Starts with casual racism, however, I’m not really sure if the guy that gets called a “monkey” is not actually a swarthy white guy. Then we say that the guy who dropped the “slur” had a traumatic brain injury and has a plate in his skull. He also seems to have some PTSD and major memory issues. Turns out to be sort of a gentleman though.
He comes home to a bunch of drunks and his wife making out with some dude. Then they have this exchange after he slaps the guy shooting his wife.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think you had better leave. My husband would like to be alone with me... He probably wants to beat me up. Perhaps you wouldn’t want me to apologize. “Apologize, darling? But you don’t have to; you’re a hero. A hero can get away with anything.”
I think this sort of thing happens a lot. Soldiers get married young before they go off to war. Come back to find their wives or husbands who they probably don’t know that well with someone else. I had a great aunt that Had some other guy besides her husband’s kid and he was basically just like, “well, get rid of the kid but I guess we will stay together and I’ll just treat you like shit for the rest of our lives.” That was before people got divorced and what have you as is this film. It looks like it’s going to be a wonderful life there, soldier.
Before he and his wife get everybody out of the house pretty much his buddies call. They said they would whenever they found an apartment. I thought this would be like a month from then or something, but they’ve already got one, moved all their shit in, and everything like 10 minutes after tying one off at the bar/causing minor property damage.
The neighborhood has a house detective, what the fuck is that? Tell him to keep it down and pull the shades down if he’s going to push his wife around. The tone, I thought, was definitely, “don’t fucking touch her.”
This movie is just one thing after another. Find out that they had a child that is now dead. Dude starts grilling his wife about it and she went to one of her parties got wasted and then has a “car smash.” This appears to be fine legally back then. Sort of just frowned upon, killing your child while drunk driving.
Then the real action starts. Great film. Highly recommend. But be ready, this movie is a pretty demanding watch.
