Dead man's shoes

To put it simply, this is a story of revenge. The two brothers were bullied and the elder brother avenged him. At the beginning, it was the simple style of handheld camera, and then brought a lot of noise to prevent it from the effect of the old-fashioned camera in the 1980s. The voice-over is a guitar song. In that era of many dreams and longings, the guitar can interpret the minds of young people better than the violin and piano. The environment is set in the suburbs of London, and the language is a rural version of the London accent, just like Mandarin heard in the suburbs of Beijing.
The picture is not beautiful, but it is a combination of movement and stillness, and the actual parts are very direct. It tends to be representational, and it inserts beautiful scenery and long music between violence and excessive violence. On the one hand to ease the mood, on the other hand to adjust the rhythm of the film. Everything that expresses the scenery is beautiful. Like photography, it is hard to believe that there is also a drug trade in such a beautiful place. The dialogue part is how the scumbags said, anyway, they are all scumbags, those crude things are all of their lives. Films of this kind that are mixed with sex and violence cannot be released in China, and the SARFT is more sharp.
The narrative has two lines, one is bright and the other is dark, one is now and the other is the past. The present is the result of the past and the reason is the past. The reality is that the normal color used to be black and white, and the present is the normal sound and some reverberation in the past. The reason for this tragedy is actually too much. If it is not so desperate, it may not be so fatal. Perhaps death is a kind of liberation. To be precise, termination is a kind of liberation. People always have to pay for their actions. It's just a matter of time and extent. The Avenger fell before his last enemy. The greatest pain was not to put people to death. Let him endure the censure and suffering of all the souls. In the trance and dazedness, he seemed to hear the call of the Holy Spirit of the church. That is the real pain. .

    I like films with this kind of narrative. It would be great if there are more domestic films of this style.

    Some poetic and melancholy British revenge films, the mentally handicapped younger brother is tortured to death by several drug dealers, and the older brother who returns from the army avenges his younger brother.
