Lucky number Slevin

What is Lucky number Slevin? It's another Tarantinoesque movie. Some sort of twists, plus violent, plus cutting room magic, plus hatred and revenge. No questions were left unanswered at the end of the show.

These popular movies are all about getting even. It may be a reflection on how flustrated we are with the unfairness in the world today. After we get hurt, the only relieve we can get is from a movie, from a fantasy that people can actually get rampage over what was done wrong to them. And likely getting away with it. Bill was killed and so were the others.

Then it's the revenge from the other end, and on and on we go. We just spend our time forever hating each other, planning for a revenge, perform it, and waiting for one to come at us after. At the end there is no getting even, we just a bunch of animals that lives with anger and dies in anger.

I am shocked by all the urban disturbances these days. And I blame it on popular culture. In fact, popular culture and the youth influence each other. In the harsh world we are living in, I don't see the current trend is leading us to anywhere peaceful. Maybe human aren't all that civilized after all. Yes, we all gonna die sometime, but I certainly hope our meaning of life is not to kill one another.
