I didn't like this movie that much

So I only gave 4 stars, but after reading the comments, I found that there are basically two factions, those who like and hate, and those who are not neutral.

Refute some common ideas:

pretending.
Whoever pretends, Mickey and Mallory are both affectionate and sexual. They can do whatever they want, but they kill too many people, which is not in line with mainstream values. , "Pretend" is a pretense, a pretense, a dishonesty, how could they ever cover up their hearts one day?

You like them so much, you won't like them anymore if you kill them,
yes, let them kill me, I have no problem, give me a shot, but you can't spare you, a hypocrite. my companion. You don't have the sharpness and extremeness of Mickey and Mallory, nor the spirit of Wayne Gale willing to die for the cause. You live like ants, which is extremely sad.

Celebrating bloody violence, it has a bad impact on society.
I only see the horror of violence. If you are as sober and wise as you say, you will not be affected by blood and violence, and you will embark on the road of crime. This is a wake-up call to remind yourself not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and the existence of people like Mickey and Mallory doesn't mean you have to be them.

No matter what, I think this movie is disgusting
. Well, I also think so. Some of the scenes are too cruel, but they cause more stomach discomfort than spiritual ones. Not like how some people make me feel.

I really didn't have a lot of strong feelings about this movie, but some of the comments really made me laugh, so I wrote them.

I'd rather live in a world where Mickey and Mallory could kill at any moment, and people like Wayne Gale everywhere, than be with you guys for even a second.
They're not perfect, but they're so real, so pure, and in a world with them, I feel like I can be a "human".


"The ancients had visions, we have television. But the civilization of spectacle is cruel. The spectators have no memory; because of that they also lack remorse and true conscience...they quickly forget and scarcely blink at the sense of death and destruction of the Persian Gulf War or at the curves of Madonna and Michael Jackson...They await the Great Yawn, anonymous and universal, which is the Apocalypse and Final Judgement of the society of spectacle...We are condemned to this new vision of hell; those who appear on the screen and those of us who watch. Is there an escape? I don't know. One must seek it."

-Octavio Paz

    If I knew it was a male and a female thief, I would have watched it long ago; the background music is missing a bit; the movie is really hypocritical and weak to watch murder
