Violence, as a social problem, is also an important landscape in the gallery of world cinema.
Violence and beauty were originally concepts that were incompatible, but I don't know when they combined into a new word - the aesthetics of violence
Today is a classic film "The Executioner", which was filmed in 1999.
The Executioner
A pair of zealous Irish brothers who offended the gang by killing in self-defense were acquitted by the police in the name of legitimate defense.
As if guided by God, the brothers decided to use their own hands to destroy all kinds of evil from now on!
They buy weapons to counter violence and clean up criminals with the help of their friend Locke.
This film not only kills countless people and foul language (according to fans, there are 246 fucks), but it is also very gay.

In fact, the plot of this movie is very simple, that is, the story of a pair of Irish brothers fighting violence with violence when the law fails, and the rain of bullets in slow motion, the imaginary and recreated scenes of the crime under the elegant and gorgeous aria, the pious prayer words before the killing, the coins on the eyes of the corpse, in the name of God, make the whole film full of mysterious and solemn power, and the two mortal heroes are full of violence and peace, which makes me, who has no religious belief, excited and deeply resonates.
Prayer at the time of execution
This movie is also a very happy movie, such as a bar brawl, the old bartender has insufficient hand dancing, the sheriff n times damaged the police who are very good at solving the case, and the rope that always comes in handy, the cat who was killed by the fire. There is also the most classic line below, which is simply hilarious!

Another example is the speech of the godfather at the beginning of the film, we always say that we cannot respond to violence with violence, but when the indifference and connivance in the face of atrocities make violence and tragedies more and more intense, whether countering violence with violence can only be regarded as the legitimate defense of the Irish brothers facing the Russian gangsters. Either you die or I die, and that being the case, it's better than what Murphy said, "Kill them all."
If this kind of small detail that flashes by reality and is unique does not attract enough attention, then the pseudo-documentary video at the end of the film can be regarded as the most "serious" part of the whole film. Good students should be particularly fond of analyzing the human positions and controversies of the issues presented in this passage. However, this realistic fragment is only placed at the end of the film, after the extremely explosive court execution, it is only to avoid too arbitrary angles, leaving the viewer with a last room, and the questions it involves will not be answered in this movie.
There is no need for an answer.
