The first time I saw a South African film, I felt honored and saw a great film. Watching such a movie can awaken our inner conscience. I think the movie is a great existence to me. When I saw the name of the movie, I thought it was about gangster-themed movies such as "The Godfather", "Once Upon a Time in America", and "The Mafia".
I have strong feelings for black people, even though black people have nothing to do with me. It's a South African movie after all, and it's full of black people. I really like watching movies with a lot of black people. If the protagonist is a black man, I prefer it, such as the classic French comedy film "Untouchable", where the protagonist is a lovely and sincere black man. If we say that the movie "Amazing Flowers" that I watched yesterday, the male protagonist is a gangster who is almost crazy, pitiful and has no end. Then, the male protagonist in the movie "The Gangster" is at most a young man with social problems who has returned to human nature. I may be concerned about Mencius' "Sexual Good Theory" again.
South Africa should be the only developed country in Africa. The environment in which the hero lives is probably the slums on the periphery of high-rise buildings. He and a group of people make a living by robbery. I am very opposed to other people doing criminal things, even being a beggar and a homeless person is better than a burglar. However, how could these bloody and violent young people dare to ignore their dignity? In fact, dignity is a very subjective word. Is self-realization a dignity? Or get money in a decent manner with a certain amount of force? I think everyone has something to say about dignity, but in most cases, the so-called dignity is just living a decent life. I believe that a white-collar worker definitely looks down on a restaurant waiter, let alone a fair look at a homeless person.
The film's male protagonist had a dark-shaded childhood, so he joined the gang. We say that it was his cruel family life that led to the evil consequences of his later crimes, and he has always abided by his brother's loyalty. However, loyalty is much weaker in the face of life and death. He can apologize to Boston after his beating, or kill his buddy Butcher for the life of the baby's father.
In fact, I personally feel that the kindness of the male protagonist is manifested under his ruthless coat. When he was surrounded by police cars and shed tears of repentance, I was extremely sympathetic. The first time he faced a single mother, it was a threatening attitude. The second time I faced a single mother, it was a requesting attitude. He lacks love, and it is easy to produce love. He loves that baby, and he loves single moms. It's just that he can't escape legal sanctions and moral judgment. After all, human mistakes can be big or small. Once a big mistake is made, even if he regrets it, it will be too late.
Is human nature selfish or warm? I really don't understand, I can only say that man is a complex and tangled organism. A little emotional, but also very cold. Affection is to be easier to get along with others, indifference is to be easier to get along with oneself. People can't be sorry to others, and they can't be sorry to themselves. It's all based on conscience.
Damn, I forgot what the hero's name was.
Damn, what is conscience?
