understatement

So sad, reading everyone's reviews before starting my own, feels like I've suffered an accident that seriously dented my confidence. Like being seriously spoiled, I don't know what to say. The film gives me the feeling of twists and turns and bizarre, people want to laugh when they want to cry, and when they want to laugh, they feel that the situation is serious and shouldn't laugh. In short, it is to poke at the smiles and tears at the same time, but the sequence is disordered, and people's brain cells have been afraid to relax.

First of all, the perspective of God is the global controller that often appears in novels, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes knowing the overall situation and sometimes being teased by the overall situation. Billy didn't really give me the feeling of being the protagonist at first. He was detached, a little emotional, and his words were always a little weak to the situation. It wasn't until he actually shot a beautiful woman that his identity began to slowly emerge from the shell. It's like a sudden split into another personality, shouldn't Mr. Square J be a bit silly but equally dashing and elusive killer, but he is also the paranoid Billy who is not doing his job properly and is powerless. Usually, the secret of the story unfolds at the end. It can reach a small climax and then slowly die away, leaving an endless aftertaste. However, in this film, there seems to be a checkpoint, and those who pass the checkpoint will slowly take off the realistic and mediocre clothes on their bodies and step into the identity of the remarkably glorious past. But who cares about their secrets like a bomb? no. Everyone uncovers their own or other people's scars like no one else, and sees it as an exploration of the story. Everyone understands that life cannot be repeated, but the script can be revised repeatedly. But Billy rejected the line between true and false, and let beautiful things come into reality because of the script. Is he the controller? It seems that he is not. He doesn't care about the ability and identity he has. The secret he knows is just a game in the script. There is a line in "Sherlock", "All lives end, all hearts are broken". Here you can fully feel their charm. The curtain covering the brokenness and the end is opened, and the naked God's perspective appears a little weak, probably Although he is not afraid of destruction, he still can't get what he doesn't have until he loses his life.

My favorite is Hans, the Throat Cutter. My heart skipped a beat when his wife's blood sprayed a web of capillaries on the wall. I like him the most, at first I thought he was affectionate and pragmatic, but later found him gentle and repressive. Fortunately, it's comforting to be depressed, because you know he might just hurt himself. He cares about heaven, it is better to say that he cares about the people he cherishes; he cares about faith, it is better to say that what he desires is peaceful love. It's a pity that the disaster dragged him down, but it didn't. When the gun was pointed to the head, I admired his backbone. Later, lying in a pool of blood with his wife was distressing (I have to say, they both deserved each other), when he and the black boss were smiling and chatting, God Oh, as if the gloomy gate of hell was opening, but a handful of blood-dropping feather dolls fell out. Does he doubt his beliefs? If it hadn't been mentioned in the film, I wouldn't have felt it at all, because his reaction was too calm and rational, and a little psychological fluctuation counted as doubting belief? Shouldn't faith be in doubt at all times? When he finally fell, when he said, "That's not gray," was my biggest tear.

Some people question heaven, and some people get along in the quagmire of reality. I'm talking about Rabbit Lover and his female companion. It's too domineering. How can you still have the beauty of cutting ribs when you saw people with a chainsaw? Rabbits are cute and beautiful. Whether it is a strong or weak woman, in the film or in the script, it will slowly disappear. Even the woman who is one of the seven neuroses exists only in a microcosm of memory. Hey, does this count as another echo of Billy's script (you can kill women, but you can't bear to hurt animals).

The black boss who appeared in the film, I think, can exist as a pure joke. This person is simply cute, and the specific details are not described. His jammed gun was another epitome of him. This little dog lover's weakness stuck him at critical moments, but didn't really pose a threat to him. He doesn't care about the ending, he only cares about his dog. The one who really cares about professionalism and tragic is that Mr. God named Billy. In the last battle, Billy and Black Boss were very involved in the play, one of them was so tragic, and integrated himself into the script. The one who entered is the same as his gun, he is not ashamed to get stuck, and he can counterattack beautifully indifferently.

And one more, the Viet Cong. Well, I think this person is the one who uses the most skills. His presence has a romantic overtone. The structure of the novel appeared on the screen. His redemption is truly like a drama, time and space are intertwined, psychological hatred and final redemption is simply the pinnacle of sanctification. It is worth mentioning that, where the element of sex appeared in the script, why did the crucial sentence appear at that time, and why did it suddenly turn from human nature to divinity? Whether all of this is meant to be ironic or to reveal something, probably requires each of us to have our own views.

Time seems to be running out, I want to get it done today. The entire structure will not be analyzed, how well it is written on the Internet! Fragmentation brings wholeness, puzzle brings wholeness. Instead of engaging with a big climax, just one puzzle piece has a cosmic completeness. The soundtrack is worth mentioning, such a leisurely tone, but it contrasts with a profound meaning of the plot: it is just a script, just a life, and it is no big deal for all this. "I'm going to kill you on Tuesday" "Well, I have nothing else to do on Tuesday anyway" "You sound like you're going through a hard time" "a little". Yes, everything is just "a little". Understated and understated, yes, that's why I like him.

  • Myra: Do you ever worry we was wrong all those years, and there ain't no heaven and there ain't no nothing?

    Hans: Of course, I worry God loves us. I know He does. He's just got a funny way of showing it sometimes.

    Myra: Sometimes I think God's gone crazy sometimes. Stuff He does, stuff He don't do.

    Hans: Well, He's had a lot to contend with in his time, too, you know. Bastards killed His kid, too.

    Myra: It's just a word, Myra.

  • Billy: What the hell happened?

    Marty: Some punks jumped us. Said they were looking for a little shih tzu. Then some other punk killed those punks.
