The name of this film feels inappropriate before watching the film. If you don’t read the introduction, would you think it is a film related to drug trafficking? I thought it was a country movie with an animal theme. If the name of this film is changed to "Drug Mule", it will immediately make people feel very curious, right? Has a mystery to find out. How is the drug transported? The answer is wrong, it's not through animal mules. That's right, by car, what? Make dark compartments in the car. So clever, NO! Don't do any secrets, just put it next to the sundries on the car, this is the old man's style!
Even the mad drug lord directly praised him as "crazy", don't get me wrong, the old man didn't know that the goods he transported were drugs at first, but someone told him that he was paid to help him as a driver. , so he gladly accepted it. In our daily life, when someone asks you for help, we must ask clearly, and we must not touch anything illegal, otherwise the consequences will not only be serious but also difficult to reverse!
The old man in the film is an elderly man in his 90s. He participated in overseas wars when he was young. He has been to forty-one out of twelve states. Not only is his driving skills excellent, his kilometers are long, but most importantly, he has never been ticketed. You must ask: is this true? Yes, although it seems like a miracle, it is absolutely true, because this film is based on real events.
Director Clint Eastwood, 89 years old, directed and acted by himself. Based on the legendary drug-related crime that caused a sensation in the United States in 2011, it tells the story of a bankrupt octogenarian who lives alone and inadvertently becomes a transport for a drug cartel. The story of "The Mule". At such an advanced age, he is still making movies and acting in movies. The two old men in the book are both warriors and have experienced the baptism of war. They are both stubborn and stubborn on the surface, but they are especially kind and warm inside.
The old man in "The Mule" used a car to transport drugs 12 times, and each time the weight was upgraded from dozens of kilograms to more than 100 kilograms, or even more than 200 kilograms, but in the whole process, he did a lot of good deeds. From the very beginning, he earned money for marriage and drinks for his granddaughter, earned money for the activities of the Overseas War Association, and persuaded the anti-drug police to pay attention to the family, and not to end up like his daughter who did not want to see him, and told the small leader of the Mexican drug cartel in a earnest way to stop as soon as possible.
After watching this movie as an audience, a sense of contradiction will arise spontaneously, and I will love and hate the old man. I like his humorous, funny, unrestrained personality, because he has good driving skills, strong business ability, and a large number of drugs, so more people will take drugs, which is not a good thing, especially young people, who are endangered There will be more people.
In court, when the lawyer tried his best to defend the old man, he resolutely confessed his guilt, and his attitude was very good. The daughter's words to her father were meaningful: "We can know where you are, and we will come to see you." The old man also expressed his relief. He said to his daughter, "Time is the most precious thing. He can buy everything, but he can't buy time." Yes, time is precious and fair, for everyone It's the same, but time doesn't go back, so there's no medicine for regret.
Because of his daughter's forgiveness, he was happily in prison again, planting a new variety of red and yellow lilies that he bred. This is an amazing old man. When there are mistakes in his life, he will face the responsibility. When there are regrets, he will try his best to make up for it, and he will be aggressive and optimistic. So please try not to make big mistakes in the long river of life, and it takes time to make up for it, and time cannot be bought.
