Recalling the plot of a movie seems to be a bit more difficult than recalling the plot of a novel, but I believe that repeated recall is a way of reading and understanding.

It seems ridiculous to talk about the morality of the protagonist of a movie, perhaps because there is nothing easier than shaping the morality on the screen. But we cannot say that the Coen brothers’ films do not involve moral factors at all. Rather, morality and violence have been distorted. They have not been blatantly promoted or degraded, but have been turned back to human nature, ridiculous, mysterious, Exaggeration, mixed under the concept of morality. If this is not universal human nature, then perhaps the mentally ill have transformed morality and violence.

There are lunatics who ride a motorcycle and don't know where they are coming from and where they are going. They bring injuries wherever they can. It is not necessarily greedy to find children at high prices, but just for evil itself.
No matter where they robbed, the robbers either met someone who lay down obediently, or met a neurosis who laughed and shot back.
The fugitives said to him that you are still so young and so healthy. Why do you want to go to work? We should rob and rob until we retire or get caught.

But these scumbags were all moved by the smile of a baby. What surprised me was the furniture tycoon who values ​​the tidiness of clothes and desks, always keeps advertising, but he is unusually gentle and reasonable. Even when his son is missing and perverted into the office to negotiate, he is still sensible. Argument and judgment.

Funny, miserable, evil in the name of nature, abnormal behavior, but never leave the warmth of "family" and "love".

    Haha, it's really uncomfortable to have a criminal record in the United States. Cohen's films always have neurotic little characters: the game of asking Cage to change his wife. It really made me laugh too. The film is unique, a very light-hearted Cohen film

    The director is a little childish, the production is rough, and there are a lot of scenes, but the opening is amazing, the narrative is smooth, the characters are full, the lines are funny, the shots are smooth, the transitions are sharp, the rhythm is awesome, and it is full of black humor. As soon as the subtitles came out, they were the Coen brothers!
