First, the theme. Let me explain the theme first. This film is a simple interpretation of violence, a whirlpool phenomenon of violence against violence and its journey. The background is in the western region of the United States in 1980. The so-called rules and laws were very weak, so weak that they could not
compete with violence, drugs, guns, etc. Therefore, the speaking of the powerful and the rich was the biggest feature of that era. The elderly who have lived in the ages to today can no longer understand this bizarre and violent world. Many things are also incapable of them. They can only watch things happen as weakly as those laws. The world has no place for them to feel that they are appropriate. . So I just clicked on the topic: Nothing to rely on for the old. The most expressive theme is the seemingly plain old police officer TOM. His ancestors have been sergeants for generations. He is also a sergeant who is about to retire, but his pure justice makes him want to continue to contribute to this society, and he has made a lot of efforts. Later, I found that I couldn’t accomplish this mission, so at the end of the film, he retired at home, and then dreamed of accomplishing his father’s thing, which was a wish, but it was just a state that could never be achieved, so he "woke up from the dream." It was his deepest helplessness.
Second, the main story line. The main line is that a man named moss accidentally found the remaining place where the gang rushed, found the money and drugs left behind after losing both sides, and took the money for a while, so he became the target of being hunted down. The gang sent a killer called anton. This killer is absolutely bt. See the details later, and then fight bravely. Finally, Anton killed the boss because the boss sent others to intervene in his art of killing. Moss was traded in drugs. Another group of Mexicans were killed, and the money finally fell into Anton's hands. The story is over.
Does it feel simple? But you have to sort out who killed the moss, the final whereabouts of the money and the meaning of the old sheriff's existence is very difficult to think about. First of all, I speculate that moss was killed by the Mexican: Moss's conversation with the woman by the pool shows that he has been there for a few days, and then Moss’s mother-in-law revealed his whereabouts to the Mexicans, and finally the TOM police When they grew up, a few Mexicans escaped, and then the moss fell at the door, so the moss was killed like this. Secondly, let’s talk about the whereabouts of the money: the film revolves around the movement of the money. At the end of the film, the TOM Sheriff’s inspiration came back to the scene where the moss was killed again. Anton was indeed in the house at that time, and then waited for TOM to push it. When the door went in, the building was empty. A close-up of the fence and coins on the ground. This reminds me that when the moss stayed in the hotel, he put the money in the vent pipe, and then the anton used the coin to unload the vent pipe. It is speculated that the money of moss was not taken by the Mexicans, but that Anton came to this place and took the money. At the end of the film, Anton gave money to the boy and bought boy clothes after moss was injured. This is similar. The scene also tells the audience that the money is in Anton's hands. Director Coen brothers are very good indeed engaged in black humor, we get confused, jumping and shooting style is very, slow boring in some places to sleep, such as the beginning of the plot forward, but it
is something instantaneous and carried out Dialogue is the most critical place. For example, the gunfight where the moss who was fighting with the killer died was jumped directly and the moss fell in front of the door, so watching this movie can’t fast forward and can only follow the director. The pace is advancing.
Next, let’s talk about the winner of this year’s Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, it’s JaVale Barton who played anton in this film. His acting skills are superb, so I didn’t figure out who the protagonist is. == This bt killer has a funny sister on his head. But with a serious and cold face, he carried the air compressor
The unique killing tool chases and kills the protagonist, a guilt-free but "principled" killer. As long as he is happy that the so-called gangster companion or boss is the target of his killing, his neurological way of thinking makes him do many extraordinary things. Behavior, such as letting the person he wants to kill guess the coin and decide life or death, or go to the pharmacy to get medicine and self-treatment after being injured, or the description of very cleanliness, let me guess that this person is a killing machine with a serious mental problem, but hunts and kills The moss process is very cautious. When he killed moss wife after moss died, moss wife said that since he didn't get the money, you don't have to kill me at all. He said it was unnecessary, but it was a principle, because he let moss choose to die by himself. His wife's life, or he flees to kill his wife moss. Of course, as a normal person, moss has no reason to send him to the door
for Anton to kill. Moss wants to give money to his wife and find a chance to kill Anton, so Anton thinks that Moss chose to let him kill Moss wife, and finally he let Moss wife play. Guessing the coin, but the woman said that I did not decide the front and back of the coin, but the key is your decision, so you can guess that although the previous scenes of guessing the coin did not explain whether they killed people, they were just the director’s naughty performance before Anton killed people. The state of the cat playing with the mouse. The moss wife must be dead, because anton out the door and looked after your own shoes, this detail was cleaning his
addiction manifestation, because he did not want stained with blood, before he killed several Mexicans have time to explain.
Finally, talk about the director's black humor. The so-called black humor, in my understanding, is the irony that makes people unable to laugh. Even if it feels funny, there is a hint of coolness behind it. It is a plot of sarcasm and drama, just like some people called "Crazy Stone" as black humor. I always feel inappropriate
when. So how do you express black humor? For example, the death of moss is very black and humorous. He did not die when he competed with killers like Anton, but died at the end. Those Mexicans who did not know the so-called were injured, such as the last car accident of Anton. The child said: Your bones came out.
A killer like Anton will also encounter a car accident... It’s really ironic. These two scenes echo the story of the butcher who was injured by the bullet reflected when he killed a cow when the butcher was killed by a cow. It means no matter how much For opponents with great power disparity, unexpected results will always happen
. Then there is a contest between moss and anton, there is always a meticulous arrangement like 007 to chase and kill, but there is always a mentally retarded state that destroys the overall situation. This is also the director’s black humor, a kind of The state of fooling. This is just a personal understanding, but in
any case, black humor is not funny, it is definitely not black humor that makes people laugh.
However, the beauty of this film lies in the confusing and confusing layout of the director at the end, which makes you understand, but it seems that some do not understand. The vague explanations have created room for thinking.
