Start with this one and take notes every time you watch the movie.
Who is the protagonist of this film? It's actually a bit vague. After watching it, the first impression is that this film tells a story of revenge, so the protagonist should be Del Toro, but at the beginning of the film, it even reaches the first three-quarters , we are basically watching from the perspective of the heroine. First, she is on a mission. A failed mission may lead to a big conspiracy behind it. The heroine was asked by Josh Brolin to participate in the task of capturing the black hand behind it, leading to the mysterious Del Toro, a person who participates in characters as a consultant, is calm and active, seems to know everything, like the master, we followed the heroine to "see" all kinds of places beyond her daily habits, all kinds of unscrupulous means , she hopes to participate in this mission according to the rules she is familiar with, but more and more she finds out the real reason for her being added (but it is to give the mission a legal status, and she does not need to do anything), and even occasionally/accidentally used as bait. The purpose of Del Toro's role is what we heard from Brolin. Brolin explained it to the heroine. Del Toro said he was a consultant, but in fact he used to work for a criminal group and was later killed by the boss. For his wife and daughter, he is going for revenge. After that, Del Toro takes our audience to complete the revenge paragraph. This paragraph is naturally the protagonist. From his point of view, we are calm and cold-blooded, but we are happy with our grudges. We also retaliate against our enemies, killing his wife and children. Then kill him again. In addition, there is another character that is described more than usual. Which Mexican police officer is also shown from the perspective of the heroine. Several scenes are separated, seemingly idle. At first I thought he was a drug dealer, then saw The police car, thought he was on the side of justice, then saw the gun, knew that he was colluding with the drug lord, and then saw him loading drugs into the police car, and then Del Toro caught him and used him to get close to the final BOSS, He has a wife and a son. Every time he appears in his home, his son asks him to watch him play football. It is very warm. When he knows that he is a person who colluded with drug dealers, his son does not appear anymore. "Bad Guy" was used and killed, and gave him a foreground in the moving camera. At the end, the last scene of the film does not stop at the place where del Toro persuaded the heroine, but there is also a scene where the son of a fallen policeman plays football. The mother brings her son to the stadium, and the son is shot when he kicks the ball. The sound of gunfire in the distance was interrupted, and everyone looked in the direction of the gunshot for a long time before returning to the game, a very meaningful ending.
Therefore, this film uses three angles when looking at this issue. Although the system is also very strong, the heroine who is a woman after all is not able to accept this kind of brutal logic. Del Toro, who knows the dire straits in the jungle, is cold-blooded like a wolf But the starting point is that revenge is not malicious to the heroine, only asks not to get in the way, and it is hard to say whose perspective, Del Toro's ruthless hand to kill his wife and daughter also caused new damage, but all this is in This jungle-like Mexico seems like a no-brainer.
