Henry just wanted to live another life

This kind of film definitely fails censorship in China.
There is no condemnation of the crime, but a faint description of how a person was wrongly imprisoned, and after being released from prison, he planned to dig tunnels and outsmart banks with a few people. Finally succeeded.
After reading it, I was puzzled. I couldn't understand that the actor was tricked into driving by his high school classmates. At the moment of arrest, he found out that his classmates were going to rob, but he did not excuse him and did not confess his accomplices. He was jailed for three years. It is also impossible to understand that a talent and a woman have met each other, and they will tell the story about the bank robbery.
The protagonist is introverted and deep, even dull, you can't figure out his true emotions, and even you look a little flustered. Why would he rob a person like this? There is a passage in the play that cannot be forgotten:
00:47 "You keep watching other people go everywhere, but you stay where you are" (the male protagonist is a toll collector)
01:05 "Then why do you do it?" (robbing the bank)
I was obedient to everything before. I didn't know I could change things. Now, I want to change.
It turned out to be a different kind of life.
