I have seen a lot of diehard fans of the director or the leading role give five stars, and many friends who are particularly disgusted with this style have given one star, then I will neutralize it and give it to Samsung.
First of all, I am not a fan of the film's director or any actors, so I don't have any emotions. But for the photography and image style of this film, I really like it from the bottom of my heart. It gives people a sense of psychedelic feeling, and the use and mastery of the light is also just right, which is more obvious than during (Desperate Driving). However, the soundtrack is relatively weak. In order to match the proliferation of long shots in the film, the soundtrack is relatively low-key and does not play a big role, but a few soundtracks are still great.
Perhaps the most criticized thing about this film is the plot. A 90-minute movie tells nothing more than a revenge story, which also incorporates a lot of analysis of the protagonist. However, the few lines in the whole film are almost negligible, replaced by the director's never-ending slow motion and close-ups, as well as some metaphors. This is also a place where many people are dissatisfied, but this kind of pretense, and the expression of gods and gods can be regarded as gods by a small group of people, and it can only be said that the carrots and cabbage have their own love. The violent content of the film can be said to be nc-17 level, and it is a violent scene of torture nature, which I prefer.
The ending is a bit awkward, but it is also a very appropriate ending, forgive me by God. Gosling's profile is handsome and impeccable, but he can't be abused when he punches, Khan. Other Thai actors are okay, but the Thai language sounds unpleasant. The Oedipus and the killing of the father are really true. . . .

    The film has a concise and complete narrative, and expresses a series of contents such as compassion, violence, punishment, revenge, etc. It is chaotic but rich, but with Ryan Gosling's calmness that makes people want to punch him in the face, The film uses slow push-pull shots to develop the pretense to a realm that only God can forgive, so that he has become one. Another good thing about this movie is that it's short, so it's okay to watch it.
