The gun is a weapon of battle; bank robbery refers to the spirit of daring to take risks; escape from prison symbolizes the curse of time escape.
Because no one can escape the pursuit of time, no one can always be beautiful and never grow old, so there is such a romantic fable to the extreme.
When the photos of Robert Redford's life flashed on the silver screen one by one, he watched him go from a beautiful young man full of collagen to a young man in Yushu, from a mature and elegant middle-aged person to today's old age. . . Who wouldn't sigh: Years are killing pigs?
People who can’t read movies will say: The bad guys are getting old. Only people who are beginning to grow old can understand: this kind of meaningless confrontation with time is like robbing a bank and breaking out of prison, but in the imagination and story, it is only tragic and more romantic, because of the agreement. Reluctant to give up is even more touching.
In life, those who are obsessed with creation all their lives, those who work hard, and those who devote themselves to research. . . Including those who love to watch movies and write film reviews, hehe, aren't they all those who try to take risks and defeat the years with all kinds of weapons in their hands? Robbing the bank, what a poetic metaphor; 16 escapes, what a beautiful adult fairy tale.
That 10-year-old boy and girl, TA may not know, there is someone in this world who will miss TA forever. . . The old man who finally exhausted his energy and imagination, the old man who no longer escaped from prison, the old man who completely surrendered to time after robbing the bank four times a day, the Sisyphus in the fairy tale, the man who really lived seriously, "never grows long." Big and never stop growing" you, me and him.
