Would I be willing to die for TA because I love ____?

"Pirate Radio" is estimated to have watched almost everything. I think everyone should give themselves a fill-in-the-blank question after reading it: Will I be willing to die for TA because I love ____? My answer is: there is no such thing and no such person. If I had to be hypocritical, the answer might be parents and family members. I envy those who have beliefs and ideals and can die for these things at any time, and I am no longer such a person. Therefore, compared with things like having no money and getting old, having no beliefs and ideals is the most fearful thing. I said why I am uneasy every day. Nice music, funny lines, a good-looking British face, and a perfect ending. It looks like an entertainment film, but what's the difference between it and a sap that hits my heart? The cruelest thing is that most people cannot change the wandering state of being enslaved by reality for a while, except to touch the raised bump, to support themselves, credit cards, houses, cars and even a family, no longer standing upright. The age when he raised his middle finger and said, "Fuck you", then turned his head dashingly and walked away. Never lived in the era of pirate DJs, nor can we return to our own past. Even Nicholas Tse, who sang the hot-blooded quatrain "You're too young to touch anyone is like a wafer", is not as sharp as it used to be. The greatest contribution of "Pirate Radio" to me is to remind us once again that reality is always not what we want, but at least there is music. ROCK N ROLL is not for rock and roll, but for yourself. Many times, many things, you can't convince yourself, then let music convince you.

Quentin: There is a huge hole in the side of the boat and in an unfortunate development, it transpires that the lifeboats are useless.
Thick Kevin: [to Angus] Actually, that's quite good for you, isn't it? 'Cause you can't swim, so you'll die quicker.
