Solve the problem your way

The whole film is light and humorous, and I didn't want to express my emotions at first, but at the end of the film, the part that made me think was staged.

When Danny asked Julian to help him kill, Julian said something completely beyond imagination. If Julian agreed, then this is a simple and successful comedy, but Julian refused, he told Dan Ni, "You don't want to be like this, we are different people." What kind of people are they, and how are they different? There is such an answer in the film that "what you do determines who you are".

In fact, Danny was originally just an ordinary person, using ordinary people's methods to solve the problem, he can only persuade customers to make the business successful, if it fails, and then start from scratch, he can only improve his business ability to the next level. Imagine if he used Julian's way to kill his opponent this time, what would he think about in this situation in the future, or would he simply think that there is no way, and would he simply go back and improve his business ability? No, he will instead focus his energy on killing opponents.

However, doing everything requires cost. Solving the problem with a killer method will also bear the cost of the killer. There is guilt for the victim, the fear of being arrested, and all kinds of suffering, people's energy will be consumed in this way. To put it another way, if Danny did not choose this method, then he would continue to work in his own way, and his efforts would eventually be rewarded.

Which of the two methods is better is a matter of opinion. There is just one thing that people should realize that each method has to pay a corresponding price. There is no free lunch in the world.

Now is an impetuous society, and everyone wants to play tricks, thinking that there is a better way than hard work. Seeing other people's beard slipping and taking pictures immediately, I feel unfair and think it's a shortcut. In fact, those who slid their beards also have their own worries, and he also paid the price. The question is what kind of price you are willing to pay and what kind of person you are. No matter what kind of person you are, do things in your own way, and you will gain from your hard work.

    Uh, this is the most unsuccessful film selection in the past two days. Except Brosnan still has a charm, the whole film has nothing to watch. It is also a killer theme, and this film is far from the little dark horse "In Bruges".

    Julian is similar to a bullfighter. Killer is an industry that is free from the border of death. Like a bullfighter, he wants to let other creatures die. The difference is that the bullfighter is a bull and Julian is a man. When Julian was young and proud, it can be said that he let the person who accepts death die with a single shot, without pain. But Julian also has his old age, and he can't complete the task, and he is destined to die at the gunpoint of others.

The Matador quotes

  • Julian Noble: An assassin without confidence is a horrible thing to behold. It's like a relief pitcher who fumbles the ball.

    Danny Wright: Please tell me you know you mixed two sports in a metaphor.

    Julian Noble: Huh? Yeah, I can't do that.

  • Julian Noble: I want to retire to a beautiful little Greek island, filled with beautiful little Greeks!
