There are many criminal movies in the West, and bank robbing is one of the main themes. From the movies, I have noticed that compared to other crimes, ordinary people in the West seem to be extra tolerant of bank robbing. It is described as a skill for making a living that has been passed down from generation to generation. I think this is probably related to Western civil rights thinking-private property is sacred and inviolable, including one's own and others'. But the bank property belongs to the state-owned or consortium, and ordinary people obviously don't care too much.
If you are fortunate enough to meet a gentle, elegant, smiling gentleman robber like Forrest Tucker, you will not even be able to develop real hatred for him. Perhaps, as a stakeholder, you will Give birth to a little sympathy, a little surprise. Forrest Tucker’s story is adapted from real events. From the age of 13 to over 70, he made a living from crime (mainly bank robbery). It is described in Chinese culture. He is a person who "advanced in technology", What he enjoys is not the wealth obtained from the bank, but the self-realization and self-transcendence brought about by the process of robbery, hunting, escape and escape.
This story makes me feel sad, it is the kind of sadness that is slow, deep, like water dripping from the wall in humid weather.
I can't help thinking about what kind of family and childhood a person has to go through to embark on such a path of self-realization through destruction. Detective John said to the old man: "People like you don't need to make a living by robbing banks." Indeed, I never doubt the success of Forest Tucker on any other path. , Such as starting a business and becoming a successful entrepreneur. However, he chose to commit a crime, and before he chose to settle for the first time, he must have planted a bitter fruit that we can't see.
Forrest Tucker has a wife who has been abandoned for many years and still loves and admires him deeply. He has a 70-year-old soul mate who meets admiration by chance. For the seventeenth time, he failed to escape from prison. I thought he would spend peace from now on. In his peaceful old age, but on a sunny day, he chose to return to his old career. The woman who loves him and the woman he loves can't keep his withered heart. His smile was polite, but what I saw was a breath of life. Only through crime can he find the feeling of being alive.
In my opinion, native family and childhood growth are the topics that should be discussed most behind this "Old Man and Gun".
