we forgot something

I think, should we wake up a little bit, we're a little bit confused

Okay, you've seen the bad lieutenant story, and I think everyone from the writers, the directors, the actors, to everyone who watches the movie, will appreciate McDonagh , yes, he is a bad lieutenant, surrounded by beauty, gambling, drugs and violence, but in the end he can practice justice, "for the innocent child who died, perhaps for the moral feeling in his heart."

Because of America's respect for human nature , respecting the imperfections of each person, so the complete exposure of human nature makes us feel very valuable. The shortcomings of human nature (of course the advantages are indispensable) are fully displayed. So, at the end of the day, McDonagh is a real guy, bad lieutenant, good cop.

However, when we criticize our own environment, those mainstream public opinions that promote perfect human nature are more and more skeptical. Should we think about it, we seem to have forgotten something.

I find our eyes full of admiration when the bad lieutenant gambles, commits violence, takes drugs, etc., just because he shows the flaws of human nature? Should we identify with him? In the case that followed, he performed his police duties and practiced justice. But should we acquiesce and tolerate the crimes before him?

So who will pay for those who are bullied, extorted, and extorted by him? Those people didn't do anything wrong, so, in fact, there was a person who did a lot of bad things, and finally did a relatively big good thing, and he was praised and promoted. But fault is fault, he did not pay for the bad things he did. The big bad guys were punished, but the interests of some citizens were violated. Did we forget them?

The imperfect display of American nature makes us feel that their public opinion and discussion environment are open, but we seem to be overly chasing this imperfection, maybe it is really lacking, but is theirs really good?

The image of the black cat sheriff is just an animation for children. I don't think there is much problem in shaping him to be brighter. After all, it is better to show all kinds of dark sides slowly. Otherwise you will lose confidence.
