It ’s common to see Latin phrasal idiom in picture and TV shows , such asTheHandmaid ’s Tale ’s Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum , because they ’re often colloquialism dress in grim - tie . Deus Velox Nex is a insidious way to let on the consequences of the god - killer . However , the context of the movie suggests that the signification may be more heavy . As it turns out in the story , the pits is a place of unvarying suffering which is the true punishment of life-time , not death . Milton quickly strike that by killing his enemies , he evoke the perpetual torment upon them , fulfill his retaliation .
The bullet inscription is a telling objet d’art toDrive Angryand makes a surface - level movie a little more conceptual . The estimation of suffering is more often than not bear on to torment and abuse or else of a quick expiry . Some picture show andTV shows aim for the most violent approach path , concentrating on agony before death . However in this narrative , a quick demise means a warm way of life to the imperishable torment , so Milton waste no time eliminating his foes . Another key point to the story is that the god - killer can ultimately make someone disappear as if they never were and never will be at all . There is no heaven or hell for them , only complete nonexistence . Milton remind The Accountant ( William Fichtner ) of this as he threatens to take his life . If the bullet can put down an immortal and make them go away from cosmos all , it will sure as shooting do the trick for humanity as well .
Somemovies integrate brutal torturing scene , butDrive Angrydoesn’t go quite to that extent . Instead , the motion-picture show create an musical theme of the afterlife for those who have done wrong in the world , focusing on the whimsey of misery , and toy on the emotion of love . While the Romance phrase on the bullet does n’t add much to the plot , it does allow for an interesting analysis into expiry , suffering , and their coefficient of correlation .
