The killing mission was completed, and the boss ordered the two to "grab the grass" as tourists in Bruges for two weeks; Bruges with strong medieval colors has always been known as the Venice of the North. The words of the killer's leader are "a fucking fairytale", but the middle-aged partner was ordered to execute the protagonist of the manslaughter of the child in the fairy tale fairyland. Strange like the composition of an Eastern European fairy tale - the surreal quaint urban and rural areas, the violence behind the serenity is waiting for an opportunity to emerge, and the undercurrent in the harmony is so eerie that it makes people tremble.
The compact script creates a strong contrast, the apparent peace is parallel to the tension gradually formed in the middle of the game; the two completely different rhythms are coordinated like the main melody and the accompaniment, but the peace on the screen is actually the accompaniment, hidden Murder is the main theme. The ingenious layout design and thought combined with the unique personal style of director Martin McDonagh - rough and vulgar words and strong Irish flavor combined with the black and dark sense of this family and the provocation of symbols, created the unique film language of the film.
I can't change my bad habits while watching a movie. I always pay attention to all kinds of props and lines that appear in a short time, and guess when these hidden lines will appear in what way; an almost obsess reasoning game If you meet a director who likes to play with symbols, it will be even worse. Fortunately, playing fun is not the same as playing funeral games. The props seen on the screen and the meanings of the characters of various races are just right. The audience's brain is stuck in traffic, and they don't deliberately play for the sake of playing to be offensive.
For example, the paper in the hands of the little boy who was killed by mistake brings out the atmosphere of the whole film—— 1. Being moody 2. Being bad at Maths (bad at calculation?!) 3. Being sad is very suitable for the suspense created by this film . In the last scene, the guilt of the protagonist is resolved through the plot of the killer leader who accidentally kills the midget. The message "you gotta stick to your own principle" makes the movie not limited to violence, but an extremely stylish finishing trick. .
Dialogue Witty, the fast-paced In Bruges story develops a surprising twist; even if it doesn't love violence, Bruges is just as beautiful as it is worth watching.
*Interesting stats from Imdb:
In Bruges is 107 minutes long with dialogue -
Fuck - at least 130
Cunt - 11
Shit - At least 25
There is a large amount of milder profanities and obscenities as well throughout.
