Or, apart from that, we can compare before the devil knows you're dead with the same year's work "Lost Love and Sin" (Cassandra's Dream, 2007) by Alan Living; or, we can first admire 80 Sidney Lumet (1924—2011), a three-year-old veteran director, has a good old horse, but he is not old, and he is a craftsman; moreover, watching this movie is always inseparable from the two-generation hatred of generations, although From this perspective, it is too interesting for some people, but too boring for
others ... However, what you can think of by closing your eyes is the following story: Abraham Dedicated to God his beloved son Isaac, Israel’s Judge Jephthah kept his vow to God and offered his daughter, and the Greek commander Agamenmnon offered his daughter Iphigeneia (Iphigeneia) to calm the wrath of God. ), Lucius Junius Brutus, the father of the Roman Republic, ordered the execution of the two biological sons of the treason. However, the actions of Abraham, Jephthah, Agamemnon, and Brutus did not detract from their own positive evaluation, because they sacrificed the ego for the sake of a higher and greater existence (God/country). The sacred morality is above the ethical relationship, and the use of innocence to cover up the innocence is really blameless. Their trembling hands added two lines of sympathetic tears and won more applause.
The father Charlie in before the devil knows you're dead is different from them.
The fact is that there is no one in the movie that can make us sympathize. The mother, Lanni, who died in vain, can, but her death did not bring about any change. The younger son Hank is still not growing up. He is divorced and steals his sister-in-law. In the end, he has not been able to be an upright man with a bag of drugs on his back. After repairing the broken relationship with his wife, the crimes committed in the company were about to be found out. Finally, he killed someone and grabbed money.
The two brothers hated each other with their father. Father Charlie personally killed Andy, placing a sea of blood and deep hatred above ethics, without hesitation about external norms, and immediately personally broke the hatred to a climax. Such a deep hatred is rooted in the pain of bereavement. One more reason is to read what Chikkok said clearly in the "Ode to Abraham": "If there is no eternal consciousness in a person’s mind, if there is only at the bottom of everything A wild commotion, or a distorted force formed by all meaningful or meaningless things generated by dark passions. If there is an invisible and endless emptiness behind everything, then life will be in addition to despair. What is there?"
What else can there be besides despair? When we read before the devil knows you're dead, we are calling for cruelty amidst fear and trembling, and Chi Keguo’s question is still reverberating in the emptiness. If anyone feels comfort and light, oh, it’s really terrible. .
