Butcher

The content of the film is rich, but not explained clearly. The director places the characters' grievances and grievances in the context of the American Civil War and seems to want to illustrate the change process of the protagonist from entangled in personal hatred to petitioning for the people (justice for the slain elected congressman), but the film does not show it clearly, making people feel I feel that the protagonist is obsessed with hatred, and the previous assassination also cast a shadow on the characters that he is not an upright person. On the contrary, the butcher who killed the protagonist's opponent, although ferocious, dared to act, he was quite accurate under the performance of actor Louis, and the character was quite powerful.
I have always disliked people who have hatred in their hearts, nor do I like people with a ruthless nature. I can understand the hatred of the protagonist (the murder of the father), but I cannot understand the murderousness of the butcher. Throughout the movie, I've been looking for the reason why the butcher became the butcher, but couldn't find it. This figure seems to have become a kite with a broken string, and has been floating in the sky, and his stringer cannot be seen.
After watching the movie, it can be said that I was a little disappointed. But some things seem to have no reason, or are created by the environment, they are born that way, we have seen movies, and that's fine.

    There are some times you finally realize the world is not good, the world is not bad. It's only you are old. The end is abrupt

    Martin's sociology film transforms history film is not satisfactory. Obviously, the historical information and the historical narrative of New York City weakened the shaping of the role. Ambitious enough, but too greedy. Love stories are somewhat clichéd. Of course Martin’s New York gangster than Ridley’s American gangster has four stars, but obviously I still prefer this one.
