Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell star in the courtroom suspense film " Justice " ( 2002 ), set in a prison camp during World War II. Colin Farrell plays the "rich kid lieutenant" who is the son of a senator and has never been to the front line, and wears a vintage Longines (Ref. unknown) from the 1940s or 1950s in the film.
At the time, Longines military watches were issued to armies around the world, but the one featured in this film is a pink gold dress watch with elegant decorative lugs. It was probably purchased for the man's father, who was a senator. It is a watch that is unremarkable for a soldier, but is more suited to a "rich young lieutenant."

Jorg Hyzek is known for designing the Vacheron Constantin 222 and Breguet Marine. The futuristic design of the Digi-Ana Quartz Kirium, which he created in the late 1990s, lends credibility to the character of a "tech youth around 2003."

Betrayal after betrayal makes it inevitable that no one can be trusted. The TV series " True Detective 2nd " (2015) depicts a tense confrontation between " bad guys and corrupt detectives ." In this film, Colin Farrell plays a corrupt detective who has become accustomed to the corruption of the judicial authorities, and wears a Casio Basic Digital (Ref. W-87H) .
The popular model " W-87H " from Cheap Casio was once sold in Japan, but is now only sold overseas. Although it has a similar design to the G-SHOCK, it is small and not too thick, so it is easy to use and does not get in the way, making it a popular model overseas. It is the perfect watch for entering dangerous and harsh environments.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) is a psycho-horror film in which a surgeon who has caused the death of a patient is forced to make an ultimate choice by the patient's son, who has mysterious powers. The story is based on the Greek myth of Agamemnon , a tale of revenge for a king who deceived his wife and sacrificed his child for the sake of war. This film reinterprets the story as a modern drama in which a misfortune befalls a confident surgeon, and begins with the lead surgeon and his colleague discussing watches.
In the film, the surgeon played by Colin Farrell wears a Breitling Chronomat 44 (Ref. AB011012 ) whose waterproofness is of particular concern. This watch was created in 2009 by watch designer Eddie Schoffre as a watch that combines elegance and strength. Equipped with Breitling's first fully in-house developed movement, Caliber 01 , this is a watch that watch enthusiasts who are particular about specifications would choose.
summary
What did you think.
Colin Farrell debuted as an idol-like handsome actor, but in recent years he seems to have made a smooth transition into a nice middle-aged actor who combines individuality and sophistication. Nevertheless, the watches he wears in the film are models that exude youth and sexiness, which seems to express his inner passion that is not completely dried up despite his age.

Director Martin McDonagh, whose previous work Three Billboards (2017) was also nominated for many Oscars, has also won numerous accolades in film award races around the world for his new film The Spirit of Innicheline (2023), and with its release on January 27, 2023 approaching, I am filled with nothing but anticipation.
Here are the watches that appeared in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."

In "The Spirit of Innicheline," Colin Farrell plays a man who is at a loss after his longtime best friend suddenly breaks off their friendship. I can't wait to see what kind of performance he will show under the direction of Martin McDonagh, who is adept at portraying complex human relationships with a black humor-filled production. As the story is set on a small island in Ireland in the 1920s, I don't expect many wristwatches to appear, but I'm going to forget about that and enjoy this film.
see you!
