Simply put, In Bruges is a story about three killers in Bruges. Its Korean title City of the Killers(translated) and exciting action-movie reminiscent trailers fooled many Korean audiences and received shameful stars. However, it is actually a black comedy that was nominated in many awards.
Watching In Bruges, I could see that killers, who are mostly in the image of guiltless killing machines in my head, also have feelings. They are all human creatures who feel the same as any other people do. They merely more used to killing. While conducting one of missions, Ray(Colin Farrell) accidently kills a little boy. I was wondering, ‘Of course killing a boy might make you feel a bit worse, but how is it so different from killing a grown up?’ However, a principle-oriented killer, actually a boss, Harry also feels the same way. In fact he is a more hard-core than Ray, insisting that anyone who kills little children should also be eliminated. “You’ve got to stick to your principles.” That was his final word.
In the movie, the three assassinators seem quite close together, especially between Ken and Harry. On a second they are joking cynically but friendly, and the next second they are pointing guns at each other. Although this may look like the world of the killers, this is also an allusion to the real world. In a blink, people can change from friends to enemies.
I may be not old enough to fully understand In Bruges, but I enjoyed the scenic views of Bruges and serene but suspenseful ambiance. It is definitely a must rewatch-movie after a few years later.
