"Play the heavy" nghĩa là gì?

"Play the heavy" = Chịu trách nhiệm gánh nặng -> Phải làm việc khó/phần hóc búa khi không ai chịu làm; làm những gì cần thiết mặc dù nó rất rắc rối và phiền não.

Ví dụ
"There is going to have to be a compromise," said a former senior U.S. official familiar with the issue who spoke on condition of anonymity (tình trạng giấu tên; tình trạng nặc danh). "The question is whether (the Afghan sides) can do it themselves or America has to play the heavy."

Fortunately, Wisconsin has a firewall against the spread of the tire fires from LA’s ever-growing Skid Row. Finally recognizing the failures of soft-on-crime prosecutors, judges, court commissioners and, of course, Governor Evers (who promised on the campaign trail to reduce the state’s prison population by half), Assembly Republicans on Tuesday passed a series of bills designed to force these self-styled “good guys” to finally play the heavy.

Quick listening pays off in some deadpan (bộ mặt ngây ra bất động) one-liners that might otherwise sneak by, although most of them can’t be repeated here. The “c-word” most frequently used in the film is not ‘cash,’ and is rarely a term of affection. There is even a Miramax gag. Too soon? Only you can decide. It’s rare for McConaughey to play the heavy, and he seems to relish the opportunity. But then most of the actors seem to really enjoy delivering these lines and wearing these clothes…well except for Colin Farrell’s tracksuits and spectacles! Certainly this one isn’t for the masses, and undoubtedly people will be offended. This is what happens when you make Guy Ritchie play nicely for a decade.
