คู่มหาเฮง นักฆ่ากระaction [The Big Hit]

An unexpected turn of events, a failed director and a cast of inept amateurs, but what awaits them is a truly extraordinary life.

This feels like a film only France could produce. If another country were to adapt it, perhaps they would approach it from a more socially significant angle.

With Beckett wrangling Joyce's Finnegans Wake manuscripts, it's a wonder he didn't write Waiting for Godot sooner.

Absolutely loved it! What a delightful surprise! The metaphor of Waiting for Godot is obvious, but brilliantly executed. The actors' performances on stage were stunning, embodying a freedom and despair that I hadn't anticipated. There were moments watching these seemingly mad characters on stage that genuinely brought tears to my eyes. However, I wasn't entirely sold on the ending. The escape felt somewhat unresolved, and the director's on-stage monologue didn't quite manage to ground such a dramatic turn of events and weighty subject matter, nor did it adequately address the moral conflicts of the criminals' escape. Despite that, I thoroughly enjoyed this magnificent story.

Unlike many inspirational films about "starting from scratch and winning competitions," this play is meaningless for the actors from the very beginning. It offers neither reduced sentences nor financial gain. The cheering and fanfare merely obstruct what they've been waiting for in prison - freedom. As for the director, he consistently uses the story to achieve tangible success and fame, leveraging a nihilistic narrative to satisfy his own existentialist needs. The entire ensemble is absurd enough. Therefore, the ending is crucial as it dismantles both nihilism and existentialism.
