Good idea, but the plot is bullshit

From the perspective of the plot setting, the male protagonist is a big hero. It turned out to be a cruel organ recycling person, but since he has an artificial heart, he can't bear to kill. Without a source of income, it also entered the ranks of the recyclers and became the weak. So in order to avoid being killed, he was "forced" to break into the headquarters, and after a series of cool dances with guns and knives, killed a bunch of people, etc., he successfully released his organ records...end of story

But...please Let's think about it, although the male protagonist turned against the organ company in the later stage, he is not the embodiment of justice at all. After the artificial heart was replaced, he "couldn't bear" to kill again, but how many people did he kill when he broke into the company? Most of these people are employees of organ companies, and they are not bad people. Under the cover of cool fighting actions and sound effects, we instinctively feel that the male protagonist is a hero, and it is good to have one enemy and ten! ! !

Besides, the male protagonist broke into the company headquarters, not to save mankind, save all those whose organs have expired, but to eliminate the organ records of himself and the mistress, what other people love to him! ! !

In conclusion, the male protagonist is just a villain who wants to change the whole rules of the game for his own life, does not hesitate to sacrifice his life, just for his own selfish interests

    Although the story is not bad, it is much more positive than "Genetics Opera" in every aspect; the latter part of Jude and the heroine digging each other's organs is really funny and beautiful; I really like Forest Whitaker's performance in it, although about this I really don't understand the idea of ​​the characters. The soundtrack is more interesting, the ending is unexpected but I don't like it.

    I really thought he was only two stars at the end, and the ending really surprised me. I felt pain when I watched this movie, and it was so painful when I had the surgery. . . The visual and feel effect is completely comparable to a chainsaw.

Repo Men quotes

  • [first lines]

    Remy: I remember reading about a scientist. He had a thing for cats and boxes. What he'd do is take a cat and lock it in a box. And then, just to make things interesting, he'd also put this machine in there that released poison gas. Now, the scientist didn't actually know when the machine would release the poison and when it wouldn't. The only way he could tell for sure was to look inside the box. Here's the science bit. Until he opened it up, he figured the cat had to be alive and dead. See, if either one was possible, then both had to be possible, too. Ever since I read about that cat, I can't get the story out of my head. Don't get me wrong, I don't give a fuck about the plight of small, furry animals. I just don't understand. How can anything be alive and dead at the same time?
