He didn't deserve it, at least not his life.

At the beginning of the movie, when I didn’t know why Boy A had to conduct the dialogue so cautiously, I even thought that Andrew Garfield had acted a little too much. The slightly hesitant and indecisive look made me feel deliberate for a while, but slowly At the end, I fell in love with his performance. Therefore, it is not surprising that social networks and Spider-Man will find him.
As I wrote in the short film review, people always ignore your good and always remember your bad. Not to mention the labeled "bad guys" like Jack. Even in our daily life, we are not immune. For example, a colleague will only remember that you didn't help him one time and worry about it, but he would have taken the other ten times long ago. Helping out was completely forgotten. In fact, Jack in the movie does not look like a "bad guy" at all. He looks calm and cute, smiles shyly and full of childishness, has buddies, girlfriends, and counselors who care for him like a father, and even become a hero. You If he insists on what is not good about him, he may be a little sensitive and not very fond of talking. The whole movie is 106 minutes. If you are not spoiled, you might think that this is an inspirational movie when you see 60 minutes, a typical story of the prodigal son returning to the gold without changing his head, let alone Jack, even me, the audience is right. His future life is full of hope. But movies are like life. When it’s good, it’s always good. Once you fall, you’ll never stand up again. The secret that Jack took care of seemed to become a thing everyone knew in an instant, and everyone left him. , He could no longer face everyone, he chose to leave.
It seems that in religion, people always believe in karma. If Jack finally chooses to commit suicide because of the mistake of the year, is it the so-called "retribution for evil" in the eyes of the public? But the "wicked man" presented to us in the movie was so beautiful that I felt so sympathetic and unbearable for his death. He should not bear this terrible result. Because at least the theory in my mind tells me that there are no absolute bad people and good people in the world. Every individual has its own complexity and cannot be generalized. Just like that day when I saw a legal program report on a corpse murderer on TV, I wrote a long story about how cruel the murderer was and how the police worked so hard to catch the prisoner through various clues, but when I knew why the murderer was When killing someone, I actually sympathized with him a little bit, in fact, his appearance is not terrible at all, just like the kind of honest construction workers you can see on various construction sites, because the dead have accumulated his blood and sweat for many years. After the money was defrauded and refused to pay back, they were unintentionally beaten to death by the murderer because of a quarrel. I saw here that the deceased was not unjustly killed at all, but the murderer had to pay a great price for it. In fact, I think The saddest thing about him is not murder, but ignorance. If you believe in fate, you can only blame him for having bad luck and meeting the dead. Just like Jack, the saddest thing about him is not killing, but a series of negative influences during his growth that led to this result. If Jack needs to repay this result, then who should pay for this series of influences? The fact is that the public is always too harsh on the parties. They don’t care about what caused these results. They also use the worst language on them to discourage them from squeezing them, so that they may not even have a very deep heart. Evil people finally believe that they are the heinous person they say.
Trust is a luxury and risky thing, so more people choose not to believe them, and it is difficult for them to believe that others will look at them without colored glasses. And such a vicious circle will continue to stage various tragedies in this world. and I? Powerless to stop powerless intervention, you can only choose to be indifferent. I think this is the scariest place.
Here I always call the actor Jack, because this is the person he hopes to be, brave, sunny, firm, and beautiful.


PS: Maybe my opinion is too one-sided, but what I want to say is that countless Jacks have already paid for their mistakes. Although many times can't believe it, please give some tolerance.
PPS: The sentence in the little girl's letter This is your knife, this is your wing. 泪奔~~
