he must die

He's gotta die - Ray was fidgety
the first time I watched Killer No Vacation , he didn't want a vacation.

Bruges is a shithole, he said. In fact, this is understandable, because he is a killer, a killer who has killed people, a killer who accidentally killed innocent boys. If he were a "qualified" killer, the following story would not exist, thankfully he is not! His heart is full of torment from that moment, because his conscience is still there, he is repenting every moment, he wants to be redeemed...

Ken is a tragic character. When he was young, his beloved black wife was killed by a racist white man. Harry helped him find the culprit and avenge his wife. Since then, he has also embarked on the road of murder. He loves to travel, so he dragged Ray to accompany him to the streets and streets of Bruges. However, the trip wasn't his vacation either, because he had more important things to do, waiting for Harry's order - kill Ray. However, how could such a person who loves life be a qualified killer!
In a corner of the park, he took the gun and installed the silencer, and approached Ray from behind (I knew something was going to happen, but I didn't expect it to happen). Just as he was about to shoot, Ray also picked up the female pistol and pointed it to his head. Ken's heart was completely conquered at once. He knew Ray very well along the way. He was always in conflict. At this moment, the conflict was resolved: Ray should live! Ken yelled, Ray! This sound scared Ray! Under Ken's persuasion, Ray gave up death. Stepping on a train that was heading for nowhere, in order to avoid Harry's pursuit.

Harry is a very principled English gentleman, he has his own moral principles - one can't kill a child and still want to get rid of everything; if it is himself, he will kill himself. As a result, he abandoned his wife and children and came to Bruges, Belgium from England, to defend the principle of the killer. By the way, he is a very cock (chicken woman) person, his level of chicken woman is no less than that of Tang Seng, even Ken can't stand him, saying he is a sissy.

When Harry got to Bruges, everyone thought Ray had left. However, the most incredible thing in the whole story happened. Earlier in a restaurant in Bruges, Ray had hit a Canadian and a woman "in self-defense". Because of the accusations of the two, the whole train miraculously stopped in the middle of the journey... Maybe it even went backwards! Finally, the three "not too cold" killers are about to meet!

The most tragic scene happened on the tower of the "must-see" for tourists in Bruges. Standing on the top of the tower, you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire Bruges, the beauty of the small town, and a panoramic view. Ken and Harry decided to put things to rest next time. Tired of being a killer, Ken took out his pistol and adopted a "non-violent, non-cooperative" strategy. Harry got angry and shot Ken in the leg. After the two had calmed down, Harry helped Ken come down from the top of the tower (it couldn't have ended there). The good guy "blind boy" came here to tell Harry that Ray was under the tower. When Harry heard this, he wanted to kill him, but Ken held onto him tightly. During the argument, you came and went, the gun went off, and the bullet went into the side of Ken's neck, blood spattering everywhere. Ken made a last-ditch effort and climbed to the top of the tower again ¬—"Blood and scattered everywhere", intending to inform Ray at the bottom of the tower. There is only one way. It goes without saying that in order to hurt his innocence, he scatters coins first to divert passers-by. The people are magnificent, and the things are sad!

Chased by Harry, Ray managed to escape back to the inn unscathed and find his lady's pistol. The female boss, who was pregnant with Liujia, showed a fearless revolutionary spirit. Facing the gun-wielding "gangster", her face did not change her face and her heart did not beat. She justly wanted to scold Harry out. Down the stairs. The gentlemen compromised. Ray, who jumped on the boat, didn't escape Harry's bullet, and was worthy of being a killer. I don't understand, Ray, why don't you get down on the ground, doesn't that detract from the gentleman's demeanor?
After landing, the blood-drenched Ray walked into the location where the American dwarf was filming... The fateful thing happened again. Harry used dumdums (headshots) when he shot Ray, but he didn't have to. The little dwarf was killed by an innocent mistake, and his head was blown... Harry, who finally "understood" the matter, chose to stick to his own principles, and he committed suicide. In fact, he misunderstood, according to the principle of killer, killing a child is to die, and the little dwarf has been an adult for nearly 20 years! Ray, who was shot several times, did not die immediately, he wanted to live, he wanted to be redeemed...


From the beginning to the end, no one could be seen as a killer, everyone seemed to be a model of morality, maybe it was the complexity of human beings! However, a killer who killed a priest for money and a child by mistake, how could he not die? Some people say: "What effect does he have on things when he is dead? Anyway, he is dead. Besides, wouldn't it be better to let him live and do something to make up for it?" If I kill someone, I repent, I do something to make up for it, and this is over, so why don't this world mess up!
Heaven does evil, and there is something to be done; man does evil, and cannot live. He must die!

This incident is only in the shadows, and it is rare to hear it in the world...


PS: When I saw that Ray shot the priest and killed the little boy by mistake, there was a very BT thought that kept lingering in my heart: it was the priest. Indirectly killed the little boy. Face-to-face distance, running away is of no use at all, "I don't go to hell, who goes to hell".
The same is true for Harry killing Ray at the end. In fact, people who should have died a long time ago have to drill into the crowd, swords and guns have no eyes! So, firmer on my principle - he must die!

    Hearing the news that Ray was in the square, Harry ran down the clock tower with a gun, but Ken, who was injured, climbed to the top of the building desperately. He sprinkled a bag of coins and stared at all beings and Bruges, the middle-aged water city, like a god. He had seen the anxiety of the Lei Yue girl who looked in the mirror before, and the depression of her head down and guilt and suicide. Ken has killed many people, never afraid of death, just afraid of dying meaninglessly. This time was his most meaningful murder, but the dead was himself.

    It should be the story of John To, obviously inspired by gunfire and exile. The film is good, but it can be made more delicious and beautiful, but it is a pity that Colin Farrell and his dispensable love scenes dragged the film.
