In general, this is a classic (or old-fashioned) revenge story film. For such a film, it is a bit far-fetched to study the philosophy and the true meaning of life contained in it. , the audience never appreciates it from the perspective of humanistic care, but it seems inappropriate to completely deny it, because the classic episode of this type of film is that the relatives or friends of pig's feet are killed by evil forces, and pig's feet are trained hard. A good kung fu, fighting wits and courage, and finally slaying the enemy. This process is always accompanied by the transmission of the idea of "evil is punished, justice is served". If coupled with the final epiphany of pig's feet, from personal hatred to the height of justice, then this movie has the A certain thought. The main line of the story of this movie is not the confrontation between justice and evil, but the vendetta of the gangs. The police are only a secondary line in the whole story, and they do not play a role in representing justice in the whole story. The FBI even has a relationship with the gang for some reason. It is related, that is to say, this kind of vendetta has nothing to do with right or wrong. The entire movie is permeated with death and conspiracy, making the entire movie shrouded in a faint haze. If we want to find the little bit of positive energy shining in it, we must read it carefully. .
Under normal circumstances, there are three major points of interest in such movies: martial arts, beauty and passion. Beauty is the collective name for sportsmen and beauties. This is a movie with a female protagonist, and the majority of male compatriots who want to watch a passionate drama will be disappointed. The extravagant nudity in the film obviously does not stimulate the hormones of the wolves. It is easy to create a male protagonist. Muscles and strength show the iron-blooded side, and mercy shows his masculine charm. Many movies rely on these two magic weapons to create a male protagonist; however, it is difficult to create a female protagonist. Strength and perseverance are indispensable, but these alone are not enough, ignoring the characteristics of women will make the characters not full enough. Personally, I think the female protagonist of this film is quite successful. When the pig's feet Cataleya first appeared, she was a pure and lovely loli with big eyes, eating lollipops and reading books. From the soothing and comfortable family life to the sudden escape, from the love of father and mother to the death of relatives, The director successfully planted a seed of hatred in the pig's feet. Cataleya stabbed Marx to the murderous chase scene. Personally, I feel that it is too abrupt and does not conform to the behavioral characteristics of children. If it can be changed to hide in a corner helplessly to arouse the desire for power, the effect may be better. . From watching her parents die to her calm and alert escape, Cataleya shows her strength, determination and wit. He is ruthless and resourceful in a series of murders that lead to enemies. At this point, a vengeful killer image is formed, and the main character characteristics of Cataleya are formed.
If only this is the case, then such a character cannot be perfect. The director's success lies in showing Cataleya's inner growth experience in a small amount of time and space: encountering great changes and the tragic death of his parents, Cataleya did not cry, but calmed down. Implementing the plan arranged by my father to escape, this stage is the stage when the seeds of hatred are planted in the heart, at this stage, there is hatred in the heart but unable to take revenge; choose the killer career, and secretly implement the revenge plan while helping my uncle work, the seeds of hatred grow rapidly At this stage, revenge is powerful but there is nowhere to take revenge; the identity exposure and the murder of the uncle's family pushed the story to a climax. At this stage, Cataleya used thunder to obtain information on the enemy and avenged it, which brought the whole revenge story to an end. . Analyzing these three stages carefully, at the beginning, Cataleya only had hatred in her heart. In the process of revenge, she had a conflict with her uncle. In addition, she was unable to find an enemy for a long time, which also made her feel exhausted. This is from her relationship with her boyfriend. It can be seen in several scenes: after she murdered in prison, she hoped to have a day off to spend with her boyfriend, and she had an unspeakable demeanor when facing her boyfriend's inquiries. Judging from the actions of her smelling her boyfriend's shirt and sleeping with her boyfriend's clothes in her arms, she still lacked a sense of security in her heart. Cataleya sent her boyfriend a baby crocodile, which should have several meanings. First of all, the baby is very weak and needs the protection of her parents, and she lost both parents since she was a child, so she gave the baby crocodile to her boyfriend, showing her desire for parental affection and hope to make up for it in her boyfriend; secondly, it indicates her own life, baby crocodile She is weak, but when she grows up, she is a cold-blooded killer in the animal kingdom. She can tear her opponent into pieces, just like her life portrayal. Giving it to her boyfriend is a subconscious desire to confess her life to her boyfriend; third It expresses her desire for a normal family life. The baby represents family and marriage. If you give her boyfriend a crocodile baby, it means that she hopes to form a family with her boyfriend and have children. Cataleya has lost her relatives twice, but her performance was different in the two times. The first time she was strong and brave, and the second time she was crying. These two completely different performances reflect Cataleya's inner feelings. Growing up, after losing her parents, her heart was full of hatred. Her uncle had always been opposed to revenge, and hoped that she would live an ordinary life. Her own experience also made her life no longer just hatred. The death of her uncle's family brought her more than just guilt. Although it did not dampen her desire for revenge, she must have learned something. The last phone call between her and her boyfriend obviously showed that she had gotten rid of hatred and was relieved. At the same time, it was also a manifestation of her getting rid of cold blood and returning to warmth. It was a kind of human nature.
Cataleya has so many features that people think killers should not have. Not only does it not weaken her character image, but it makes her image more plump. These features of her are the finishing touch. The director did not successfully create a killer, but successfully created a female killer!
