A review of “Death Wish”: a revenge movie that’s even more exciting, but needs a lot of soul-searching after the passion

  • admin
  • May 18, 2018

A revenge movie that’s not only logically rigorous, subtle, and withstanding, but also has a deeper relevance behind it! As a Hollywood film, it is a guarantee of quality. The film is impeccable in terms of plot and graphics, especially in terms of detail.

In the film, everyone’s profession has a certain significance. The life of the main character Paul makes it easier for him to access patients with gunshot wounds, the hotel waiter facilitates access to customers’ cars and checking home addresses, and the bar owner facilitates being the seller of stolen goods ……

So, from how the burglars obtain the address of the main character Paul’s home, to how Paul is able to avoid police enquiries time and again, and how he is able to obtain the criminal’s detailed address, the chain of events is delivered very clearly, and the holes dug by the director are filled in the play without regret.

This is one of the reasons why the film is a crime drama, but the audience is not tired of watching it. Although the first part of the film is a little heavy with Paul’s family being harmed by the bandits, the later part is more exciting and powerful with revenge!

However, not only is the plot of “The Tiger’s Quest” more combustible and exciting, it also has a more profound and realistic meaning, and after the passion for revenge has subsided, there is still a need for profound reflection! The main theme of the film is at first glance a violent aesthetic or the fight against violence, but in fact it is not. The focus is on a reflection on the proliferation of firearms.

In the film, Paul, after his family has been harmed by criminals, is unable to wait for the police to arrest him, so he turns into the “Grim Reaper”, armed with guns and ammunition to defend justice on earth, and becomes known as the Patron Saint! After the patron saint became popular, some people followed Paul’s example and took to the streets to defend justice, not only putting themselves in danger, but also trampling on local laws and adding to the chaos of law and order.

So, does the legalisation of gun ownership protect people, or does it lead to deeper harm? If everyone follows Paul’s example, it will only bring more panic. So the original source of the problem is still the issue of weapons.

Weapons, while symbolising the right to freedom, can bring about deeper and more convenient harm. Just as Paul treats patients in hospitals and often comes into contact with injured people in street shootouts, it is easier to obtain weapons, especially after he has taken on the guise of the Grim Reaper, and this convenient access logically leads him to crime. In the film, Paul upholds justice, but brings about greater controversy and fear – can personal justice really bring peace?

All in all, the film is perfectly paced, gradually pulling the viewer from the calm state of family life into a tense and exciting battle for revenge, which is followed by a profound reflection on real-life issues, a rare powerhouse of relevance in American action films.

Although the film ends with a perfect ending for Paul as the one who upholds justice, I fear that in reality, what happens to individuals who uphold justice is what happens to others who follow suit in the film.
