The inner monologue of an ordinary father:
Today is another busy day. I finished an operation in the morning and the operation was very successful. As a doctor, it is indescribable the sense of success that can bring patients back from the death line. After receiving my daughter and walking home with her little hand, I think today may be the happiest day in my ordinary life. "You are the best" - to her, I will always say the most gentle words. Next Friday, my baby girl will be 9 years old. She seems to be more independent day by day, and today she said she wants to send the invitation alone. It's hard to imagine how old a babbling, toddler was at that time. Before she hopped out the door, his wife tied a beautiful bow tie in her hair. My daughter is beautiful, just like her mother. I was very tired after work, but felt full and beautiful when I got home. When I wake up, I should discuss with my wife how we will celebrate the birthday of this little angel at home next week.
The above may be the inner monologue of the father in the film before he wakes up.
I have also watched a few revenge movies, and this movie is a very normal plot. But why would I want to give 5 stars?
I am an only child who is favored by my parents, and it is natural to imagine the love this father has for his daughter. As a doctor, his life seems to be very simple: working in a hospital, his colleagues think he is a gentleman and a well-mannered man; he has no bad hobbies in his spare time, and he picks up his daughter when he gets a chance after get off work; his wife is a painter (presumably), and the couple Harmonious sex life. When his daughter was killed, self-blame and guilt filled his internal organs. Tears could not flow out, and the throat was bitter and unspeakable. When I saw the last part, on the seventh day, the father saw his daughter's vision in a drowsy state. He didn't say a word, but carefully took his daughter's little hand and took her to wash. He undid the headband from his daughter's wrist and wiped away the dirt from her little face with water. I was stunned when I cleaned the blood on my ears, and my nose was suddenly sour again. He saw that there were several wounds on her thin wrist, and after wiping off the blood scab, another string of red blood gurgled out. He is a doctor, he has seen wounds and blood, and even thousands of strange internal organs. But after seeing the small string of Yin Hong, the army collapsed. "I didn't protect her well", maybe this was the only thought in my father's mind at the time. From the moment the little man lay in his arms, the father said to himself, "It is your responsibility to protect her, to raise her as an adult, and to see her get married and have children." How can a man who suffers from wounds for a long time endure the tragic death of his daughter?
There are several contrasting cases in the film: the police officer's wife was shot to death by a thief, and he sent the criminal to prison, but he didn't dare to sleep back to the double bed, so he had to sleep on the sofa, and every day he would unconsciously stare at his wife being killed. The box of videotapes that appeared to be able to torture the terrifying criminal with thoughts; the protagonist's wife is getting depressed, as if she will escape from this world after sleeping, this world without her daughter; among the families who have been murdered, there is no support The single mother who did the hero's actions took 4 years to cover up her wounds. The transitions of these plots are more natural and not abrupt.
The deer that appears in the film is a metaphor, implying the hero's mentality. At first sight, the deer was dead, and the male protagonist stopped and watched for a while, but there was no extra movement, just continued to walk away. At this time, he was numb, like a man whose head was plunged into the fog, and hatred made his eyes black. When he noticed the deer again, it had already eaten a large part of it. He couldn't bear it, and covered its wreckage with waste branches like there was no silver here. At this time, he was terrified. He seemed to be giving himself a psychological suggestion to cover up his fear and helplessness, "It's okay, it's okay." The third time I saw it, I still couldn't bear it. I dragged the deer and threw it into the center of the lake with the boat. He seemed a little lost and helpless, and the defensive wall built up by his mind seemed to disappear brick by brick. He wanted to avoid this fear, for fear that it would swallow him up. The last time, the deer's corpse was pushed to the shore of the lake by an unknown force. He stared at it as if it had been immobilized. Look, as if asking him, "Do you regret it?" At this time, it was not so much a sense of powerlessness as to seek relief but to no avail, but rather the silence that swept over after being stared at by the abyss.
This film has no soundtrack. I used to think that the soundtrack was an essential element of contemporary drama. But with this movie, my own brain started to give frame after frame, piece after piece of the soundtrack. But suddenly I felt that this silent depression was the most suitable background music.
Back to the topic, should contemporary society suppress violence with violence? In the film, the police officer said, "What I want to save is not the criminal, but him (the hero)." I want to say that people can only save themselves forever. Human nature, which has been discussed by countless philosophers, seems to have similarities and differences. Human nature is inherently good, I believe, but I am also a firm supporter of an eye for an eye. There is no perfect formula for calculating or framing a person's thoughts, so people's choices vary widely, as long as they can be held accountable for their actions. Criminals rape and kill young children, he should be responsible; the male protagonist uses violence to control the criminals to repay his debts, and he also chooses to be handcuffed. This film is the response of an ordinary father. He is also a person with flesh and blood. He chooses this way. You can say that he is trying to escape, or that he is just trying to vent his anger, but it is his choice after all. We have the freedom to express our opinions, but not the right to judge others. Many people say that the law has. Yes, but as a tool, can the law heal all heartaches? It's not a power game, it's an inner battle. What is right and what is wrong has never been precisely defined. So don't talk about right and wrong, because you can never understand how the client feels.
The above, I feel the movie, the first five-star movie in March 2019. Don't want to compare it to other revenge movies, there's no reason, it's just lazy.
