Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri evaluation action

The film director Martin Macdonald, as a representative of the Western drama circle facing the drama directly, does not avoid violence and blood itself, but chooses to directly portray the dark parts of human nature such as anger, violence, and prejudice with absurd methods, with a lot of swear words in his lines. Use the edge of evil to portray evil, use violence itself to counter violence, and use crime types to counter crime types. Combining humor, absurdity, pain with emotions, humanity, and virtues, to create this black humor film that is constantly inverted throughout the whole process, full of dramatic tension and arousing audiences' thoughts. In the process of watching, you must concentrate, because every line has a subtext, and every humor has a double meaning behind it. The director is good at using metaphors, cultural symbols, slang, puns, embarrassing situations, funny situations, etc., to create suitable various settings for the characters to enrich the drama of the characters. 
The ingenious reversal of the film's script is to drop the big hero onto the small person. The white policeman who was the most mother-in-law, the most boring, and even provoked a complaint about discrimination against people of color. Encouraged by the love of his deceased colleague's suicide note, he swore to his death to prove that he was a good detective, and finally embarked on the path of chasing the murderer with his mother. This absurd contrast is precisely the strength of the little person, the will to love that bursts out.

    #Venice2017# The movie queen has been released. It's really a good script like a textbook, it breaks a lot of routines, and the characterization is very vivid. In addition, the director has strong control, no lack of humor, and good social observation. The discussion on hatred and anger fits well with the current social conditions.

    The text is a carefully calculated high-end product. What I appreciate more is that under the absurd division of black, it maintains the unity of warm colors, angrily complains of the divided, cruel, and violent social status quo, but it can bridge the reality in the subtle social sentiment. The most obvious thing about the division of the situation is that there is no sense of contradiction between the two. This is the United States.
