I will never understand your tenderness

I am a boss, this city listens to me, the mayor and police chief are just my two dogs, my name is Li Ang.

I have a buddy Tommy. This guy is very down and out. He owes his gambling debts and can't pay off. He is often beaten up by someone sent by his creditors. This is because I show mercy on my face. But this guy has to put on a high and stinky air at all times, as if he doesn't care about anything. He refused to pay his debts for him. He didn't even have a good face when he talked to me. He put himself and the other people around me clearly, as if it was a shame to be my buddy. Even though this person has a lot of stinky problems, I am willing to put down the boss's air and coax him a little bit. After all, he is not my subordinate, but a buddy, a person I can trust. I believe he really thinks about me.

I have been having trouble recently. I like a woman, a young woman, her name is Fona. I don't know how she would find me, an old man, but I'm a little bit stuck. Actually, I'm an old-school person, and I'm even thinking about making a marriage proposal. Ferna has a slanderous and unruly brother Bernie, who broke the rules of the road and provokes a gang leader, Casper, who directly finds me to kill him. Since it is my woman's brother, since I am the boss, I will cover him and take care of who the opponent is. Casper was very upset.

Tommy is really not friends enough to say good things to listen to. He puts on a stinky face every day. When he sees me, he keeps chattering that I shouldn’t protect Bernie or provoke Casper. He’s a dangerous man. Will threaten my position so and so. Does he think he is my father? This girl also said bad things about Ferna, saying that this woman is untrustworthy, and it is really annoying to open which pot or not to mention which pot. At first I listened patiently and put on a smiling face to him, but it was really annoying for a long time. Tommy became incomprehensible and started to do something behind my back. In order to make me believe that Verna was unreliable, he even told me about his sex with Verna. Damn, I was angry, beat him a lot and kicked him out, and killed him if I saw him again.

In the days that followed, I was still the boss of this city. Casper threatened to deal with me, so I sent the police to kick his restaurant. The funny thing was that Tommy was beaten inside when the police rushed in. I just smiled. Someone came to kill me in the middle of the night. Don’t think it’s useless for me to live such a big old man. I’m not old yet. I took out a machine gun and I went to cut their back. The four people came and killed them all. I only lost one stupid janitor, one to four. I earned it. But something went wrong in the back. One of my shops was bombed and his men were killed. The mayor and police chief wandered behind Casper’s buttocks. Casper was so proud and looked like a boss, but I Need to hide from the East to avoid hunting down. Tommy was right, I did underestimate the enemy, and Casper's strength can move me.

Next, the director told me that there was nothing to do with me later, so I just ate instant noodles and sat on the side watching them and then filming. NND, it turns out that Tommy is the protagonist.

Tommy went to take refuge in Casper, and then began to engage in a series of tricks, first secretly let Bernie get out, and then went to separate Casper and his running dog Dan. The shameless Bernie sneaked back to threaten Tommy, but was still calculated by this sinister kid. In the end, Casper killed Dan himself, and was killed by Bernie. Tommy kills Bernie, and the scene seems to be the end of Casper and Bernie rushing to death. At that time, there was no fingerprint test. Just plug the gun into the dead person's hand if you kill someone. You don't need to wear gloves or wipe your fingerprints. It's really simple. In such a busy gap, Tommy and Ferna didn't forget to go to bed, shit, the dog and the man.

Okay, the world is quiet, I don't need to hide anymore, the mayor and the chief of police have come to slap my ass and lick my toes again, and I will come back and continue to be my boss. Ferna also came back, and even offered to propose to me. I think I should forgive her.

I also think that Tommy is actually quite a friend. He doesn't care about his life, life is a mess, that's what he likes to live like that. He is a clever and cunning desperado with good luck, because he is not afraid of dying, he is very lucky, he can't die no matter what, and he has the trust of others to kill all the dogs that shouldn't be killed. It's not right to say that he doesn't care about anything. He did these things, which shows that he still cares about me. I think I should forgive him too.

At the funeral of Verna's bastard brother, Tommy came and Verna turned and left. I'm the boss, I always want to know what I want to report. I said: Thank you for everything you do. It's a beautiful job. This girl is still pretending to be cool, just saying: make do with it. I put a smile on my face and said, in fact, you can tell me everything, this girl then pretends to be cool and doesn't say anything. Okay, I lowered my posture. I was very sincere and heartbroken to say that you are important to me. Come back. We are still brothers. Tommy just said: Goodbye.

After all, I am also a boss. Although Fona drove the car away in a fit of anger, I could only walk back; although I wanted to lower my posture and invite Tommy to come back, I couldn’t put my posture too low, as low as the dust. Well, not to mention Tommy is not a girl. Once the idea is settled, he will be so stubborn that he will not be able to pull back the eight cows. It is no use for me to be low in the dust, and there are no flowers in the dust. What's more, this girl still slept with my wife. I had no choice but to straighten my face, turn around and leave, leaving the hero alone, leaning against a tree, shooting deep and hollow eyes from under the hat, freeze frame, subtitles, ending song, and the film is over.

Well, the enemy is dead, I can continue to be the boss, and marry the woman I like, although she is not chaste, the man who has a leg with her also left. What do you want from your husband? I should be satisfied.

In fact, I knew from the beginning that Tommy was right, and I didn't believe that he would really betray me to take refuge in Casper, so I never sent anyone to kill him. It’s just that I’m a boss. What the boss means is that I only do things according to my own preferences, rather than having to do everything right. Otherwise, what’s the name of the boss, it’s better to change my name to a saint. Tommy, why don’t you know to please me a little bit, or give me some face! If I want this boss to obey you all day long, I have to coax you low and low, and people will be suspicious of sexual orientation. In fact, after you went to join Casper, I still had some doubts in my heart. I can't believe that you didn't ask for a living for yourself. Until the end, I couldn't understand all your strategies. If your luck is not so good, which part of the middle is revealed. For example, Bernie didn’t kill a person and threw it in the place where he should be dead. For example, Kasparin can trust Dan, a dog that has been with him for many years, for example, he should have died. The lost Bernie was seen by Caspar’s people. You Tommy would not live until today. If you were killed like that, I would probably only believe that you really took refuge in Casper and died. Fight within the gang. You and me are not Wang Meng to Fu Jian after all.

Tommy, you are not as cold and unruly as you are on the outside, you have a lot of tenderness in your heart, but it is a pity that I will never understand your tenderness.

    nice. . It's hard to tell what it feels like. At the beginning, the atmosphere that made people look forward to it was a dark humor film. Although the ending was different from the expectation, it was really good-looking.

    The first half of the dialogue is dominated by the strong assumptions, so it feels a bit pretentious. After that, the multiple clues of the story overshadowed the assumptions; the independent film did this, and later facts also proved that the energy of the Coen brothers did not fully explode here. come out.
