If rage could take on human form, it would probably look a lot like Mildred Hayes.
假如愤恨能化作人形，或许会和米尔德里德·海耶斯十分相似。

Playing the leading role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which hit Chinese big screens on March 2, Hayes is a mother who grieves at the rape and murder of her teenage daughter, Angela.
电影《三块广告牌》3月2日登陆中国大荧幕，海耶斯正是这部电影中的主角。面临十几岁的女儿安吉拉被人奸杀，作为母亲，她沉痛不已。

She directs her anger toward the local police, who she believes are not doing enough to find the killer. And as the film’s title suggests, Hayes makes sure that the whole world knows about it by renting three billboards and putting her messages up on them: “Raped while dying”; “And still no arrests?”; “How come, Chief Willoughby?”.
她将自己愤恨的锋芒指向了当地警方，以为他们寻觅凶手时并不作为。而正如影片姓名所示，海耶斯租下了三块广告牌，并将她的责问诉诸于此：“爱女在此被残暴奸杀”、“凶犯至今逍遥法外”、“威洛比警长这终究怎么回事”。如此一来，令全国际都知道了这件事。

The billboards get a lot of attention, and it’s not long before Hayes becomes the most unpopular woman in town. She has to deal with criticism from all around her – from friends of the police to strangers who don’t understand her rage, and even from her own son who blames her for letting Angela’s death affect his life. But Hayes doesn’t give up and always fights back.
广告牌引发了很多重视，很快海耶斯成为了全镇上下最不受欢迎的女性。她不得不应对来自周遭人——警方的亲朋以及那些不理解其愤恨的陌生人的批判，就连她自己的儿子也责怪母亲让安吉拉的死影响了他的日子。但海耶斯从未抛弃，坚持抵挡究竟。

“It felt amazing to watch a woman who had passed her breaking point, passed her threshold of dealing with nonsense. It feels [like] we’re in a time where people are forced to take extraordinary measures,” wrote Amy Nicholson, film critic for Variety.
“看一个女性越过了自己的溃散边际，越过了自己应对谬论的极限适当精彩。感觉就像咱们身处在一个不得不采纳极点办法的年代，”《综艺》杂志影评人艾米·尼克尔森写道。

And as the story keeps on going, you’ll see what Nicholson’s “time” means. The film deals with social issues like racial inequality, police brutality, domestic violence, and warfare between men and women. What starts as a crime story soon becomes a social satire, and the question of who killed Angela becomes less of a focus.
跟着故事情节的打开，你会理解尼克尔森所说的“年代”意味着什么。影片触及了种族不平等、差人暴行、家庭暴力、两性抵触种种社会问题。这部以违法故事最初的电影很快变成了一部挖苦社会的著作，终究是谁杀了安吉拉也变得没那么引人重视了。

The fact that the film doesn’t contain a single major character who’s entirely or even mostly evil is also what makes it so close to reality. Everyone is flawed and has their own pain – Chief Willoughby is actually a good policeman who’s dying of cancer, and Hayes herself sometimes takes her anger too far and fights for the wrong reasons.
影片中并没有哪个首要人物是彻里彻外的坏人，这点也让电影愈加靠近实际。每个人都有缺陷和自己的把柄 —— 威洛比警长事实上是位身患癌症的好警官，而海耶斯自己有时则过分火了，由于过错的理由而对立。

“It’s just a mirror of what the world is,” said US actor Clarke Peters, who plays police officer Abercrombie. “Sometimes life is reflected in art.”
“这部电影便是面反映国际的镜子，”影片中扮演阿伯克隆比警官的美国艺人克拉克·皮特斯表明。“有时日子在艺术中得以表现。”
