I'm old, but I'm not a waste

This retired veteran, he is stubborn, he is arrogant, such a role in the movie can be regarded as a relatively classic model. At the beginning of the film, there is no image of his wife at the funeral of his wife, but it is not difficult to imagine that his wife must be a gentle and understanding wife who loves Walt deeply. His children, his grandchildren, and I don’t have any good impressions either. Of course, this kind of indifference in the family relationship is caused by both sides, but for this family who likes a vampire who wants to drain your last drop of blood, I just want to Smoke them, no more feelings.
Regarding Walter’s Hmong neighbors, they can understand each other and love each other. The reason is simple. They treat each other as human beings, not old garbage. Please drink a bottle of wine, which is far more than sending it. What kind of big digital phone of your kind, forcing you to go to the nursing home as soon as possible, we are okay, the warmth that we need to divide up the wealth will melt a cold heart even more. When parents are old and weak, treating them like "mentally handicapped children" is not caring, but talking with them sincerely. No matter how busy I am at work and no matter how much entertainment I have, I don’t believe that it would be so difficult to make a phone call at home every week and chat like a friend. Generation gap? It's all nonsense, how can you know if you haven't tried it? Even if you feel that you can’t communicate with your parents in your life, you can always communicate about their lives and their thoughts, right?
The last scene was really too tragic. Walter's behavior was beyond my expectation. In fact, I don't know how to solve it all. There are many problems in this world that we can’t solve. Even if it’s the problem described in the film, those gangs will come out of prison one day. At that time, Tao and his family need to face this together. Special is gone. He didn't tell us the most well-known solution, but there is at least one. Using violence to control violence will never solve the problem. This is the root!
At the end of the film, when the lawyer announces his will, he will look at the hunger and thirst of Walter's family until finally his greed fails. Think about Walter's heart might have a mocking smile when he writes the will, haha. .
It may not be your family that educates your growth and the meaning of life. Those who are not related by blood will also let us understand or adhere to some commendable human creeds. The important thing is what is good in life, not who teaches it. All of you. No matter when and where, don't give up those beautiful beliefs because of changes in the environment. This is commendable, and this is what we should stick to, right?
Finally, let me talk about some Clint Eastwood. He is not the kind of Prince Charming that will make people fall in love at first sight, but as you watch him appear in more and more movies, as you watch his directors more and more The more you get, the more you can't help but be full of deep respect for him. Whether as an actor or a director, he has brought us so much. He is an excellent filmmaker who uses his heart to figure out roles and films. I am an insignificant person, but I still use my sincere heart to offer my lofty respect to you, you really bring too many movie viewers, thank you.

    [B] Calm but unusually powerful. In the first half of the story, the story unfolds in a very slow way, without any shortcomings or highlights, which made me feel that the whole film is like this for a while; however, until the end, although it is still as calm as ever, it hides a very strong power under the calm. . The story is very similar to "Million Dollar Baby". There are anti-routines hidden under the routine, but although the ending can still be guessed, the ending is still very shocking. Dongmu is simply too charming. His unique temperament and ruffian spirit make the whole film full of sadness, and the themes of life and death are also profound in the film. Dongmu's performers and directors are rare all-rounders and experienced. I hope Dongmu, who is 89 years old, will live a long life.

    To be honest, this film is not superior in Dongmu's work; the script is not flattering, such as the priest character who disappeared for most of the time and appeared in a timely manner; many characters are drawn too hard, and the ending picture is almost absurd; but I still like this movie, and I am even touched; the old man is really badass; from the fistful to the veteran, it is complete
