"Relentless": Behind the hope is despair

Experience and lessons tell us that when dealing with the devil, it is always oneself who suffers, and the loss is only for a moment. But the reason why the devil chose you is that your weakness is enough to make it hard for you to refuse.

This is a movie that requires competition and patience. It will have different feelings at different times. Only in the end, the meaning of the movie will come out. Looking back, the film can be divided into two parts, the front is normal life, and the back is the fictional inner world. In fact, seeing his mother killed here, I suspected that what I saw was not a fake, but that he had an illness and killed his mother.

Let’s analyze this protagonist. If he is right, he should be schizophrenic + potentially violent. There was a big birthmark on his face, which made him ridiculed since he was a child. Gradually, another fictional world split in his mind, where he is happy and healthy, has a beautiful love, a happy family, and a daughter. But in reality, he is cowardly and fearful of life, but behind his back is full of violent factors, revenge the society for the hatred that has been accumulated in his heart for many years.

When his mother died and his elder brother went out, leaving him alone, he made a fictitious deal with the devil based on the scene of the TV screen, using the fear of the devil to force himself to do evil and to kill, and there was a daughter beside him helping him. . But when his beloved woman died in front of him, there was no fear in his heart, and the illusion was shattered. Only then did he see everything in front of him, but it was too late, and everyone who loved him died...

He who had imagined being reborn in the flames, eventually died in the flames. This is a tragedy, because at this time, he is completely awake and understands everything; but it is also his relief. People who do not love have also committed evil and should pay the price. Maybe in heaven, he can find his true self, be happy, and be together with his lover.

Heartless quotes

  • A.J.: Do you know what life really is, Jamie? A meaningless pile of shitty chaos. Accepting it, that's the real bravery. To know that nothing means anything and to still get out of fucking bed. God's will? There is no god.

    Jamie Morgan: If there's no god, then there's no force of good. And that means that there can't be evil. But there's definitely evil. I mean, there are demons.

  • Jamie Morgan: I'm not afraid of you anymore.

    Papa B: No?

    Jamie Morgan: No.

    Papa B: It don't work, unless you're scared, old son.
