three old gunmen
The film is played by three famous actors, Michael Caine, who is known to those who watch Nolan films, the quintessential English gentleman. Morgan Freeman, another very famous actor, has acted in many classic movies. The last one is also a familiar face, but I don't know the name.
The three old people are living in poverty, one house is going to be taken away by the bank, one needs a kidney transplant, and one doesn't see clearly what difficulties he has.
Witnessed a bank robbery and thought this one was quick, quick and safe. So after experiencing the difficulties of life, they decided to rob a bank. The other person who had no difficulties and nothing, was the one of the three who didn't want to do it.
The three of them are somewhat similar to the old people in real life. They are too old to be the protagonists in the movie. The movie mostly shows the life of young people and the world of young people. This is true of both film and literature. I have lived my whole life with little money left to live on. No creativity, no ability to work. Without attention, life is suffering.
The difference between them is that when they were young, they earned enough money to live on. The movie uses a relaxed tone to talk about the difficult life.
At first I thought they were agents before, like Nimrenson, but they were just ordinary people. Decided to rob the bank, there must be an experiment, so the three went to the supermarket for a funny internship. Trembling, as if it were about to fall at any moment.
Interestingly, they have a requirement for the amount of the robbery. It's those pensions that should belong to them. Seeing how hard it is to steal food in the supermarket, only by finding a partner and training them can you be a big responsibility.
The night before the robbery, the two watched a robbery movie, "Afternoon on a Dog Day" played by Al Pacino, which was very classic. A movie within a movie that doesn't end well enough. Not sure if it mirrors their ending.
Robbing a bank in the United States needs to be accurate to the second. If someone presses the alarm, the police will arrive in two or three minutes. First of all, their robbery is a physical problem, and their hands and feet are not easy, and it is troublesome to be seen as an old man.
In the car, they changed bullets, all of which were empty shells, leaving a lot of loopholes in the robbery. If there was too much, they even chatted with the little girl. When they wanted to squat down and chat, they almost didn't fall down due to physical reasons. It's the little girl who helped call people, and there's a reason for that. He has a granddaughter who has not seen each other for many years, so when he sees the little girl, he will be very kind.
The mask was almost lifted by the little girl, saying that you were not feeling well, it was too tiring. Missing half of the face, which is also a loophole. There will always be loopholes in the implementation of the plan.
The middle and the bank manager shoot each other at gunpoint. That part is very interesting, because the man shot at the three and missed. Later, the police quickly got clues. The most important thing was that the last time he stole something from the supermarket and was reported, he saw the unique running posture of one of them and compared the video of the bank.
It looks like the evidence is solid, but the United States has a problem, it has a lot of trust in the law. If there is no evidence, no conviction can be made. It seems that the proof of their absence is perfect.
Later, when the police looked for the robbery, the little girl who was talking to the bank went to identify it. Morgan Freeman was wearing a watch with his granddaughter's head when he robbed, which is another flaw. But the flaw became a place to express emotions, and the little girl saw the watch. But he was not identified, because he was too old and weak, and his attitude towards her was still so good.
This also expresses the theme of the film, it is our responsibility to take care of the elderly. The helper they turned to, the one who helped train, was also a robber that Michael Caine encountered. To make sense, the tattoo on his neck was gone during the robbery. Kane asked him where did your tattoo go? The answer is to draw attention with the strongest image so that he can forget about the other details.
In Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, there are many words similar to this. What I think of now is not honoring the virtuous, so that the people do not compete. Not expensive and rare goods, so that the people will not be thieves. There is another saying, wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. With the virtuous, everyone wants to get the virtuous, and will inevitably fall into a situation of competition, and there will be class differences.
It can be used in both positive and negative ways. Sometimes people behave abnormally, but it is to cover up the side that they do not want to be discovered. People are attracted to the most obvious and ignore other things.
People who are too tall are more jealous, and those who live in a clean world are equally disgusted. It's easy to be jealous if you're taller, but not if you're too tall. Or rather, hidden deeper. Envy is at its peak when people can get it. If you can't reach it, it will push you up.
