E168 |The killer- I have an interesting Theory about this (movie)

<p>The start of this movie almost lost me as we just had Michael Fassbender ( the protagonist in this film whose actual name is never mentioned  but, he uses various names throughout the movie,  almost Jason Bourne-type of vibes) <br>anyway, Michael delivers a never-ending narration while he waits to execute a hit. But then when I thought about the character, it made sense.  David Fincher's ( the director, in case you wondering who that is) attention to detail throughout the entire movie is immaculate as every little thing plays an important part. <br>This is also a very intelligent and smartly written movie that requires you to think, and for me at least, I really liked this as it made it a fun challenge to figure out certain elements in the film and to always pay attention to details.</p><p>Plus the movie finds a way to make you feel like you’re shadowing a real contract killer the whole time. The main character's narration is a unique touch, even in the normal everyday moments when he’s constantly looking over his shoulder. The film's pace has a constant tension, with certain moments where it escalates rapidly into venomous action, yet the action never feels overdone and instead feels hyper-realistic.</p><p><strong>NOW PAY ATTENTION</strong><br>I have a theory. This is a perfect misdirection trick the film creators made.</p><p>You never get to know this unnamed assassin. You never get to know what makes him tick. That's the whole point.</p><p>As a viewer, we normally project our own moral compass onto what we are watching. We think this is a revenge story. We think we are rooting for this character who is fighting back because his loved ones were attacked. </p><p>But really,  i don't think that's the point, I think it's something darker.</p><p>N<strong>ow listen </strong><br>Throughout the movie, the killer repeats his rules. He never mentions anything personal. Nothing about his home or girlfriend. He doesn't care about anyone. People are not important. He IS a paid killer after all. </p><p>The Kille
