[Key plot revealed] The absurdity of life

Mitchell 2022-01-25 08:03:52


Halfway through the movie of The Town , I thought that Xiaoben wanted to express the martial arts principle of "people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can’t help themselves". The slogan of "Who can not get a knife", until the end, I dullly thought: Oh, is it the proposition of "escape from this shit-like life".

Brother
Tao is the soul of the four-member group. He takes the best job in the town. There are loyal brothers who go to jail for him, and the infatuated sisters who have brothers are willing to solve their physical needs "for him". ...I mean if Brother Dao is willing, he is simply a winner in life! But, you see, nothing makes him happy. Until he sees the flower sister in the bank, just like the first ray of sunshine he sees when he opens his eyes, Brother Dao decides to take her to elope... If the plot goes on like this, It's a bloody romance drama. Fortunately, his prison dad and "running away" mother, as well as the master gardener, are inserted in the movie. Thus, everything has a reasonable explanation. In the prison, Brother Dao felt like seeing his father for the last time, and couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you find my mother?" The old man replied sternly, "Your mother just didn't learn well from those young on the street. She is not worthy of being a little bitch who specializes in messing with hooligans.” Just like an angry accusation against the town, this old man who never admits defeat, a true man with a good reputation in the industry, has no ability to change the status quo of life. His life is the epitome of countless the towners, chaos, growing old with (passing through inception!!!). When did Brother Dao’s boredom begin? Maybe it started from his violent brother, maybe it started from seeing sister Hua crying at the blood stains on the white clothes, maybe it started from his father turning weak and slamming the door, but I’d rather believe that it was from that The little boy started posting missing persons from street to street.

Sister Hua & Grandpa Hua
Does Brother Dao love sister Hua? ? ? What do you say? Brother Dao is not a pure master. He is smart enough, bold enough, but not ruthless enough. The worst thing is that he still has a spirit of cleanliness, he believes in the rules, I am a bank rob, I don't kill. In the town, no one is truly innocent, but he drew a line for himself and prayed not to overstep the rules. However, his violent brother always broke the rules in front of him, and the flower shop duo relied on the old sellers and their fingers. "Who the hell do you think you are, what do I want to do", this sentence Brother Dao said to his brother, "I don't want to share a happy 3P with you and your old drug-riding girl (by mistake); The gardener once said that the gardener immediately moved out of the set of dealing with his father, "Small, your father would fly when his wings were hard. As a result, your mother was turned into a poisonous insect by us and could only hang herself. Your father can't bear it, so you little idiot is still looking everywhere... I heard that you are going to see that sister Hua now, I know where she lives, so you behave, what I want you to do, you just... …"Please, Master Gardener, you are telling this to a control freak who is mentally clean, you are not looking for death! Never mention his mother in front of the underworld boy, even if he did not have an attack on the spot, be more careful, you are just leaving death. It's getting closer. Before the last ticket left, the gardener said to the four, "I can see your father's shadow on your faces... It's like taking the Boston Church, with immense merit." , I thought I was the godfather. Silly old man, I don’t know if the world has changed, and the natural law of survival of the fittest applies everywhere. Digressing and dragging back, such a group of people messing up, prompting sister Hua to become a life-changing projection in Brother Dao’s heart Wu, protecting sister Hua is protecting the hope of escaping to heaven (protecting his sacrificed mother in a disguised form???). Therefore, he has to embrace this little hope, saying goodbye to the past, and taking drugs Brothers and sisters say goodbye (From this, we can also see that Brother Dao’s another kind of ruthlessness, isn’t this girl more like your dead drug-taking mother? You should not pity her? But he understands that if you bring this girl , Is to carry the shadow of the past, and will never escape). If you want to go, you must go on the road cleanly, byebye the town!

Brother
There will always be such a brother in every gang who covers you when he was young, treats you like a relative, and loyal like the second dog next door, but he doesn't understand you. Coughlin has always belonged to the town. He is not that smart and doesn't think about changing his life. Because this chaotic situation fits his mind, he is in the family business with his best brother, and his sister can be counted as a support ( Although I don't care much), on the whole, everything is fine, until Brother Dao asks to leave. This "everything is fine" life, if there is no Brother Dao, he is very panic, and even hesitate to move out of the old past and save his own girl. [I know it sounds very basic, but my brother's magical horse is to sprinkle dog blood! 】He may not understand why Brother Dao insisted on leaving, but the brother is a brother after all, "Let’s see you in Florida." "I’ll wait for you to come back." In the end, the brother will always be reliable. ! ~\(≧▽≦)/~【The good part of this run==
Finally, before Cofferin died, I picked up the Coke that was thrown away by others next to me and took a few sips. I have a sour, living image, the same outside and inside, no matter what I live. Die, always follow through.

The town
finally talked about the big boss! ! ! No matter how capable you are, this black hole town will suck you up completely. For most people here, life is the person of town, and death is the ghost of town. Even if he was as lucky as Brother Dao, and finally escaped, it must have been a big explosion of character, peeling off several layers of skin, and paying the price of blood. Who is the godfather, the town is! ~\(≧▽≦)/~ A


few more words separately:
I saw two groups of scenes with children. Once, Brother Dao was watching his father’s prison. There was a little girl(?) leaning on the door, twisting her hands. Go; another time more deliberately, four people wore nun masks to robbery, and a little boy on the side of the road looked at them through the car window. This is the next generation of the town, and the normal state of life is cyclical and repeated. For some reason, when I look at it, my mind is full of "the absurdity of life". Including the policeman who turned his face silently after seeing them, the embarrassment of survival is not easy, and wanted to laugh.

Oh, and there are two people behind the policeman's codeword about "brilliant today, someone will suffer." I'm so happy that Sister Hua can say it. Before, Brother Dao knew that what Sister Hua said might be caused by the difficulties of the police nearby, but it was only possible and not certain. No, as soon as the code word came out, Dao's expression immediately brightened~\(≧▽≦)/~

go f**k yourself's little note ❤

Dad Dad said to him: "I'll see you again, this "Side or the other" is the same as Dao and Hua said at the end.

The locals in the police duo are "traitors", even if they are punishing the good and eliminating the evil, this can't be changed.

The Town quotes

  • Fergus 'Fergie' Colm: Cash is brought out and stacked fifteen minutes before the van does the pick up. That is when you hit. On Monday morning, before game stands in New York, sixty thousand beers, food, merchandise. Total call; three and a half million. Taking down the cathedral of Boston? Priceless.

  • [as Doug, Dez, Coughlin, and Gloansy have a small gathering, Frawley and Dino take photos of them from their car with a long-range camera]

    Dino Ciampa: [voice-over] Desmond Elden. Systems tech at Vericom. 22 years old.

    [Cuts to Frawley and Dino briefing their agents. They bring up Gloansy's images on the projector]

    Dino Ciampa: Albert Magloan. Only in Boston is a guy named "Albert Magloan".

    FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: Mr. Magloan never met a car he couldn't boost. The kind of talented individual who can start your Cherokee for you while you're still looking for your keys.

    [as he says that, a black-and-white flashback is shown of Gloansy breaking into a car. Coughlin's mugshot comes up on the projector]

    Dino Ciampa: James Coughlin. Father was killed in prison. Mother died HIV. Shot Brendan Leahey by the cemetery behind Mishawum when he was eighteen years old. Bled it out. When the judge asked him why he did it, he said, "I didn't like the kid." Served nine years for manslaughter.

    FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: These guys plan and execute with sophistication and discipline, and that is not our boy Coughlin.

    [produces photos of Doug]

    FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: We think the architect is this guy: Coughlin's best friend, Doug MacRay.

    Dino Ciampa: He lives in the same house, dated Coughlin's sister, who most likely mules to the Florist, who used to employ MacRay's father. You need a fucking venn diagram for these people.

    [Stifled chuckles come from the agents]

    FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: Mac, Senior got life for the Nashwood job which most of you should remember. Hijacked a bread truck up to New Hampshire. One guard saw his face, so, they executed both of them with their own weapons. I think Mac's legacy is now no A-car driver's allowed to leave the cab, even if there's a gun to his partner's head.

    Dino Ciampa: Young MacRay did eight months easy for going over the counter of a Bay Bank with a nail gun after he washed out from pro hockey.

    Agent Quinlan: Pro hockey?

    Dino Ciampa: Yeah. He was a big deal for a minute. Got drafted, went to camp but here's the shocker: he started makin' trouble, fightin' with guys.

    Agent Quinlan: Don't they pay you to fight in hockey?

    Dino Ciampa: Not the guys on your own team.

    [the other FBI agents laugh]

    FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: MacRay came home. Got into the family business. Same song: got into Oxycon. Hockey ship sailed with the narcotics. Now, we're a long way away from a grand jury here. And we'll never get 24 hour surveillance unless one of these idiots converts to Islam. So we build the case. All right, let's get to work.
