影片三块广告牌第75届金球奖剧情类最佳电影、最佳女主角、最佳男配角、最佳剧本4项大奖。

三块广告牌、三位主人公、三封信，影片给我们讲述了一个要为被杀害的女儿找到凶手的母亲的故事。全篇由一个事件，引发一个个更大的事件，涉及种族歧视、宗教信仰、同性恋、残疾人、战争创伤各个领域，在影片的最后以一句：“愤怒将招致更大的愤怒”(All this anger, it just begets greater anger.)揭示本片主题。

片中最打动人的莫过于威洛比警长离开前所写的三封信，今天木白就把这封警长写给妻子的感人辞世信分享给大家。

My darling Anne,

我亲爱的安妮，

There’s a longer letter in the dresser drawer I’ve been writing for the last week or so. That one covers us and my memories of us, and how much I’ve always loved you. This one just covers tonight, and more importantly today. Tonight I have gone out to the horses to end it. I can not say sorry for the act itself although I know for a short time you will be angry at me or even hate me for it.

在梳妆台的抽屉里还有一封更长的信，我写了差不多一周的时间。那封信提到了我们和我们的美好回忆，以及我是有多么爱你。这封信只提今晚，更重要的是提提今晚。今晚我去马厩结束了我的生命，我无法为我所做的行为道歉，尽管我知道你会生我一段时间的气，甚至会恨我。

Please don’t, this is not a case of “ I came in this world alone and I’m going out of it alone” or anything dumb like that. I did not come in this world alone, my mom was there. And I’m not going out of it alone cos you are there, drunk on the couch, making Oscar Wilde cock jokes.

但是请别，这不是什么”我独自来到这个世上也将独自离开”之类愚蠢的。我可不是独自一人来到这个世界上，我的母亲当时也在，我也不会独自一人离开因为你也在。你当时醉倒在沙发上，讲着关于奥斯卡.王尔德的屌笑话。

No, this is a case in some senses of bravery, not the bravery of facing the bullet down, the next few months of pain would be far harder than that small flash. No, it’s the bravery of weighing up the next few months of still being with you, still waking up with you, of playing with the kids against the next few months seeing in your eyes how much my pain is killing you，how my weakened body as it ebbs away and you tend to it are your final and lasting memories of me. I won’t have that.

不，从某种意义上来讲这是勇敢的原因，不是指一枪崩了自己的勇敢，接下来几个月的痛苦会越来越深，远超开枪那瞬间的痛苦。不，我所说的勇敢是指权衡我余下的日子的选择后所做的决定, 选择余下几个月的时间与你相伴，能同你一同醒来，一起和孩子们玩耍, 还是选择余下的几个月里，我将从你们的严重看到我的病痛给你们带来的折磨, 和你照顾我那日渐虚弱的身体，而这些会是你们对我最后的记忆，我绝不会如此度过我的余生。

Your final memories of me will be us at the riverside and that dumb fishing game which I think they cheated at. And me inside of you, you on top of me, and barely a fleeting thought of the darkness yet to come. That was the best Anne，a whole day of not thinking about it. Dwell on this day, baby, cos it was the best of my life. Kiss the girls for me, and know that I’ve always loved you. And maybe I’ll see you again if there’s another place. And if there ain’t, well, it’s been Heaven knowing you。

你们关于我最后的记忆会是我们一起在河边以及那愚蠢的钓鱼游戏, 我觉得孩子们肯定作弊了。还有你我水乳交融，不分彼此，几乎没有一点黑暗的念头闪过。这是最好的了，安妮。一整天都没有去想我的病情，宝贝，仔细回忆这一天吧，因为这是我生命里最棒的一天。替我吻吻姑娘们，记住我永远爱你们，如果有天堂的话，我们再会吧。如果没有，那我只能说，跟你在一起的日子是宛如天堂般的生活。

Your boy

Bill

爱你的大男孩儿
