Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri evaluation action

2021-10-13 18:32
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.

    The transition between sadness, joy and anger is so "embarrassing". It's really "amazing" that all the actors can continue to act. It's really difficult for the director and screenwriter to have more reversals than Bengue's mystery novels. How did you get an Australian wife? Write simple mind people as a stubborn idiot, and the only two sheriffs who make sense are one dead and the other black. It's really easy, and it's all a satire on Trump.

    When you are completely on the side of the bereaved mother, you realize that she can also be a perpetrator; when you think that the sheriff is just as cowardly and useless as the billboard says, you realize that he is also on the journey of his life. To death; when you think that the racist idiot policeman is out of help, you find that he has changed completely because of a letter. No one is absolutely right, no one is absolutely evil, in the name of love, it can be good or evil.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri quotes

  • Geoffrey: I just wanted to say, there's a lot of good friends of Bill Willoughby in this town, Ms. Hayes...

    [before Geoffrey could complete his sentence, Mildred, agitated, grabs the dentist drill Geoffrey is holding and drills a hole into his right thumbnail]

    Geoffrey: Goddamn it!

    Mildred Hayes: Then why don't you tell those good friends of Bill Willoughby to tell him to go do his fucking job, fat boy.

    [Mildred then spits at Geoffrey before the next scene starts]

    Willoughby: Hey there Mildred! You didn't happen to pay a visit to the dentist today, did you?

    Mildred Hayes: No.

    Willoughby: Uh?

    Mildred Hayes: I said "no".

    Willoughby: Oh, so it wasn't you who drilled a little hole in one of big fat Geoffrey's big fat thumbnails, no?

    Mildred Hayes: Of course not.

    Willoughby: Huh?

    Mildred Hayes: I said, "Of course not".

    Denise: You drilled a hole in the dentist?

    Mildred Hayes: Denise, no, I didn't.

    Willoughby: Well, I thought it was kind of funny myself, but he wants to press charges, so we're gonna have to bring you in, I'm afraid.

  • Mildred Hayes: [Upon discovering Denise got arrested] Rat bastards.

    [Mildred then enters the police station house]

    Mildred Hayes: Hey fuckhead!

    Dixon: What?

    Desk Sergeant: Don't say "what", Dixon, when she comes in calling you a fuckhead, and don't you come in here...

    Mildred Hayes: Shut up!

    Mildred Hayes: [to Dixon] You, get over here.

    Dixon: No! You, get over here.

    Mildred Hayes: Alright.

    Desk Sergeant: What? Don't, Dixon!

    Dixon: What? I'm...

    Desk Sergeant: You do not allow a member of the public to call you a fuckhead in the station house!

    Dixon: That's what I'm doing, I'm taking care of it in my own way, actually. Now get out of my ass! Mrs. Hayes, have a seat! What is it I can do for you today?

    Mildred Hayes: Where's Denise Watson?

    Dixon: Denise Watson's in the clank.

    Mildred Hayes: On what charge?

    Dixon: Possession.

    Mildred Hayes: Of what?

    Dixon: Two marijuana cigarettes. Big ones.

    Mildred Hayes: When's the bail hearing?

    Dixon: I asked the judge not to give her bail on account of her previous marijuana violations and the judge said sure.

    Mildred Hayes: You fucking prick!

    Dixon: You do not call an officer of the law a fucking prick in his own station-house, Mrs. Hayes. Or anywhere, actually.

    Mildred Hayes: What's with the new attitude, Dixon? Your momma been coaching ya?

    Dixon: No. My momma didn't do that.

    Dixon: [as Mildred leaves the police station house] Take 'em down, you hear me?

    Desk Sergeant: You did good, Dixon.

    Dixon: Yeah, I know I did.
