"Can't jump in the queue, can't traffic in drugs, can't molest children, can't bully others. This is the rule of the ages, and it has not changed."
Frank in the movie "Super" became a chivalrous man wearing a red weird outfit for this ideal. Hero.
He was a cowardly person. He was timid and did not dare to confront others. He lived under the ridicule of others all his life. He met Sara, a girl who used to take drugs. After they got married, Sara was with another man again. Frank was devastated and beaten up while looking for his wife. He had an illusion, thinking that the world needed him to be a hero.
He wore a weird outfit and took a wrench to attack the bad guys every night.
In the process, he gave up, but rekindled his courage. He met a girl who had the same ideals as her, Billie. They want to save the "world" together. They gradually have feelings. But Flac insisted to save his wife Sara. In the process, Billie was shot to death.
Frank rescued his wife. Four months later, Sara left him and later learned that she was married and had children. Frank often wondered, maybe if he didn't save her that night, would he and Billie also have children. Those who are chivalrous and righteous get only pain.
"You can't jump in the queue, you can't sell drugs, you can't molest children, you can't bully others. These are the norms for the ages and have not changed." This is Frank's last statement to the criminals. The world is already filthy, oppressing goodness, hurting justice, and filling the gaps of formal laws with sinful deeds. No one has the courage to do what is right, and everyone ignores it.
The criminal asked Frank: Kill me, stab me, can you change the world?
Frank: I'm not sure, but I want to try.
Frank often wondered afterwards, if I didn't go that night, would Billy and I's children change the world... Well, maybe.
Frank is not a coward, it is certain.
