Dirty is revealed in the absurd, and helplessness is highlighted under the entanglement

Compared with the non-technical translation name of "Child Abuse Suspect", the name "Killer No Vacation" obviously sums up the central point of the film very well.

Some people say that the biggest charm of this film is that it can make people "laugh out loud one second, and cry sadly in the next", I added one more, "It will be tangled for another second, and then It was a scream of horror that followed", but the feeling of the film is by no means messy, but it gives people a special sense of tranquility. Most of this quiet atmosphere depends on the excellent acoustic music. in extra points.

Bruges under the director's camera is quiet and distant. Although there are self-righteous conductors, obese tourists who can't listen to persuasion, and sexy and beautiful drug dealers, her partner is a man who was blinded with empty bullets but only complains The sissy, the white midget hates the black midget, and he hired a prostitute from Amsterdam, who said it was easy to make money in Bruges, so you see how dirty Bruges is in private, it seems like a historic city , No wonder the killer played by Colin Farrell kept complaining when he first arrived in Bruges, until he refused to die in Bruges in the end, but the proprietress of the hotel was quite kind.

The three killers each have their own insistence. Colin Farrell's embarrassed face makes people want to laugh, but after laughing, he can't help sympathizing with him. He is actually very closed in heart, and even when he commits suicide, he has to button his shirt to the top one. , he attempted suicide, so he always insisted in his heart that it was unforgivable for him to kill children by mistake; Brendan Gleeson had always been obedient, but finally jumped off the clock tower to redeem his partner. Although the landing action was not handsome, his happy mood was also the same. His insistence; Leif Fiennes's insistence was only not to kill children, so in the end when he accidentally shot a white dwarf in uniform in the head, he chose to do it himself. I watched three Leif Fiennes films recently, in addition to this one, there are also "The Duchess" and "Life and Death Reading", I feel that his performance in "The Killer Has No Vacation" is the best, with emotional layers, characters Personality is not unique.

The dialogue of this film is very funny and absurd, but behind the absurdity, we see the screenwriter's accusation of the ill-health of British society. This point, the two killers told the audience in a dialogue when they first came to Bruges to visit the clock tower building. "Killers Have No Holidays" wraps screenwriter and director Martin McDonough's deep rebuke of the black society's dissatisfaction with absurd and uninhibited appearance, as well as a certain sense of anxiety. As a director Virgo, this film is very powerful. Also, I recently saw another film that was equally absurd, "Burn After Reading," by the Coen Brothers. It's hilarious to a bunch of big names pretending to be idiots. Watch the two films together.
