Dating him in Bruges

When I first saw the poster for Killer No Holidays, I thought the movie was British humor, and even thought of Mr. Bean, and it was a comedy, just a black comedy. There's only one thing that attracted me to this movie: it's Colin Farrell, who, as the director says, has a natural bad sex and an incomplete sense of humor, which is what I like his reasons. The character of Ray seems to be tailor-made for him, and the words and deeds in it seem to be the behavior of the actor himself, which is really in harmony.



Throughout the film, the old medieval buildings are the most important scenes. I really liked the way they were sitting on a small boat at the beginning of the film, admiring the beautiful scenery of Bruges, a small town in a quiet corner of Belgium, you will be immersed in the tenderness of her warm yellow tones and forget about the film People who enjoy the scenery are not good people. In fact, Lei didn't like such a cultural landscape, and he preferred to be accompanied by beautiful wine and beauties. But he really could not have imagined that this small town would always guard his innocent soul in eternity. Perhaps because of the plot setting, the nights in Bruges in the film are often quiet and scary, far from the European towns that everyone yearns for. But at the same time, it also shows that the director has excellent skills in grasping and creating the atmosphere of the scene. In the final episode of the film, the characters chase after the stone streets of Bruges, lose the identity of the killer, put aside the guilt in their hearts, and return to the original starting point. When the bullet enters the chest, it may be the beginning of a new life, or in Bruges far away from the noisy and complicated city, there is no rejection or remorse.

    A far-fetched story of nothing. I wanted to learn "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" + "Two Smoking Guns", but I didn't understand it.

In Bruges quotes

  • Ken: And at the same time, at the same time as trying to lead a good life, I have to reconcile that with the fact that with the fact that, yes, I have killed people. Not many people. And most of them were not very nice people. Apart from one person.

    Ray: Who was that?

    Ken: This bloke Danny Aliband's brother. He was just trying to protect his brother. Like you or I would. He was just a lollipop man. But he came at me with a bottle. What are you gonna do? I shot him down.

    Ray: Hmm. In my book, though, someone comes at you with a bottle, I'm sorry, that is a deadly weapon, he's gotta take the consequences.

    Ken: I know that in my heart, but I also know he was trying to protect his brother, you know?

    Ray: I know, but a bottle, that can kill ya. That's a case of "It's you or him". If he'd come at you with his bare hands, that'd be different. That wouldn't have been fair.

    Ken: But technically, someone's bare hands, they can kill you too. They can be deadly weapons too. What if he knew Karate, say?

    Ray: You said he was a lollipop man.

    Ken: He WAS a lollipopman.

    Ray: What a lollipop man doing, knowing fucking Karate?

    Ken: I'm just saying...

    Ray: How old was he?

    Ken: About fifty.

    Ray: What's a fifty year old lollipop man doing, knowing fucking Karate? What was he, a Chinese lollipop man?

    Ken: Course not.

    Ray: Well then.

  • Ray: Where's my gun?

    Ken: I'm gonna die now, I think.
