Honestly wrong, kind and guilty

Some movies can only be appreciated by certain groups of people, such as "Inflatable Doll Love" in 2007, "Traveler" in 2008, and this year's "Henry's Crimes". Despite its slow pace and lack of climax, it It is to interpret the inner world of people like us, and it becomes quite resonant. What kind of people are we? Home, sorrowful, old solid wood, being bullied, don’t know how to fight back, go with the crowd and resign to fate...So when I saw the protagonist’s honest and simple behavior approaching stupidity, I was deeply aware that that was my true face, no matter where I was. How talkative and passionate the online world is, and how to smile and get along with others in the real world can't change the nature of people like us. Although being such a person does not make oneself happy, he is just lazy, unable to change, and silently bears everything that life gives you. However, when the protagonist has been in prison for three years and his wife remarried, he suddenly awakened-I can no longer live so mediocrely. No one is naturally willing to be ordinary, but ideals are always difficult to pursue. After a long time, they will give up when they see no hope. However, under the stimulation of life changes, the protagonist has set an unwavering life goal: to grab the bank. Because three years of unjustified prison can't sit in vain, and if he is accused of robbing the bank, he must rob him once in order to be mentally balanced. This is not revenge, nor is it trying to prove that I am great, but to tell myself that I also have the meaning of living. When several guys who had their own lives got together and started to dig a tunnel to steal money, when the protagonist fell in love again, his ideals had to be adjusted temporarily. Isn’t it just the ideal of the protagonist to take a big ticket and bring the beauty away?
