前几天在微博上刷到有人说Netflix出品的劫匪(The Highwaymen)不错,所以抽空去看了下。开场的一顿突突就把我给留下了,特喜欢这种疯狂不做作的节奏,看完之后又惊叹于这样时代感的画风和精彩的对白。
劫匪的画风就是一部西部片,但却没有马,只有老牛仔和小汽车,老骑警都退休了,却依旧被正义召唤了回来,大多时候都是两个人孤独开着车在无人的公路上追捕邦尼和克莱德,路上遇到各种阻拦,上气不接下气的追滑头小子、被年轻警察们嘲笑不懂现代装备、因为只有本周执法权而禁止通过路障。
30年代的美国,处于经济危机时期,美国国民陷入物质危机,就如同加油站大叔说的他们只抢劫那些抢穷人钱的银行,邦尼和克莱德这两个违法者和杀人犯成为了民众反抗社会的偶像,模仿他们的穿着,把他们当明星一样应援围观。
最后Frank和Maney的对话。
Maney:I never particularly liked the weight of the deciding who gets to live and who doesn’t.
Frank:There’s differences between us, Maney.
Frank: But hiding behind something ain’t one of ‘em
Frank: You konw, counting McNabb, they’ve killed 13 and people call ‘em heroes.
Maney: Who cares what they call…
Frank: I care!
Frank: People idolize them. We need end this.
Frank: It’s never easy, it’s never pertty.
Frank: But there’s always blood at the end of the road, you know that.
Frank: You know that the same as me.
Maney: I seen a lot a blood, but it ain’t theirs.
Frank: Goddammit, Maney, why the hell…
Frank: Why the hell you even come?
Maney: I had to come.
Maney: Though I don’t exactly know why.
这就是所有的意义。
最后的最后,被打的满身弹孔劫匪被民众抢夺尸体,转身驾车离开的Frank、Maney,意味而又深长。
