The beginning of the film is a short film shot by a mobile phone or similar cheap camera equipment. Although messy and low-resolution, the key lies in reality, and the shocking effect is also directed to the film. Theme-Drugs, violence, guns, accidental murders due to fun, but also heralded the end of life out of control due to overindulgence.
Have you ever killed a person? The
film officially begins. Harry leads his simple and regular retirement life, usually Just go to a bar to drink beer and play chess with my friend Lin. Everything is simple and peaceful
except for the dark, deep and noisy underground tunnels when I go to the hospital every day, and it is such a peaceful life that he suddenly lost not only His wife also has a close friend, and he witnessed his pain with his own eyes just before the murder of his close friend. Under this double pressure, he went to the bar to buy drunk and continue to escape. When Nazhi went home, he was still stared at the wallet in his arms by the gangster. And the result was that when Harry stabbed the bastard's body with a knife under the unmanned bridge, it also heralded the beginning of his resistance.
Now the rate of juvenile crime in British society is increasing year by year, and these real social phenomena are constantly presented to us through Harry’s eyes. The girl in the drug dealer’s house fainted due to overdose, the mobile phone video of her best friend being assassinated, and the neighbors downstairs not only The car was smashed and was beaten by the gangsters. In the empty and quiet night, there was only his wife's wailing. The girlfriend was almost raped while the boyfriend was beaten when the couple passed through the underpass. The drug trade on the street in the bar. Harry saw this reality time and time again, and drew the curtains again and again to endure it. This ultimately led him to decide to enforce his own justice
The conflict that impressed me the most in the film occurred in the drug dealer’s room. The gloomy light and the cold tones set off the environment at that time, not to mention two very different opposites-one side is the hair that has not been washed for a long time. Young bastard with a sloppy dress and a slick voice. On the other side was an old man with white hair and wrinkles in a formal suit. Everyone will look forward to the collision of this combination, and the following shots are enough to exceed our expectations. The room full of marijuana, the girl in a coma, the arm with a needle inserted and the intense pornographic video tape, what impressed me was the quiet scene of the drug dealer calling out the name of her girlfriend.
Next, the director showed us different ways of taking drugs, using nose, arm injection, calf injection, and pistol lighting. It seems that drug dealers are constantly tempting Harry, but they are actually showing us the ugly side of drugs. It is conceivable that the final result will inevitably be controversial and trial. A drug dealer is not only pierced with a knife in his hand, but also headshot, and another The drug dealer forgot to load the bullet because he smoked marijuana with a pistol. It must be said that this is a scene carefully arranged by the director.
Harry's transformation has been divided into many stages, from the regular old life to the pain of losing a loved one, to the murder of a close friend, to the decision to kill the drug dealer, and finally the realization that he wants to wash his sins by suicide, and finally to honesty. . These transformations are accompanied by different scenes, such as: the knife in the small black box, the tombstones of kissing the daughter and wife, putting the money in the donation box of the church, taking out the pistol from the bag, and finally walking into the freshly painted one. Underpass.
When it comes to the setting of the movie, although it is not perfect, because I think the main line of the story of the last police crash is a bit far-fetched, the purpose is to let Harry meet the last villain to complete his revenge. But there are some scenes that I really like. For example, after Harry killed the money-robbing gangster, there were uncleaned dishes in the sink at home, and the lighting in the film was very well arranged, especially prominent. The shadow of the character's profile face. Another ingenious setting is the police's questioning after Harry's best friend was killed. The series of Jump cuts accompanied the police's questioning and various F**Ks presented the bad guys in front of us one by one.
