“Evil is a point of view. We are immortal. And what we have before us are the rich feasts that conscience cannot appreciate and mortal men cannot know without regret. God kills, and so shall we; indiscriminately He takes the richest and the poorest, and so shall we; for no creatures under God are as we are, none so like Him as ourselves, dark angels not confined to the stinking limits of hell but wandering His earth and all its kingdoms.”
Brad Pitt is doing a subtly different performance in these two roles, using similar physical mannerisms, but not identical. A comparison can be drawn. Maybe Louis would be the colder version, Mills the hotter version, of reacting to this similar situation.
Both have been roughed up somewhat by their antagonists at this point, but are dressed nicely.
Both are reacting to the first moment of being informed that their wife/S.O. and infant child was murdered (for Louis, Madeleine is the freshly made child!).
What’s especially upsetting about Louis’s loss is that it echoes the beginning of the movie, in which he’d lost his wife and child in childbirth. He’s come all this way and IT F*&KING HAPPENED AGAIN GDI SANTIAGO ;A;
What’s especially upsetting about Det. Mills loss is that he didn’t know he was going to be a father! ;A;
Both have to grieve very quickly in order to move on to…
☆*:.｡. ~VENGEANCE~ .｡.:*☆
Det. Mills serves it up fresh, impulsively, just walks right into the trap laid for him by his antagonist.
Louis serves it a bit cooler, the next night, with some planning involved, and alot more death, taking his antagonists by surprise.
Both essential use fire to do it. Firearm! Get it?? yeah.
Louis knows Revenge is a dish best served en Flambé.
“… two wet shriveled things that had been alive, mother and daughter in one another’s arms, the murdered pair on the kitchen floor. But these two lying under the gentle rain were Madeleine and Claudia, … the hand that clutched at the child was whole like a mummy’s hand. But the child, the ancient one, my Claudia, was ashes.”

“I could see a world of frescoes and murals surrounded us, their colors deep and vibrant above the dancing flame, and gradually the theme and content beside us came clear. It was the terrible `Triumph of Death’ by Breughel, painted on such a massive scale that all the multitude of ghastly figures towered over us in the gloom, those ruthless skeletons ferrying the helpless dead in a fetid moat or pulling a cart of human skulls, beheading an outstretched corpse or hanging humans from the gallows…. So vivid, so perfect was it, I shuddered.”
