Perhaps it's because "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" captures the social environment of free America in the Lighthouse Country, where gunfights occur every day.
Or maybe it's because the dark side here is shown in the movie.
Or maybe it's because it struck a point in many people's hearts for other reasons, so the discussion was particularly lively.
This is not a big production, but in the current social environment, especially in the beautiful country, many film critics can't help but vomit.
"In a world where sequels are sequels and sequels have become mainstream in Hollywood, "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" is undoubtedly a refreshing spring. It seems so special.
From a plot perspective, it's not that novel or innovative.
However, the social microcosm constructed in the movie is undoubtedly the pain point of this city.
Back to the movie itself.
A 40-year-old middle-aged uncle and a 12-year-old girl seemed to have nothing in common, but they walked together incompatible ways, sparking love. Everything was unexpected, but within reason.
They are just children who are severely lacking in love, regardless of age.
Leon's life is super simple and peaceful. He drinks milk, grows flowers, exercises, and coldly accepts tasks to kill people. The price is that he only dares to sleep on a chair and has a serious lack of security. He is thoughtful, but he seems to be asking for his own money back.
Like a retard.
The life of Matilda, who lives next door, seems to be noisy and messy. Family members are not united and don't care about each other. Fighting and quarreling are common. Matilda's face is often stained. In the end, her father caused the disaster of annihilation.
I was lucky enough to escape.
In fact, this is what some children from lower-income families will face.
The lighthouse of civilization also has a dark side that cannot shine, and this scene is undoubtedly vividly displayed here through a small family.
Is life always so difficult, or is it only when you are young? Answer, it is always so. For them, the world is very cold. So we eliminate the barriers and hug each other for warmth. One has sustenance in life and the other has cured the stomach problem. Life
There is warmth.
However, bad people cannot have a good ending. Once you kill someone, you are destined to pay back. Leon died and Matilda returned to school. The story is over and a new life has just begun."
Mills, a well-known Hollywood film critic, also wrote a review for this movie in his personal column. Interestingly, this person was not a publicist from Dean Films.
"I have always paid close attention to the films of Li, a miracle director from China. He is worthy of the name of miracle.
"The Killer Isn't Too Cold" was very interesting to film. The killer is not like a killer, love is not like love, the little girl is not like a little girl, the killer's agent is not like an agent, and the DEA is not like the DEA!
It makes people feel like you have black humor!
Why do you say killers don’t look like killers?
At the beginning of the film, Leon is wearing black original-frame sunglasses, a black coat, and a hat that can cover all his hair. He does not reveal any physical features. The constant use of close-ups makes it difficult to see his face clearly. When accepting the murder business
His tone is emotionless, he uses corpses to divert his attention, his shooting skills are accurate without any hesitation, and his non-sloppy scenes make people's blood boil.
The panic of the person he killed was stumbling around the room, which reflected his calmness. In the darkness, he held the opponent's neck with a knife. Only then did his face appear, still expressionless, and he quietly disappeared into the darkness.
, when he finally broke into the police station to rescue Matilda, the police described him very appropriately, "Someone broke in, and he was a professional killer. He was agile and elusive, and he killed those people in two seconds."
In fact, Leon at work fits the public's impression of a killer, cold and mysterious.
Leon was also professional, kept to himself, and did not cause trouble for himself. When his neighbor was shot, he just watched from the keyhole.
He did not want Matilda to become a killer, but he was not perfunctory when teaching Matilda the killing skills. When teaching Matilda how to use a rifle, he gave a lot of guidance, "You can't open the scope until the last moment, because
It is reflective and can be seen from a mile away, and wear dark clothing that cannot be brighter than the floor." "Keep calm, don't take your eyes off the target, relax, watch its movements, and imagine you are running with it.
Try to feel his next move, take a deep breath, prepare, and shoot." These words may seem verbose, but they actually reflect his professionalism. He is not simply teaching moves, but adding his own feelings to teach himself how to do this.
ways and means.
When he committed the murder, Leon was a professional killer, but after taking off his killer mask, he was an ordinary citizen.
He is used to buying two cartons of milk of the same brand, caring and responding to the little girl next door, taking care of plants, stooping when doing housework, wearing a white vest and white suspenders, and wearing a thin black sweater when sleeping.
Like an ordinary uncle who lives alone.
He was very kind and handed a tissue to the neighbor girl who had a nosebleed. Even though there was milk in the refrigerator, he still agreed with the girl to bring him milk. He was unwilling to refuse a girl's small kindness. Faced with the girl's request for help, although he was a lonely
A killer who lives alone and is afraid of getting into trouble, but he still opens the door to life for the girl.
But he is not an ordinary uncle. In life, his words are not as quick as his actions. He is taciturn and not good at expressing himself. He only nods to the enthusiastic hotel receptionist and stutters when asking his boss for money. The only thing in life is that he is not an ordinary uncle.
His friend is the pot of agave. He cultivates it as his own life. He feels that he is the pot of agave. He never gave up the agave at the last moment because "it has no roots like me."
Leon, who has no roots, has no sense of security. He is like duckweed in the rain, scattered and scattered. He seldom sleeps well and always sleeps with one eye open. When moving into a new place, he has to check around before he can sit down peacefully. This is a killer.
Instinct, when he escaped from the apartment at the end of the film, he did not hesitate to escape into a room, hit the air vent with an ax, because he had already thought about where and how to escape from the moment he entered the apartment. His judgment was accurate.
It's heartbreaking. He has become accustomed to this kind of life, living in uncertainty and uneasiness.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the beginning, Matilda asked him: "Is life always so hard? Or is it just childhood?" His answer said it all: "It seems to be like this forever."
The appearance of Matilda changed him. When she came to his door with milk in her hands, his career as a killer was about to end.
Matilda inspired Lyon's yearning for love and ordinary life. Lyon and Matilda played a dress-up and star-guessing game together, splashing the girl with a water bottle and making fun. Maybe Lyon himself didn't notice it. Knowing Matilda
Finally, a bright smile began to appear on his face.
They learn from each other, grow up with each other, and the two cold hearts warm each other and redeem each other. He taught him how to use a gun because of the girl's request, but by the end of the film, the girl has never used a real gun to kill anyone.
When the target was shooting at the door, Leon quickly protected Matilda in his arms. Leon had been protecting her. He didn't want the girl to follow the path of a killer because of revenge and never look back. This was his
Love, he continues to grow in love, as he said, "You have made me experience the joy of life. I am very happy and want to sleep peacefully. I have roots."
As a killer in the film, Leon has a child-like purity. He is professional and indifferent, but also ordinary and kind. He is powerful enough to kill people in the DEA as if there is no one in the world, but he is also weak enough that the slightest sound can wake him up.
.As a movie image, it is rich and full. As Hegel said, "Every hero is a vibrant sum of many character traits. Only such multi-faceted character can make the character have vivid interest."
"And as a person, as Matilda said, "He is the best person in the world."
Therefore, Leon was indeed a killer at first, but after meeting Matilda, he no longer looked like a killer.
The same Matilda, at first, was indeed no different from a girl of her age.
Facing her father's violence, she could choose to endure it silently like most children.
But when her brother, the only family member she cared about, was killed, she was no longer that little girl, she grew up.
The killer's agent, Old Tony, is a very interesting character. He is completely different from the agents in the killer movies we have seen in the past.
He is a true friend of Leon. He has Leon's money in his hand, but he has never thought of keeping it for himself.
Even if Leon died! He was more sad, but he did not disobey Leon's instructions and leave the money to Matilda!
Even though he didn't like this little girl, even though he thought it was Matilda who killed Lyon, he still fulfilled his promise.
Stan, the big villain in the movie, is a DEA, but he gives people the impression that he is more of a drug lord than a drug lord.
He loves Beethoven's music and will talk about Mozart with the target. This is a very interesting setting. He also likes to bite the pill hard before taking action. He often gives people an excited and pious side.
The creation of this character is undoubtedly very successful.
Although each character feels very different, this is the real essence of the movie."
In fact, "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" is actually a slightly literary film made using commercial film techniques.
But a movie like this has left many fans a little confused.
"It's very beautiful, very good, but let me tell you, I don't know what's good about it!"
“Same feeling!”
"Not bad! What's so good about it?"
Someone quickly interpreted, what is so good about "This Killer Isn't Too Cold"?
"I saw that many movie fans on the Internet were wondering after watching "This Killer Is Not So Cold" that this movie is very good, but why is it good? What is so good about it?
So let’s take a look at the story and characters of the movie
First of all, many people may think that "The Killer Is Not So Cold" is a bit literary, but in fact, I want to tell you that this is just an appearance. In fact, this is really a very standard commercial film. From this aspect
Generally speaking, "The Killer Is Not Too Cold" has a very high degree of completion, which means that in terms of "telling a good story", it skillfully uses various commercial film techniques and methods to tell a complete, smooth and wonderful story.
story.
The opening chapter does not show Leon's face, creating a sense of mystery as the killer takes on the mission.
Then the first assassination mission, its function is to show Lyon's business level. After killing everyone, the face of the protagonist Lyon is finally revealed at the 8th minute. This is a standard commercial film shooting method. The character is established at the beginning, but the filming is so
Proficiency is enough to show the skill of the director.
The second scene arranges for the little girl Matilda to meet Leon and begins the main story. Not only does this begin to build the emotional relationship between Leon and the little girl, but it also introduces the villain Stan. The way the characters are presented here is the same as when Leon appeared.
The key to a good commercial film is whether the good and the evil are evenly matched. If the villain is too weak, the audience will of course find it boring.
But it's not enough just to have a good sense of style. In the next scene, the director continued to intensify the drama of the villain Stan. Here again, the director's skill was demonstrated. He first explained the story through the daily life of the little girl's family of five.
The little girl's character background, family relationship, and then the immediate destruction of the family are depicted in one stroke Stan's madness, violence and danger.
Killing two birds with one stone, the amount of information and emotion are both in place.
During the subsequent training process, Director Miracle still used the above-mentioned techniques, allowing the cold assassination training and the two people's growing feelings to intersect and spiral, while steadily advancing the story and showing the audience a spectacle - the killer.
The daily life of the two people, and on the other hand, the audience is drawn into the story through the relationship between the two.
Matilda strives to play the role of a mature woman who can't help but laugh. The contrast between Lyon, who seems cold and ruthless but is actually warm and innocent, will move everyone's face.
With the framework of the main story firmly established, the director filled in a lot of details to make the story flesh and blood.
For example, Stan's hobby of listening to Beethoven's music and taking pills is used throughout, which greatly enriches the image of the character and allows the audience to understand that this villain does not just have power and muscles, he has his own aesthetics, code of conduct and spirit.
world.
Another example is Matilda, who is still a child, but has been trying to act mature. She will secretly watch cartoons, use her own world view - using stomachache to explain changes in feelings, have a mischievous possessiveness, and think...
I gave my first time ritually but felt at a loss.
Another example is Leon's habit of drinking milk and sleeping on the sofa to stay awake, but he broke it for the little girl. Although it was as dangerous as the melting of an iceberg, even if it melted, the iceberg finally felt the warmth of love and sunshine.
Therefore, Leon did not die in the end. After being a walking zombie for many years, he finally met love and hope, incarnated in the pot of silver queen, and took root with Matilda.
In fact, including the ending of the movie, it also fits the audience's preferences very well.
Matilda and Lyon are destined to have no result, and this result is the best result.
