Revenge and Redemption

Deven 2022-04-19 09:02:26

I've always liked movies with dark humor. The film is labeled as a comedy, but its core is full of tragedy. Although I don't quite understand the screenwriter's portrayal of the death of the male lead, it may be an opportunity to make the female lead stronger. It's a redemption, right from the start. When the heroine got out of the car and said I was back. But the object of redemption is not those wicked people, because the wicked will not change or change the evil in their hearts. Redemption is the heroine herself. The heroine's mother desperately wanted her to leave this place, which is full of malice and ugly, but she may have ignored her daughter's thoughts. This is also what moved me the most. They both thought about each other. The mother paved a way back for the heroine, found another town to take orders, and so on. There is also a very interesting character in the movie, who also has his own shining points. It's the sheriff's presence. By the way, Hugo's acting is really good, the transvestite's acting is so cool. The sheriff is a transvestite but not a bt, okay? How many barrage paratroopers are there? Equal and inclusive peace&love Sheriff is neither a completely good person nor a completely bad person. But it's generally good people. So in fact, the existence of the sheriff is the most similar to us ordinary people. He will have his own little secrets, and he will lose his voice when everyone doesn't trust the heroine. It's actually quite helpless. Because he knows that among the wicked, it is impossible to be a clean stream by itself. But in the end, there was still a hurdle in his heart. He always felt sorry for the heroine, so he chose to take the blame for the heroine, which was regarded as his complete redemption for himself.

It's really fun to be satirized with black humor. The characters in it all have a bit of facial features, like a stage play, especially when they looked at their town in panic at the end of the show with Macbeth painted, all the ugliness was vividly displayed at that moment. The director's lens language is very thoughtful.

The heroine Kate Winslet is as beautiful as ever. It is said that she was in her thirties or forties at the time, but she was still beautiful! Beauty is the most beautiful self-confidence! The death of the worst villain is still quite satisfying, because the source of all evil is the evil done by the mayor. So the revenge must be that the audience wants him to die as badly as possible.

Macbeth throughout, has also been hinting at the theme of revenge. This foreshadowing is interesting. Perhaps it is the case that man becomes stronger and more invincible only after he has lost everything.

    A darker film, the good, evil, beauty and ugliness are refined, embodied and aggregated into the same small village, making them confront each other and bite each other. The villagers each have their own stupidity and darkness, and the filth awaits a "cursed girl" to clean up. The performance of the mother-daughter duo is also a highlight.

    What is easy to find for native Australian products is that Kate's starring role is much better than Dogtown in all aspects. Crazy mother also plays very well. Brother Hammer just got into the mouse's nest and couldn't get out. Sheriff Hugo can also be regarded as a scapegoat. In the end, karma pays for the trash and burns it really well. People still rely on clothes, and what Paris has learned to design is different.
