I like this type of movie, I have an aftertaste after watching it, director + screenwriter + actor, like it!
In such a film, you can not only see the story itself, but also the true meaning of life behind the metaphors. I believe that people with understanding will understand the true meaning of the underworld without having to experience the underworld in person... And I believe that most people like me, You still have to have a little bit of your own life experience to understand the essence of this film.
Most people cannot avoid being forced by material things first, and then take risks to live a luxurious but sinful life. The hidden dangers behind the flashy lust are always threatening and persecuting. They know that something will happen sooner or later, but they are lucky to play tricks , seems to be having fun while waiting for the ultimate moment - jail...
This story is not old-fashioned, because the truth is even more old-fashioned than the acting. The friend who betrayed you must have been in the underworld with you, because if he wants to escape from jail, he must confess to you. In order to cover himself up, he has to Placing the blame on your woman makes you doubt and distrust your closest and most trusted lover... It turns out that there are only a handful of people around you who are closest and trusted: Dad, Faxiao, classmates, and lovers. They will not betray you, because they have true feelings for you, and they will not be threatened by their personal safety because of their close relationship with you. They are not involved in the underworld or commit crimes. They stand in the "white" and will not face it. The choice of life and death betrayal... But the buddy who is completely in the "black" is different. As long as he is a little cowardly, for self-protection, and lacks a little responsibility, you will be confessed... This is the most essential of black and white. Difference, the old adage to advise people to "do not do evil for small things, and do not do good things for small things" is by no means a lofty empty talk.
In the film, as well as the male protagonist, one is the boss of the underworld. The boss was imprisoned at the age of 14. He has served three prisons in three different countries. His way of living is completely "black". It is also all "black". Those who can be black bosses choose to be black to the end... The other is the father of the male protagonist. Since then, you have changed your face and lived a different life, the life of a very ordinary ordinary people, and the joy of family life... This implication is: when you are half-footed in hell, God has given you the last chance, and the premise of being redeemed is male. The Lord has a responsibility and is ready to go to jail. Here, we must pay tribute to Boss Bai! The male protagonist did not live up to his father's painstaking efforts, and his two feet finally walked on the road in the world...
Ordinary truth, ordinary life, the right choice, I think this is what this film wants to tell us.
