Nothing to do with the killer

You could say it's a killer movie, but given his low cost, near-zero shootouts, and the fact that the killer just wasn't cool enough or legendary enough, I couldn't take that seriously. Or, maybe it's a nonsense idiot killer adventure? No, obviously, John Dahl, the famous low-cost controller in Hollywood, looks down on the fake low-cost model of Tarantino. The elegant and cold humor, the life stories with unique ideas, and the seriousness and subtlety of the characters are the main styles of independent productions on the theme of life in Hollywood today.

As someone with a history of alcoholism, I'm amazed that the movie "You Kill Me" exactly describes the life of an average alcoholic. In terms of motivation, alcoholics are divided into two types, one is forced by life, and the other is personal preference. If you have to look at alcoholics as problematic individuals, then the two types of alcoholics have different problems. Is our male protagonist a person who is forced by life to drink alcohol, or a person who affects his life and relationships because of his natural liking for alcohol? Obviously, he is the second. Many other stories are always keen to complicate the matter of alcoholism, and entangle a lot of things that have nothing to do with alcohol, such as the dullness of family life, the emptiness of the heart, the helplessness in the face of fate, yes. Orgy obsession without realizing the simple fact that there are two types of alcoholics. As an ordinary simple character who just likes to drink and drink, both I and the hero in the story are very tired of people making simple things more complicated.

In my opinion, this is a movie about ordinary alcoholics, not a killer. The identity of the killer is actually just a little black humor, it poignantly mocks the men and women in the AA who are putting the cart before the horse, they are already sober before drinking, so the AA is not the place for them to come. . A bad life forces them to drink, and drinking makes their lives worse, and they choose to ignore the first link in the chain, blaming the middle link for the problem. Therefore, the real alcoholic is only one of our male protagonists.

At this point, we have to thank this story for restoring the true nature of alcoholism. In this indifferent, fresh film, we can calmly think about the simple things in life. The more the director emphasizes the identity of the hero killer, the more we can look at the nature of the problem with a little humor.

"I drink, I kill, of course, I don't kill because I'm drunk. Drinking is my hobby, killing is my job. That's my life. But now, the hobby affects my job, and I have to Look at this life again."

If the "killing" in these lines is changed to "driving a taxi", "being a civil servant", or "speculating stocks", it is not impossible. The reason why it has to be expressed as murder is to tell you that even if it is murder, life is such a simple thing. As for whether the heart is empty or not, whether the family is warm or not, we should die a little further away. Even if you really need love in your heart, you are lonely, so just find a woman, that's all.
