Since the national genre was not released, when I saw the introduction of "Universal Screen", I couldn't wait to watch the first one.
The plot in the first part is relatively simple, basically a story about the weak son of a gang boss who sells all his gangsters for an old car, but the overall rhythm of the first part is not strong, if Marcus Without watching everything behind John's back, it is estimated that John is not far from death, and coupled with the constant serious injuries of the first part, after watching it many times, I will feel that there is a lack of feeling.
The second part has completely added the rhythm and links that the first part lacked, and the first part is closely connected at the beginning, so that the audience will not feel inexplicable, and the theme of Marker is tightly buckled throughout the film. For self-protection, John only It is impossible to escape back to the abyss step by step. From the moment Antonio came to John, it meant that the killer world was always by John's side, like a curse that could never be shaken off.
In the second part, I personally think that the climax is not the three murder scenes (the first taxi kills, the second kills the Pope, the third kills Antonio), the climax is more like John and Winston standing on the square at the end, John asks Winston why Before he could solve himself, Winston raised his head slightly, all the pedestrians stopped to look at John and left under Winston's instructions. This reflects the strength of the entire Continental, as well as the helplessness of Winston, who is at the top of the killer world, but still can't break the rules for his friends. In the end, John left a lonely back in the running, which made me feel powerless. This kind of back makes me think of the last Batman of "The Dark Knight" who is willing to become the pursuit target of the police in order to implement the righteousness. When John experiences his beloved wife, dog, friends, car, home, and even the only video with his wife, that kind of loneliness and powerlessness is what we should feel.
