Gangsters need to learn philosophy

I don't know if it's because of my lack of brain power or the subtitles used in translation are a bit confusing. I watched the whole movie in a daze.

The sex scene at the beginning of the film suddenly opened up expectations, but then the film took nearly half of the time to show all kinds of profound dialogues, all kinds of jargon, jargon, and all kinds of life philosophies, which are quite tormenting.

In the second half of the game, there was a problem with drugs, and the contradiction between interests was intensified. However, as the plot progressed, various "philosophers" emerged one after another. In order to find a way to survive, Uncle Fa asked for help. People, but in the end they were rejected after listening to some criticism and education of philosophy of life.

Brad Pitt's role is also sad. At the beginning of the film, a sharp weapon for decapitation is introduced. It comes with a small electric motor and is locked around the neck until the head is cut off. This artifact was finally wrapped around the character of Brother Pete and died on London Avenue.

How to put it, I personally think that the first half of this movie is too long, and the lines are some kind of words that need to be chewed and may be understood. This makes the people watching the movie too tired. From the perspective of the title, this seems to be a killer. The gangster movies that come and go, come and go, turned out to be adult education movies. It's a pity these stars...

    Even if there are big names, even if some of the dialogues are quite exciting, even if the filming is exquisite, is this your sister really a movie?

The Counselor quotes

  • Jefe: Machado would have traded every word, every poem, every verse he ever wrote for one more hour with his beloved. And that is because when it comes to grief, the normal rules of exchange do not apply, because grief transcends value. A man would give entire nations to lift grief off his heart. And yet, you cannot buy anything with grief, because grief is worthless.

    Counselor: Why are you telling me this?

    Jefe: Because you continue to deny the reality of the world you're in. Do you love your wife so much, so completely, that you would exchange places with her upon the wheel? And I don't mean dying, because dying is easy.

    Counselor: Yes! Yes, damn you!

    Jefe: Well, that is good to hear, Counselor.

    Counselor: What are you saying? Are you saying this is a possibility?

    Jefe: No. It's impossible.

    Counselor: You said I was that man - at that crossing.

    Jefe: Yes. At the understanding that life is not going to take you back. You are the world you have created. And when you cease to exist, this world that you have created will also cease to exist. But for those with the understanding that they're living the last days of the world, death acquires a different meaning. The extinction of all reality is a concept no resignation can encompass. And then, all the grand designs and all the grand plans will be finally exposed and revealed for what they are. And now, Counselor, I have to go, because I have to make other calls. If I have time, I think I'll take a small nap.

    Malkina: To see quarry, killed with elegance, it's just moving to me.

    Banker: Is it sexual?

    Malkina: Yes, of course. A thing like that is always sexual. The hunter has grace, beauty, and purity of heart to be found nowhere else. You can make no distinction between what they are and what they do. And what they do is kill. We, of course, are another matter. It is our faintness of heart that has driven us to the edge of ruin. Perhaps you won't agree, but nothing is crueler than a coward. And the slaughter to come is probably beyond our imagining.

    Banker: I think you've told me more than I wish to know.

    Malkina: Then I'll say no more. Shall we think about ordering? I'm famished.
