      That numb world

      Another movie indicting the inferiority of capitalism, hehe. Abel has always wanted to do business in a so-called righteous way and to make a light in this dark circle. In fact, I don't know if he did it for others to see, or to deceive himself. Anna's sentence sums it all up: Don't always pretend that all this is your own efforts, your hard work, and pretend to be a good man~~~~ Finally Abel seems to be forced to accept the unspoken rules, but when the driver commits suicide, he leaks it....

      Writer of sensational headlines

      From the poster to the name to the movie scene, "The Year of Violence" seems to imply that the audience is a gangster blockbuster. After watching it, I found that the film is indeed related to the gangster, but no one wants to see those kinds of awesomeness. The film tells the story of a New York oil businessman in the 1980s who was between his idealism and cruel reality. The story is flat and straightforward, more realistic and low-key. This kind of drama has always been applauded or not even...

      road to violence

      I don't know why I thought of watching "The Year of the Most Violent", maybe it's to watch Sister Chastain, and now I'm also watching Isaac.
      Morales wanted to be an honest oil businessman, hoping to buy the terminal to expand his business; but in the "year of violence", someone robbed his oil tanker, the district attorney checked the account, and his driver was suspected of illegal With a gun, the bank refused to lend...

      The most violent year: a businessman's attempt to be independent and helpless



         There are spoilers.

         After reading "The Year of the Most Violent", I also read a lot of comments. Everyone mentioned that aber is a law-abiding businessman. I basically agree with this description (he is a businessman with no evidence of illegality), but I doubt aber's motives.

         If the silt is out of the soil, if it is not dyed, I will say that I must know what the silt looks like. Aber’s father-in-law is the boss of the gang, why didn’t he get help from the...

      It's as grim as the storm of interest, but I really like the age and tone of this film. I narrate without haste under the surface of calm, and stop every time I feel like I can dig deeper. Oscar is really like AL ​​here. After watching several of his films, he finally became familiar with this face, which can be regarded as a chameleon hidden under the character. The model worker's blonde hair is so...

    Director J.C. Chen Doer used the skills of a professional playwright to peel off the entire story and characters layer by layer and show them to the audience. ("Hollywood Reporter " review)
    This tough, rough, and atmospheric story lacks some of the methodical skills in "All Is Lost." However, the suppressed tension in the film and the director's skillful manipulation of the complex plot made up for this deficiency. (Comment on...
