This film is about seven neuropathy. I think the neuropathy referred to here is to magnify and magnify a certain aspect of a normal person's mind, and then reveal it without reservation.
The first neurosis is a "serial killer who specializes in assassinating mid- to high-ranking members of the Italian-American mafia syndicate, with a neat, ruthless approach, and throws down a square hook after each "assault" (for the transcendent All the mafia, and even all the evil forces in general, because soon after the opening, Billy mentioned Mafia from Sicily and Yakuza from Japan when he provided creative ideas to Marty. The incarnation of justice that punishes evil and promotes good It means." I think what he wants to show first is the justice side of human nature, the so-called heroism.
The second insane is a Quaker whose beloved daughter was tragically killed at the hands of criminals. "Because the doctrine cannot kill, so he pursues and stalks the murderer all his life; the murderer converts to religion to seek redemption because of his guilt, but in order to get rid of his stalking, he gives up by suicide and ascends to heaven (Christian suicides go to hell), but before dying, he sees Quakers also committed suicide without hesitation, and the murderer must have swallowed his last breath in despair. It fully demonstrated his paranoid belief in revenge: even if he went to hell, he would not let you go." I think it may be the instinct of revenge in people's hearts, even if he can't kill, he will make your life worse than death, even if it is to give up his own life.
The third is Mafia Charlie. "Typical mafia, inverting right and wrong, cruel and cruel, without a healthy world view, because his pet dog is lost, he will kill all over the world, even the old lady who has cancer." On the other hand, the evil side of people's hearts, for their own selfish desires, can not wash all the costs, this is the obsession with desire.
The fourth is Vietnamese. Marty himself is just sketching a Viet Cong who came to America for revenge, strapping dynamite to a prostitute to avenge her wife and daughter (there is a vengeful one) who was brutally murdered by American soldiers. Before Hans died, he helped Marty to outline a monk (referring to the image of Shi Guangde), "Meditating in the United States kidnapped prostitutes with bombs and gasoline to bomb the Vietnam War veterans' assembly, but in reality, they poured oil on the streets of Vietnam and set themselves on fire to show Protest. Although others persuaded him that this would not help, he felt that there was at least hope, so he resolutely set himself on fire and used a paranoid to achieve his goals by calmly ending his own life. In fact, this image is the perfect projection of Hans' heart , his own life can be abandoned at any time. Immediately after his wife was killed, Hans sat quietly opposite the murderer and chatted with him. As predicted by brother marquiswill: if it was not because the situation was completely controlled by No. 7, he would be crucified. The murderer won't let it go. When he realized that Charlie's men were going to kill Billy and Marty, he calmly tricked them into killing himself in front of the police to save his friend." He was even willing to stay and die with Billy for the sake of his friend. (Because he can't kill at all). Such a person has faith. Maybe he once doubted his faith, but it was only for a moment. He was the believer in the most Yucheng city.
The fifth and sixth are serial killers Zach and Maggie, who are "running serial killers. Zac Kleon burglarized the house but accidentally rescued Maggie, a black sex slave imprisoned by the judge. Since then, the two began their wandering assassination careers. Zodiac, the famous serial killer who made the unsolved murder case. There is quite a bit of the mood of a rogue couple; unfortunately, Zaklaa didn't want to kill anymore, and the two broke up." I don't quite understand what these two characters are trying to say, but Aversion to killing? Or is it primitive desire? In any case, the few shots I saw seemed to be filled with these two feelings, maybe as I personally guessed, this is what this work wants to express.
The seventh is Billy, he is an idealistic guy who wants to do things for the world but has nothing to do all day. "In order to inspire his friend's screenwriter, he did not hesitate to incarnate the No. 1 neurotic killer to provoke gangsters, and took the initiative to clean up gangsters for Tianxingdao. He laughed and laughed all day, and even finally duel with the black boss. This kind of mentality is quite "fight with heaven" The meaning of endless fun". There is a button here. The film says that the seventh is the first, which means that there are only six mental illnesses in total. I think the seventh should refer to Marty. On the one hand, he is not drunk. The contrast between the pretense before and the real self after being drunk; on the other hand, Zach, the sixth neurotic, finally found Marty to seek revenge. Unexpectedly, Marty was very calm after a hardship, and the sixth Thoughtfully, he hugged the rabbit and left. He has already looked down on death, which may be a kind of neurosis in the eyes of normal people.
I think, in this film, there is also a layer of black humor about religion, dark Refers to those believers in the most Yucheng city, they are all insane. They are not willing to give up their own lives because of their adherence to the creed of religion...
Finally, I once again express my admiration for the article written by brother Marquiswill, which is too strong logical reasoning.
