Incomplete · A kind of sad beauty

As the plot of the movie "In the Name of the Father" unfolds step by step, there is a sense of suffocation struggling and twisted in contradictions. They despised the detective and his gang who wanted to quickly end the incident, using sleazy means of beating and intimidation, but for Jerry B. The grievances and grievances of Kang Neng and his gang are heartbroken. In this film, we have seen social injustice, racial discrimination, corruption of rights and institutions, the sorrow of human nature and so on. But the most shocking feeling left in my heart, I think, is the effect of its tragic power.

A boy can only truly understand his father's love and important power after he loses his father's protection; only when he hurts the person he loves the most, does he begin to regret the unimaginably serious consequences of rebellion; At the time of the light, the body betrayed the soul, resulting in an unjust death and permanent regret for the family...

However, it is precisely because of these imperfect coincidences that these incomplete things are put together to make Jerry. Kang Neng transformed from an ignorant boy into a stoic and daring man, and experienced his father's deep love and expectation in the suffering, and found the strength in his soul. But what he paid was the painful price of decades of youth. Life always chooses our precious life in the cruelest way, and it will never come again, which adds to the intriguing entanglement. The bloody reality of life makes people feel more deeply about the single program of life time. There is no more, no less, but just such a kind of incomplete regret.

I have always liked watching tragedies, the more tragic the better, but I can't pretend to be hypocritical. It's not that I have a different mentality, but I just feel that in reality, it is difficult for perfect things to exist, and the shock of tragedy is even more touching. Enjoy the process of the flow of tears and the intermingling of many psychological emotions. In the world of others, you can also shed your own tears and release laughter. In my opinion, incomplete things, suffering people, and the stories behind them are like mysterious signs from the other side, tempting you to sink into the abyss of those involved. Under the self-stimulation, there are fluctuations of joys and sorrows, and under the boiling blood, the heart of compassion will make people unable to breathe and think meaningfully for a long time between urgency. This is the more charming synonym of Venus with the broken arm. Because of the incompleteness of the broken arm, one can imagine the charm of countless hands.

For ordinary movies and TV dramas, the endings are almost all guessable - "evil will be rewarded with evil, good will be rewarded with good", especially in Chinese movies and TV dramas, it seems that there must be a happy and great consummation to be positive in line with "people-oriented" "The Circular of National Conditions. And the note at the end of the film, "After the investigation, no police officer has finally taken responsibility for this unjust case", this kind of black humor is more imaginative than the ending of thousands of Chinese reunions and evil retribution. The unexpected turn of the pen left people with even greater shock.

Indeed, incomplete, is a sad beauty!
