"Boring" is the ultimate state of loneliness

After watching "The American" by Uncle George Clooney, I knew that most people would not like it.
This is an extremely boring movie. Most of the time, Uncle George walked, slept and stared alone and had nothing to do with the plot.
The plot is also simple or old-fashioned and a mess. The last mission of the killer, the turn of the killer and the characters behind the scenes, the killer meets the beloved woman (even if it is a prostitute), all of these, the last novice screenwriter can write in three days Five scripts were published.
So it was Uncle George who supported the whole movie. Needless to say, this 50-year-old man, who doesn’t sleep after watching most of the movie, is all kinds of young and old women who are idiots Uncle George to a certain level. NS.
At this point, it seems that I am a thorough and one-sided criticism of this film. but not.
I also didn't doze off after watching most of the movie. It was not my sexual orientation, but the deep loneliness and loneliness that permeated the movie.
The small Italian city is dilapidated but tidy, silent like Atlantis that has been sinking under the sea for thousands of years. The small town built on the hillside is all made of stone. As far as I can see, there is only a cold lime gray, walls made of large and small stones, and streets of polished gravel and cobblestones. No matter whether it is day or night, people are rarely seen.
Most of the time, Uncle George walks in such a small city like this, just like walking in this world and knowing.
In this way, the inner world of a middle-aged killer is connected to a city. A small town is like life, a lonely monotone.
The stream outside the city is ordinary but beautiful, quiet and gentle, just like the dream that has been dreaming and the person who is waiting. It’s a pity that often intentionally or unintentionally failed to maintain the original beauty and purity, so the killer’s lover was
injured in the stream by the bullets thrown by the killer and the customer. When the injured killer came to the stream, the stream Became the killer's final destination.
Leaving in a dream rather than a cold reality, this ending may be a kind of happiness.

    I don't understand what Clooney is doing for this kind of film.

    After the gun was shot, I was in love, and Jinpen washed his hands and begged to get out. There are natural scenery in Europe, Clooney, who is rarely boring but not showy, and the lines of Italian beauties. Hollywood is old-fashioned in the tune of European art, and "The Killer Has No Holidays" does a better job in this regard.
