Denzel Washington transforms into a killing machine (no longer the docile lolicon Creasy) in the second half of Man on Fire, and the bloody revenge begins with a fallen bailiff, with music playing in the background as the executions are carried out. Come on, it's a rock, called You Betrayed Me. Likewise, The Drop, She's Dead, The Crime Scene, Creasy's Art Is Death, Bullet Tells The Truth, etc., all sounded timely as Denzel Washington shaped his art of death. Especially the vibrato of the guitar in The Drop, the pleasure of murder is incisively and vividly.
The biggest insight after watching the movie can be summed up in this sentence: Before killing people, please come to a rock. According to Schopenhauer, music does not express ideas like other art forms, but expresses the will itself. When the strong percussion rhythm roars and resonates in the chest, at this time, the emotions can be influenced. Playing a shooting game many years ago, many people would play It's My Life with the accompaniment. When the killing intent is overwhelming and any language becomes superfluous, a little rock and roll is enough. Based on this theory, NIRVANA's frontman Kurt Cobain sang his favorite grunge song, Rape Me, before ending his short life with a bullet that couldn't lie.
If a killer doesn't carry a guitar or other musical instrument at work, a bible is a good alternative. Denzel Washington's answer to an old man's words (in the church, they say to forgive) when he's about to blast his target with a bazooka is also biblical: forgetness is between them and god, it's my job to arrange the meeting. The Bible is God's prophecy, and I read a passage that speaks of Moses' wrath and repents for you. Which brings me to another killer, Jules from Pulp Fiction. Before every murder, without exception, read a passage of his beloved Bible.
