go through fire and water

Going through fire and water, this American highway gangster film, was refreshing and unexpected for me. The advantage of the movie is that it is neither from the standpoint of justice nor from the standpoint of the villain, but only objectively tells the story of a bottom-level person changing his destiny in his own way. In reality, there are contradictions that make it difficult for us to choose. People are a contradiction. If you look at the problem with the standpoint theory, people are not real. The essence of a police and gangster film is a stimulating experience, and it is unsatisfactory if it does not give people a real feeling. So although I haven't seen an American police and gangster movie before, I think this movie is very successful.
The United States has American history and humanities. At least in this film, the author is obviously in favor of guns. If the people do not have the ability to resist the government, then who will decide the democracy? Complete democracy does not exist, and justice does not always suppress evil. Shouldn't the fate of some people be in their own hands? The protagonist finally revealed his motive for the robbery: the poor family cannot escape the curse of poverty for generations. Isn't the injustice of the social system a sin? Is it not a kind of justice to seek happiness for future generations?
On the surface, the movie is about two brothers who rob a bank and hold unarmed men at gunpoint. In essence, in my opinion, the people at the bottom who have no wealth or power on the opposite side are the ones who are being coerced. The big bank capital uses the social system to coerce the helpless poor people. There is a fearless fighting spirit in the film, which is undeniably heartening.
In the process of chasing the culprit, the police and the bandits battled each other's wits and courage, and the scene was intense. The police brought people of different personalities together because of their common belief in maintaining justice and peace, and the two robbers committed crimes together because of their deep and unfeigned brotherhood. Life and death seem to be nothing in front of feelings, and feelings seem to be nothing in front of beliefs. The layers of sublimation finally make the audience feel at ease for the successful result of the robbers - this is the biggest success of the police and gangster films.
