Four college students living in Kentucky intend to do a "big thing" to change their "banal" lives.
Life did not treat them badly, and gave them a suitable opportunity to approach the "big event."
The school library contains valuable ancient books, and the caretaker is just an older female librarian.
So the four boys decided to steal the book and sell it for a good price. This is the "big thing".
The fact is of course not as smooth as expected. The process of theft was simply a farce. They were embarrassed and had almost nothing. They stole a few small books before they could sell the stolen goods and were arrested one by one by the police.
This is a real thing that happened.
This movie seems to be a story of a group of stupid thieves who failed to steal, but on the other hand, it is actually a story of disillusionment and fragmentation. The illusion of success and extraordinary in youth, the obsession of becoming famous overnight and getting rich overnight, is carefully planning. After many days, it turned into a bubble, leaving only the truest face of life. In the end, they understood that the saying "You are unique and extraordinary" they received from an early age might not be completely believed. "You are no different."
Although the whole process is very absurd, it is because of the absurdity that it is even more shocking.
Four young people in small towns, bored in the originally peaceful life, finally planned such a plunder, and ultimately failed.
It should be said to be a fiasco. If it succeeds, it will be a screen legend like "Now You See Me" and "Eleven Angry Men", but they have failed, and 99.99% of them will fail. , Because the real world is like this. Whether you plan to go the right way or commit a crime, it’s not so easy to become "not mediocre." They chose the wrong path. The so-called mistake is actually crossing the established red line, and that red line, In my opinion, it is when all people are calm, when the whole world is calm, it is reduced. Any normal person has no ability or belief to break through, so those who can break through these red lines are called criminals. Those who did not do it were still ordinary people, and even more embarrassing, because they tried to achieve something in a way that was contrary to common sense, and even planned to abandon morals and commit a crime of peace of mind, but in the end they didn’t even do it. arrive.
It turns out that it is so difficult to be a thorough "bad guy". From this point of view, this is a "Don Quixote" crime.
But here is the shock of "American Animals". They originate from a belief that is unique to youth. They firmly believe in what can be achieved. During the whole planning process, they are so happy, so enjoyable, and life really becomes After an adventure, just look at it alone and live up to your youth.
Everyone’s youth will do stupid things, will do decent things, and finally get nothing, will understand some truths. The most sad thing is that those truths are meaningful to individuals, but they are not meaningful to the world. , Because this world does not need those principles, because this world does not need to reconcile with us, so people will always grow up, and only people who understand evolution.
I don’t want to discuss crimes. I just want to discuss how young people grow up. If this world doesn’t need to be out of the ordinary, how do we spend our youth, not only to spend it, but also to spend it wonderfully. To live up to our youth, and at the same time to live in safety, to stay enthusiasm, because we are still young, but also to stay sensible, because we have to grow up, we have to take the right path, because we can’t make mistakes, or be unwilling to take the right path, because we Be extraordinary.
If you don't pay attention, you will become a salted fish, and if you overdo it, you will become a criminal.
It's really hard to be a good young person.
The shock of "American Animals" is the kind of shock that is close to the true nature of life. The four of them have regained their lives after receiving 7 years of imprisonment. This is very admirable. If there is nothing to say about crime, Admire, it should be worthy of admiration to go back to normal life, but what is worthy of normal life? Because there is only one kind of warrior in the world, and that is, those who live on with faith after seeing the true face of life.
As a result, the whole world is so dull, great everywhere, but just ordinary.
