Hot Fuzz synopsis & comment





Sypnosis :
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is undoubtedly London's finest constable. His arrest record far surpasses that of any other officer, and he continues to undergo training to better his skills. This makes his fellow constables look bad, so they have him forcibly promoted and transferred to Sandford, a country village with the lowest crime rate in the country.


Sandford is as quiet as it is advertised, which depresses Nick. On his first night in the village, he kicks under-age drinkers out of the local pub, then arresting them for disorderly conduct in the streets. One of his arrestees turns out to be his new partner, Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), a doughy, affable chap whose father, Frank (Jim Broadbent) is the village's chief of police. Nick meets his fellow constables who, with the exception of the smug Andy's (Paddy Considine and Rafe Spall), are affable but neither adept at nor much interested in investigative police work. The only other people who seem interested in law and order are the Neighbourhood Watch Alliance, a group of long-time residents who care deeply about maintaining Sandford's reputation as the nation's best village and are concerned about the arrival of street performers and other riffraff. Danny, however, pesters Nick for details of his career in London, which Danny is certain was filled with the kind of blazing action he has seen in American action films like "Point Break" and "Bad Boys II."


For a few days, Nick's most exciting moments are chasing a runaway swan and then a shoplifter, and confiscating the arsenal a local farmer has collected over the years, including a rusty sea mine. He also pulls over for speeding the local solicitor and his much younger girlfriend. The two of them are on their way to perform in their "homage" to Shakespeare, a dreadful updating of "Romeo and Juliet." After the performance, the two would-be Thespians are brutally murdered by a dark-cloaked figure with a hatchet. Their bodies are then strewn about in the road where Nick and Danny had pulled them over for speeding and their car wrecked to make their deaths appear to be a gory traffic accident. The other police officers are content with explanation, despite Nick's concerns about the lack of skid marks at the scene.


Shortly thereafter, a grotesque businessman is assaulted by the dark-cloaked figure. His death is made to look like the result of an accidental gas explosion. Nick can't shake the feeling that the two deaths are connected and begins to suspect Simon Skinner (Timothy Dalton), the local supermarket owner who has a penchant for sprinkling his common conversation with violent language. Skinner clearly disliked the recently deceased businessman and seems to know intimate details of the actors' final moments. When a nosy local journalist is horrifically murdered by the dark-cloaked figure, Nick finally persuades Frank to let him treat the incident as a murder. Nick's investigation leads nowhere and threatens his relationship with Danny, with whom he was becoming good friends. Nick goes to the local flower shop to buy a peace lily for Danny as a birthday present. He is surprised to see the shop's proprietor, renowned for her horticultural skills, leaving town. She tells him that the land she owns was to be bought by the businessman with the assistance of the Thespians. Then when they were both killed, the reporter informed her that her land was much more valuable than what the businessman offered her, so she has sold her shop to a land developer from the city. She also reveals her connections to Skinner. When Nick briefly goes outside to his car, the dark cloaked figure stabs the woman to death with her garden shears. Nick gives chase but cannot catch up to the villain, who was wounded in the escape. Convinced that Skinner's connection to the property deal and attitude toward those murdered is sufficient evidence against Skinner, Nick takes the police force to confront him. But Skinner has no wound and his store's surveillance tapes establish that he was on the premises all day.


Nick is prepared to give up when it occurs to him that instead of a single murderer, several dark-cloaked murderers might be working together. This theory is confirmed when he is attacked in his hotel room by one of Skinner's employees, who is wearing a dark cloak. Nick defeats him and then impersonates him when Skinner radios to see if Nick has been killed. Nick traces Skinner to a castle outside of the village. There he finds the Neighborhood Watch Alliance, clad in the dark cloaks, chanting ritualistically. The NWA reveals that they have all been behind the murders, with their motive simply being civic pride, and had nothing to do with property deal between those who were murdered. Anything that could strip Sandford of its status as the nation's best village is violently opposed: The solicitor and his girlfriend were murdered because their terrible acting brought ill repute to Sandford's theatre company, the businessman was murdered for owning a tacky home, the journalist for poor spelling, and the horticulturalist for even thinking about moving away. Nick tries to arrest them but Frank and Danny appear in support of the NWA. They chase Nick through the grounds of the castle, where he finds the remains of other people the NWA has killed. The NWA surrounds Nick, and Danny steps forward and stabs him. Danny takes Nick's body away in the boot of his car.


At a safe distance, he lets the quite-alive Nick go -- they had faked Nick's death using ketchup packets for blood and Nick's notebook to avoid actual skin penetration. Danny refuses to believe his father and the NWA are responsible for murder and persuades Nick to take his car and return to London. In London, Nick sees a collection of action film videos and, inspired, returns to Sandford to put an end to the NWA. He takes the arsenal from the police evidence room and confronts many of the NWA members in the town square. They are equally as well armed as he is, and he vanquishes them only through the timely assistance of Danny.


In the local pub (whose owners are also NWA members), Frank and the other constables, in full riot gear, surround Nick and Danny. But Nick is able to persuade the constables that he is in the right. Frustrated, Frank runs away. Nick and the other officers go to the supermarket to apprehend Skinner, but when his employees put up a spirited fight, Skinner is able to escape with Frank. Danny and Nick give pursuit in their police car, and in the process find the runaway swan. Skinner and Frank are forced to abandon their car, and Nick and Danny give chase on foot. Nick and Skinner fight in a scale replica of the village, and Nick wins when Skinner falls and impales his chin on model of the village church, though this doesn't kill him. Frank tries to flee in Nick and Danny's car, but crashes into a tree when the swan attacks him.


Nick's former London superiors arrive in Sandford to congratulate him and ask him to return, as London has become crime ridden in his absence. Nick refuses because he has made such good friends and finally learned to enjoy life in Sandford. However, at the station, the last remaining member of the NWA tries to kill him. Danny takes the full brunt of the gun blast, and in the ensuing chase, the sea mine is detonated, destroying the station house.


But no one is killed. Danny is promoted to Sargent and Nick becomes the Inspector. Danny and Nick continue to patrol the streets of Sandford together with Marcus and Mike from "Bad Boys" as their role models.


This time out Simon Pegg is Sergeant Nicholas Angel, a tireless, no-nonsense cop who finds himself shipped off to a small village by jealous bosses. Once there he finds an easy-going attitude and an easy-going partner in Danny Butterman and finds both difficult to adjust to. But there is more going on in this little village than church fairs and citizen watch committees and soon Angel is investigating numerous accidents.




Comment :
For me every movie have their own specials and their own storyboards. Like this movie with action,comedy and mystery genre will make a viewers wondering like "how to solve the puzzle". The main character in this movie, Nicholas Angel is an excellent British police officer and know how to adapt himself to live in that small town called Sandford. He know to solve the murder cases that occurred in Sandford with his colleague, Danny. When he got the answer for those murder cases so he place himself in danger. Fortunately his friend, Danny help him although in a same time his father also killer too and he love his father so much. Some of the villagers commit a serial homicide because illogical reason like a pair of actor and actress who plays as Romeo and Juliet were killed because their terrible acting, a journalist were killed because his poor spelling and businessman for his tacky home. This movie also teach us how to become a good citizen also a good friend who helping each other. This movie also funny too with it's wacky storyboard and characters.

A Memorable Experience          


                   Everyone have many memorable experiences in their life. When they have a chance to live in this world a little longer, they have more memorable experiences in their life than people who died younger.  Some of our memorable experiences not just good experiences but also bad experiences in our life.  When our experiences succeed to teach us to become a good person or lucky person, so that experiences we can call memorable experiences. I also have a memorable experience. This is my memorable experience.

                   I still remember when first time in my life I can follow my friend, Linda sailed on luxurious cruise at the somewhere in Pahang.  Although we sailed on luxurious cruise but I only got second class cabin. First class cabin only for rich people who own their company, have many luxurious cars, and maybe their house also huge as palace because first class cabin is the most expensive cabin on that cruise.

                   Although we have a chance to sailed on that luxurious cruise but not as tourist but as part time worker.  We were waitresses on that cruise.  That is my first time to become a worker because before this we only secondary school’s students. After a half month we finished our SPM examination, Linda and I applied a job as waitress although people like us disallowed because we only just finished our SPM examination but not as diploma graduated student. Since Linda’s uncle is an owner to that cruise’s restaurant so we got the job as we wanted. His restaurant looks beautiful and elegant as first class restaurant although that restaurant not just for first class passenger but also for lowest class passenger and entire cruise’s staff.

                  Although we already have a job but Linda worked during the day and I worked during the night. Linda said to me that I am lucky because I can stroll around the cruise during the day since I only a few hours to sleep but I said to her that she are lucky than me because she can see the sunrise and the sunset. She can see the sunlight more than me. She also have a chance to stroll around th cruise during the night and see beautiful stars and moon also some of romantic couples hang around the cruise . Although I only sleep a few hours on that cruise but I woke up on afternoon and sleep after the dawn, after I performed my Subuh prayer.

                 When I strolled around that cruise during the day, I can saw many attitudes of passengers or tourists. I still remember one of them is a man who loves drawing always drawing the beautiful scene from the cruise, people with their behavior on that cruise and much more. What can I saw from him was he always with his pencil and drawing block. Besides that, one of them is girls who love played a skipping rope. They are twin. They are the most cute twin sister I ever saw on that cruise. Sometime they swam in the swimming pool on that cruise.  Many passengers on that cruise with their own behavior but that man and the girls always attract me to watch them because what that man done is teach me to do what thing you love to do as you think that is right and that girls behavior teach me about happiness time.

                 When my shift on the night I also can saw many people’s behavior too in restaurant. I still remember  the night that I never forget that a male customer purposed his girlfriend to become his wife and other customers who noticed them cheer for them and his girlfriend laughed and she said “ You always make me happy but this is wrong” suddenly her boyfriend said “why? What is my fault to you” the customers said “Ouwh”. She said again “this is not right way to propose me. As Malay and also Muslim you should purpose me via our parent” and those customers said “Aahh” as they got new information from something.  The boyfriend said “Okay I will keep this ring for a while but tell your parent that my parent will meet your parent and ask for marriage and tell them that I ready to become their son-in law” and those customers said again “Woohoo” and cheer for them.  I laughed, suddenly I heard a woman voice called me “Waiter” and I said “Yes” that is our customer. She said that she want to paid for that couple and for her bill. I smiled and said “Yes, thank you”. She asked her boyfriend maybe her husband for a credit card. Suddenly she asked me “Hello, you look younger than other waiters and waitresses I ever saw in this restaurant. How old are you?”  and I answered honestly “ I am seventeen years old but it’s okay I will try to become professional waitress”.  She said to me “It’s okay because I think you can become the best waitress in this restaurant”. I smiled and said “Thank You”.

                  Actually I have many unforgettable memories and experiences during my duty as waitress but not all of them are sweet memories or experiences. Some of them are bitter too. Although I also cried on that cruise but this experience as waitress teach me to become a good and independent person. It also teach me what is a meaning of life.
