Some secret observations of "Three Billboards" (spoiler alert)

Sam 2022-03-22 09:01:08

1. At the beginning, the collection of novels that the advertising agency owner Welby was reading was Flannery O'Connor's "A Good Man Is Hard to Find". O'Connor is a "forever southerner", Irish, and Catholic. He writes dark stories about small towns on the border of the United States. Desolate and violent, hit the nail on the head, often can play a role in humanity crit. In connection with the characteristics of this movie-there is no absolute good and evil, no political correctness label that whitewashes reality, confronts the truth and complexity of human nature, and thinks that the director Martin McDonagh is also an Irish-British), it can be said that it is very spiritual. Fit.


2. The name of the town Ebbing is a fictitious, meaning "decline". It is also a metaphor for the "decline" of small cities in the Midwest.
3. The choice of Missouri as the location of the story may be due to the desolation of the Midwest. According to the director's own memories, he, an Irish who grew up in London, first ran to Chicago and then to Montana, and finally decided that the story should happen in Missouri.

4. The movie was actually shot in a small town called Sylva in North Carolina. The so-called unprovoked hacking...
(However, it is said to have been welcomed by the residents of the small town)


5. The logic of conviction in Father Mildred's conviction can be said to be very O'Connor. Excitingly wonderful.

6. The Nirvana poster (!) on the wall of her daughter Angela’s bedroom comes from the cover of In Utero. The fourth song on this disc is called Rape Me (.)

7. At Dixon in the bar, he fought with suspicious soldiers in order to obtain DNA. During the regiment, the BGM "Blessed are" (original name "Tonight they drove the old Dixie down") sounded was a song about the Civil War. Atmosphere and tone are intentional, obviously a Yankee soldier (who say that Idaho), while Dixon is obviously (beaten badly) Southern man, whose name was kind enough to Dixie alliterative ......
song To put it simply, the intention is to reflect that the people of the U.S. still have the North and South map artillery (not only the racial artillery area artillery you are familiar with); one point of the conspiracy theory is that "the local (police) cannot do the federal (military)" (if you prefer conspiracy theories) In terms of plot)

8. Regarding whether the retired soldier is the murderer, and the so-called open ending: There are two interpretations.
Interpretation 1: Soldiers are the murderers, because they committed crimes while "passing through" the town, and the files were sealed and systematically sheltered. The black sheriff lied. He went to Mildred's shop for provocations before, probably because of the murderer's gloomy psychology of "revisiting the old place". The conclusion drawn by this reasoning should be two people hand in hand to kill him.
Interpretation 2: Dabing is not a murderer, but he has done similar things overseas. Seeing that some analysts say that the time is set during the war in Iraq at the beginning of the 21st century, it should be common for the US military to be systematically shielded from rape cases abroad. He may be provoking Mildred because he was touched by the billboard incident-while reminiscing about his atrocities in disguise, while experiencing guilt towards the victim's family. In the following two people's pursuit of the murderer should be just unwilling to let go.

9. The original sound is really nice. Confession soundtrack! Focus on the above details and the quality of the original sound.

    The old-fashioned murder and revenge story is told so vividly that the screenwriter is worth one star; the plot is like a layer of bamboo shoots, revealing seven or eight clear, unique, and complicated characters. Two stars give outstanding female and supporting actors. ; Combining visual scenes, musical costumes and other means with rhythmic and complete control of narration should be a star obtained by the director; the clever plot reversal and openness at the end earned this movie the last star . Full marks!

    It's all right, editing, directing, acting, music, everything feels right. It is our luck to live in the same era as Martin McDonagh. The story line is magical, unexpected and reasonable. The black humorous story of genius. How did he do that? Ireland is really the cradle of excellent writers. Full play bone lineup. Watching Frances McDormand's performance is a real treat.
