The film stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two Irish hitmen in hiding, with Ralph Fiennes as their gangster boss. The film takes place and was filmed in the Belgian city of Bruges. ''In Bruges'' was the opening night film of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival and opened on limited release in the United States on 8 February 2008. The film garnered a cult status for its dark humor and dialogues. Farrell won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for the film, while Martin McDonagh won a BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay. ==Plot== Carrying out orders to execute a priest, rookie hitman Ray accidentally also kills a young boy. He and his mentor Ken are sent to Bruges by their employer Harry, where they are to await further instructions. Placidly biding his time until they can return to England, Ken finds the city charming and quaint, while Ray has nothing but contempt for it. One night, Ken indulges Ray's desire to get out of their small hotel room, and they explore the historic city, chancing upon a film shoot involving a dwarf actor, which amuses Ray. Ray strikes up a romance with Chloë, a local drug dealer moonlighting as a production assistant, taking her to a fancy restaurant, where he gets into an argument with a couple and ends up knocking them unconscious. Later at her apartment, Chloë's ex-boyfriend Eirik suddenly appears and brandishes a handgun loaded with blanks, but Ray disarms him, and blinds him in one eye by discharging the gun in his face. Chloë shamefully admits that she and Eirik occasionally rob tourists after she seduces them, insisting she'd told Eirik that Ray was not a target. Ray also becomes acquainted with Jimmy, the dwarf actor, who turns out to be a drug-abusing racist. Ken finally receives a call from Harry, unexpectedly ordering him to kill Ray, on the principle that the killing of a child—even accidentally—is unforgivable. Harry explains that he sent the pair to Bruges because he loved the city as a boy and wanted to give Ray one last beautiful memory before dying. With a handgun supplied by Harry's local contact Yuri, Ken reluctantly tracks Ray to a park and prepares to kill him. But Ray, distraught at his killing of the boy, is about to shoot himself with Eirik's loaded gun, and Ken instead stops him. Ken admits that he has been ordered to kill Ray, but convinces him to instead get on a train out of Bruges and not return to England, to make a new start elsewhere. Ken informs Harry of this, who immediately sets out for Bruges, enraged at the disobedience. However Ray is identified on the train by the couple he assaulted in the restaurant, and is escorted back to Bruges. Chloë bails him out, and the two share a drink on the market square beneath Bruges' belfry. Ken and Harry also meet for a drink nearby, then climb to the top of the carillon tower, where Ken argues that Ray deserves a chance at redemption, and accepts whatever fate Harry has for him in defense of that; baffled by Ken's principles, Harry shoots him in the leg. Eirik then alerts Harry that Ray has returned, and Ken is mortally wounded trying to stop Harry. As Harry descends the steps to kill Ray, Ken drags himself back to the top of the tower, but fog prevents him from using his gun. He throws coins onto the plaza, attracting the attention of the people below, before throwing himself down, living long enough to warn Ray of Harry's arrival. Harry pursues Ray through the city and wounds him with a single shot from a distance. Ray staggers onto the street where the film is shooting, as Harry catches up. He shoots Ray repeatedly, also hitting Jimmy, who is costumed as a schoolboy. Believing he has killed a child (in the same way Ray had), adhering to his own principles, Harry kills himself. Gravely wounded, Ray is lifted into an ambulance as he reflects upon the nature of hell. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「In Bruges」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
