"The Killer Is Not Too Cold" has made a little innovation in breaking through the nest. As a "killer" film, there are not many scenes depicting the superb martial arts of the killers, and this is an impossible trump card to attract audiences in ordinary movies.
Still, the film is captivating, and from the very beginning, Colin Farrell's bewildered, sad and desperate expression draws you into his backstory. The different interests of the two killers, the old and the young, in the medieval architecture of Bruges add extra tension and connotation to the film. So far, it seems that it is all the debates and discussions about Bruges itself that the young artists or tourists are keen on. The gloomy atmosphere and medieval architecture allow you to understand the beauty and depression of Bruges at the same time.
As the story unfolds, the final conflict finally comes. The old killer was ordered to kill the young killer because the young killer had mistakenly killed a child, but the old killer was reluctant to accept the order because he could see the young killer's heart Having hated this for life, is he going to fight the boss, or kill the young killer who made a mistake?
The most tangled storyline is always like this, you can't tell who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, all three have a sense of justice (although they are killers), maybe it is this paradox of the thief and the truth itself in the end. always lead to tragedy.
In a situation like this, the sympathetic Colin Farrell would obviously be on the positive side of the majority, although there is little justice for him to shoot a child. And the killer boss, who was bent on working by principle to kill the killer who made the unforgivable mistake, could easily be seen simply as the villain.
The story culminates in the suicide of the killer boss, who is chasing down Colin Farrell when a bullet goes through Farrell's body and blows a dwarf's head off. Without hesitation, he swallowed a gun and committed suicide in accordance with the principle that he could not kill children.
All three killers are dead. Makes people feel lost and thoughtful.
The many coincidences of dark humor allow us to make countless subversive hypotheses about the development of the film's plot, and if Pharrell hadn't hit the Canadian, he'd just gone by train. . . If he hadn't chatted with the little dwarf, the little dwarf wouldn't have come to help him and he wouldn't have been headshot. . .
There is no book without coincidence, and there is no movie without coincidence. However, the coincidences of some movies are the kind of coincidences where the mountains and rivers have nowhere to go, and there are still dark flowers and bright flowers. It seems that the director has to make special coincidences in order to continue the plot. And this movie tells a lot of bland stories, and it is these bland things that have developed along the way and become very strange results.
Is there any coincidence? Can accidental mistakes be undone? As the movie wraps up, we still don't have an answer.
