Be your own saint

Typical American film, ordinary life of little people. The saint in the eyes of a little boy and the old scum of ordinary people. Betting on horses, drinking alcohol, stealing things, prostitution (also like pregnant prostitutes with belly belly), and idleness every day, but behind these phenomena, what kind of past does this old scumbag have? A veteran who bravely killed the enemy and rescued his comrades in arms, washed clothes for his wife who was already demented for eight years, sent his old wife to the best nursing care institution, and helped the neighbors to take care of the children, although it was a fee-based service. Actively recovering after a stroke, no matter how lonely in life, but never give up. Such an old scum is a person who has really lived. What is a saint is like a little boy quoting the teacher, a person who can sacrifice himself to serve others and never give up. Saints are not perfect people, they can live very freely and very self-consciously. At the end of the film, the old man himself plays with the water pipe in the yard leisurely and comfortably, whatever he wants, even if there is no lawn in the yard, even if the chair is broken, the heart of freedom is created by himself.
