Movie Review: Don't Breathe

What's up, guys!!!!! For today post, I'm going to review the most breathtaking movie I've ever watched. I'm the kind of guy who does not like to watch thriller movie compared to the horror movie. This is because I think that the thriller movie is much more relatable to our real life compared to the horror movie. So, my friends tried to embolden me to watch thriller movie by treating me to watch Don't Breathe at the cinema. Well, who does not like free things? Such a rhetoric question isn't it?

FUN FACT: The director does not want to make a movie that is dealing with supernatural as he felt that was too trendy.

Rocky, Alex, and Money are three delinquents friends that make their ends meet by breaking into others people home. They were never caught by the police because they have made two requirements before breaking into others' home. First, they are not supposed to steal money. Second, the goods that they stole must not exceed ten thousand USD. They also got the aid from Alex whose father owns a security company. As a result, they will not have to break the windows and doors just for the sake to enter it. They planned to stop their delinquents as they have collected adequate amount of money to move from Detroit and create a new life. After stealing the goods, they will sell it to their usual buyer. However, the amount of money that they get are still insufficient to achieve their main goal.They gained an information from Alex father's company data that a Veteran Army has approximately three hundred thousand USD being stored inside the house. So, they tried to take a risk by breaking into the house even though it will cause them to be caught by the authority.

As they arrived there, they discover that the army is blind and he seldom goes out from his house. So, after having some discussion they decided to break into the house at night when the old man sleeps. The story starts to shock the viewers when the three of them accidentally wake the fierce dog that guards the house. So, they make the dog sleeps to prevent the old man wake up from noise. When Money arrives at his bedroom, he sprays an ammonia gas to ensure the old man continue to sleep. After that, they searched for the security box that keeps all of the money inside the house. Unfortunately, they accidentally make a noise that wakes up the old man. Since he was an army, he still has the knowledge of self-defence and used it when Money points out a gun to him. This had caused Money badly injured and soon after that, the old man shot him. As the story continues, the suspends rises up as the old man trying to find the remaining teenagers inside his house. This scene really freaking me out because everything is possible to happen. Whether all of them will be killed or they will find out a way to escape from the house. I will not tell the remaining story as it will cause you to lose the suspends. So, I recommend all of you to watch Don't Breathe.

THREE INTERESTING WORDS

1. Delinquent- doing things that are illegal or immoral

Rocky sends all of his children into army school to instill the disciplinary method in life as it will prevent them to become delinquent just like their cousins.

2. Menace- a show of intention to inflict harm

The residents of Amityville were afraid to the Veteran Army who lives at the end of the neighborhood because he is menace towards the children and caused them traumatized to pass through the old man's house. 

3. Subdue- to get control of (a violent person or dangerous person or group) by using, force, punishment, etc

The policeman was badly injured when he tried to subdue the old man that was pointing his gun to all of his neighbors because no one ever cares his welfare.

DO YOU SYMPATHIZE WITH THE VILLAIN?

In my view, I do sympathize with the villain who is the Veteran Army. First, he is a disabled person who is blind. Why should we treat a person that has disabilities that way? Money, Rocky, and Alex should not take advantage of his disability to break into the house. Yes, I know that they are trying to make their ends meet, but there are proper ways to do so. For example, they can break into houses that have no occupant inside it. Second, he is lonely. The old man also has the purpose of keeping the girl inside his house. After the death of his daughter, he is lonely. So, he kidnapped the girl that had caused his daughter killed. He does not have any intention to keep the girl forever, he just wants the girl to give birth to his child so he will not be alone again. Third, he has to do everything to keep his house safe. He has a maximum security in his house. He also does not easily believe everyone. For example, he does not trust any security company to secure his house. So, it is not his fault to kill any strangers that break into his house. This is because he stores a lot of money inside his house and the girl he kidnapped. But, that does not mean that I completely agree with every single action that he took. This is just my opinion on why I do sympathize towards him.
