#老人和枪[电影]# A not too high-quality movie, barely finished watching. The actor's elegance is still there, and the theme of the expression is also clear. Under Western values, the meaning of life has been repeatedly scrutinized, and it is the same in every movie. Many of them I have not described. The emptiness and loss are full of thoughts after eating, but there are often no conclusions and limitations of the system. Therefore, it is rare for a 13-year-old to understand the value of life. He used stealing and robbery as his pleasure. He struggled for it until he was 74 years old. He had more than 100 criminal records, 16 times in prison and escaped from prison. Defined as a bad guy. In the play, the heroine, the old lady trusted and tolerant, finally accepted the old robber with dream thinking, not good or bad, and made him feel for the first time that someone else understands what he did and fell into a love affair. The 17th escape was on parole. After returning home to rest, after kissing the old lady, he went out to continue the robbery, smiled at every bank, and robbed four banks in one day. End of the play. In the end, there are too few people in the world who dare to pursue their own dreams. There is no right or wrong in dreams. Most people are only pursuing interests, which are distortions of dreams. Therefore, the old people’s thinking is actually reasonable, and smiling is even more correct. When you do it every day, you are interested. How can you be unhappy?

The Old Man & the Gun quotes

  • Jewel: 'Cause you think about... ten years from now, where will you be, what'll you be doing? Now, whenever I close the door, I think: "Oh, is this the last time I'll ever have a chance to do whatever that thing was?"

    Forrest Tucker: You know what I do when the door closes?

    Jewel: What's that?

    Forrest Tucker: I jump out the window.

  • Forrest Tucker: If I ever wonder what I'm doing or where I'm going, I just think to myself: "Is that little kid I was when I was just about this tall," I say, "well now, would he have been proud of me?" And if the answer is "no", well then I just keep walking on through. But if the answer is "yes", then I know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.

    Jewel: So is he proud of you? That little boy?

    Forrest Tucker: Oh, he's getting closer every day.

    Jewel: But you're never exactly where you're supposed to be, are you? I mean, 'cause if you are, you're dead. And little ten year-old you, he's... y'know, he might have hopes and dreams, but he doesn't understand time or the world like you do. So, I think you gotta keep on keeping on, just living your life, trying new things, just gotta keep on pushing.
