There are many contradictions, such as the title of the perfect world, but if it is perfect, then these will not happen. Two criminals form a makeshift group to escape from prison, but their conflicting personalities lead to the death of the other. The hostage Philip was supposed to be afraid and even hate Butch, but he didn't even want to leave in the end. Because of his father's violent tendencies, Butch frowned when he saw others beating and scolding the child. Later, he broke out with a gun and asked the man to say "I love you" to the child, but in fact, when he stopped other people's violent behavior, he himself become a source of violence. Philip thought Butch was going to kill the man, so he shot him and tried to run away, but then Butch explained to himself that in fact he wouldn't kill him "I've killed two people in my life, one hurt my mom , one hurts you (referring to the other criminal)" (to the effect). PS This sentence is one of the tears! ! ! Butch should have hated his father, abandoned his wife and children and was violent, but he looked happy when he mentioned his father and described the postcards he sent him as "short but sweet". Butch's identity is a criminal, but he doesn't seem to have any characteristics of a criminal except that he will threaten people with a gun, he is polite, can say thank you, does not molest women, has self-control, and is a gentleman in a way, such as Dancing with grandma.
Sally said she was one of two smart people in this case, the other being Butch. And Butch did prove it. From the very beginning, he opposed the idea of a criminal accomplice holding the woman (Philip's mother), and chose to take the little boy.
Smart criminals will use the hostages for their own use, such as Butch in the film, who is already a father role in Philip's eyes, he teaches him to hold a gun, let him make his own decision whether to get in the car or stay in the store, let him sit Imagine a roller coaster on top of the car, teach him how to ask for candy on Halloween, make a list of things he wants to do but can't do, get Philip's mom to say yes during a confrontation with the police, and send his father to him when he's dying A postcard of Alaska gives Philip a chance to go instead of himself.
It is said that there is such a true incident: a criminal takes a woman hostage, and the woman later falls in love with him and helps him escape. It's also a miraculous thing.
The last shot of Butch lying on the grass with one hand on his head, Philip's Halloween mask next to him, seems to be in a deep sleep, quiet and beautiful.
