In the film, all the hostages also think he is a good guy. He's just a cornered father, not a kidnapper. But not everyone thinks so, at least not the police chief who shot him. All he cares about is whether he can be re-elected, the life of the kidnappers or even the lives of the hostages is irrelevant. The same is true of the reporter, who only cares whether he can win the Golden Bell Award for this report. Just care about your own interests.
So, is he a kidnapper or a good guy?
At least I think, if I were him, I'm afraid that's all I can do. He didn't intend to hurt anyone in the first place, there was no bullet in the gun, he just wanted to save his son's life. If he is really a kidnapper, why can he let them go unconditionally? If he is really a kidnapper, how can he become a hero in the minds of the hostages?
Is he a kidnapper or a good guy? Frankly, I don't know. There is no absolute right or wrong in the world, and there is no standard for judging right and wrong. But at least we can't regret everything we do. Needless to say, John had no regrets, because he had saved his son's life, so he had no regrets.
Thinking of my own life from this, every day is either busy or idle, and it seems that I have never thought about whether I will regret it. Maybe there were some brief complaints, but I won't regret it, because every step is taken by myself. Once you have made up your mind, you don't need to look back, you can just forge ahead towards the goal.
This film is more like "When Happiness Comes Knocking", which is also the story of two poor families getting out of their predicament, but it seems to be more touching. Parents are always willing to do anything for their children. Two days ago was my mother's birthday. Although it has already passed, I still want to say, Mom and Dad, I love you.
