I saw that the title was Tom's debut villain, so he was reluctant to open it. After all, that handsome soup guy with strong skills and deep eyes suddenly became the villain, which is not acceptable to someone like me who has a strong sense of watching movies.
But goose, Tom on the cover is still handsome, let's take a look. As a result, looking at it, I feel that this is Tom's best performance. I thought it was an action movie or a speeding movie, but it turned out to be a literary film, and commercial promotion couldn't hide its literary paper.
For at least 20 minutes after Vincent came on stage, there was no frontal shot of him speaking. At that time I thought, is this the director deliberately trying to cover up Shuaitang's crappy acting skills? However, Vincent himself is an indifferent person. He has no fear of killing people. It is just a job. Like any other job, it can't be more ordinary. Is this really a villain? When we watched Killer Li Ang, we didn't think that Renault was the villain. The same is true here. It's not because the killer is the villain. When we watched the movie, we didn't sympathize with the person who was killed by him. Instead, when he died, we felt so sorry and touched in our hearts. Life is like this, there is no absolute black and white, everyone is gray.
A lot of people were talking about why Max should care about the murder of a fat ass in that passage, and many people were probably like me at the time, thinking that what Vincent said left us speechless. Come to think of it, do we, including Max, really care about someone's death? If Max had read on the news that someone was murdered in a certain building last night, would he have the slightest mercy? No, we don't care. What we care about is not the dead person, but the trouble that the dead person brings us. What Max was afraid of was that he was involved in the murder, that he might be in trouble, and that Vincent might even kill him. Yes, we are all cold people, and like Vincent said in the film, we don't grieve that a person dies on the train, as long as we are not involved in it. We are hypocrites most of the time, and society teaches people to be kind, so when we see people die, we routinely express sympathy, but we don't feel sad about it, no worse than paying for a bad meal. more sad. This is just human nature, Vincent sees through this nature, so he can kill without any scruples. He doesn't care about others, he doesn't even care about himself.
Not liking the ending of the film very much, Max finally summoned the courage and rescued the girl he liked. Whether it's Vincent's credit or the power of love, a docile taxi driver has limited ability to be inspired. The routine of the movie is like this. After all kinds of setbacks, the protagonist suddenly rises up and catches up, and his ability explodes in an instant. No, it's not human nature, we've all been inspired, and yet we're the same. Of course we didn't have a night as thrilling as Max's. I mean, the ending was too heroic, and if it wasn't interpreted that Vincent was tired of the world and decided to give up on himself, then I'd just say it's a cliché. Open a small brain hole, if, if Vincent happened to kill the female prosecutor when Max arrived, what would happen next? And if the first person killed didn't accidentally fall out of the window, and Max didn't know the identity of the killer, would they still have those conversations? Will Vincent kill Max again after completing the mission?
Perhaps Vincent's death can match the theme of the story. On such a lonely night, a defeated wolf died alone. He doesn't fight to win, and naturally, he doesn't care about losing. His death is just another star that has quietly disappeared in this cold and lonely world, just like the death of any of us.
