. What if they stand on the other side's point of view, or from another commanding heights? The source of conflict is sometimes too much "self". Self-deception and self-righteousness are actually all because I want to get rid of myself and don't feel that there is something wrong with myself. When anything happens, most people look for the cause in other people, ignoring whether there is something wrong with them.
And while this movie lets angry people "revenge" the world in their own way, it also tells us that a little more kindness in the world can make up for the lack of love. Always firmly believe that human nature is good, because people who are strong and resolute on the outside are often the softest in their hearts. They wrap this softness with hardness and are not harmed.
The rhythm of the movie is really good. After each conflict, it affects the direction of the story, and the performance of the heroine Frances can be described as a textbook-level display, scolding everyone, those hypocritical people in the town, and even those who are kind to her, She is also angry at others, but she is such a strong woman, a mother who loves her children deeply, and a woman with a sense of social responsibility and justice. Under the billboard, when she saw the deer, a rare maternal kindness appeared on her face. This little creature soothed her inner pain.
The darkness and evil of human nature are because there is no light and warmth to shine on them. If everyone in this world has a little bit of kindness to give back and give, wouldn't there be a lot less human tragedy? Although it is about anger and revenge, this movie is always kind and warm, and I am willing to believe that the good in people's hearts prevail over evil.
