Real man, he just tried every means to get things done! No explanation! ! !

1. Love: A fifty-year-old man, the first thing to do when he gets up every day, he takes the initiative to tell his wife that he loves her!

2. Responsibility: In order to feed the family, I did everything (stealing meat).

3. Responsibilities: When he heard that his stepson passed away unexpectedly, he immediately comforted his beloved wife and proceeded with the funeral.

4. Courage: I couldn't afford the funeral expenses of six thousand dollars. I made a mistake and took the funeral expenses of 1,400 dollars donated by neighbors to bet on horses and lost (this is also the courage of men!)

5. Righteousness: A friend won 1.2W dollars in horse racing and returned him 700 dollars. He didn't see a profit in the uprising, so he took the opportunity to borrow money and didn't want to cause trouble to his friends (friends also have a lot of debts to pay), enough friends!

6. Reasonable: Still discussing the installment payment with the owner of the funeral shop, hoping to use the business rules to carry the debt. Even if the stepson's body was thrown downstairs, he didn't trouble the funeral shop owner anymore.

7. Steady: Selling the trucks that make a living to make money (it's nothing! I look desperate!), but when I learned that I was working hard in the bar, I was really wearing a green hat. When I went home and was scolded by my wife, it was just To put it lightly, there is no anger and pressure.

8. No explanation: The community surrounded and beat up the old reporter. He went to persuade him, but his wife happened to see him and thought he was also involved. (The relationship between the two is completely broken, but does not explain!)

In short, a eldest brother tried his best to organize funerals for his stepson and was cucked. Those housewives who often complain that their husbands can’t make a fart should really take a good look at this film and reflect on it! It seems that women prefer to stand on the commanding heights of public opinion through the catharsis of emotions and words, but in fact, the more silent men are, the closer to the truth of life!

God's Pocket quotes

  • [first lines]

    Richard Shellburn: [narrating] The working men of God's Pocket are simple men. They work. They follow their teams. They marry and have children who rarely leave the Pocket. Everyone here has stolen something from somebody else... Or when they were kids, they set someone's house on fire... Or they ran away when they should have stayed and fought. They know who cheats at cards and who slaps their kids around. And no matter what anybody does, they're still here. And whatever they are is what they are. The only thing they can't forgive is not being from God's Pocket.

  • Richard Shellburn: [writing] Until recently, you only had to die once in this city... even if you came from God's Pocket. There was a time when a 23-year-old working man could die once, have the event noticed in his local newspaper, and then move on to his reward without the complications of an additional death. Leon Hubbard's death was reported incorrectly by this newspaper last week. But, then, Leon Hubbard wasn't important.

    Richard Shellburn: Leon Hubbard was like the other working people of God's Pocket: dirty-faced, uneducated, neat as a pin inside. They work, marry, and have children who inhabit the Pocket, often in the homes of their mothers and fathers. They drink at The Hollywood, or the Uptown Bar, little places deep in the city. And they argue there about things they don't understand... politics, race, religion. And in the end, they die like everyone else; leaving their families and their houses and their legends. And there is a dignity in that. We owe Leon Hubbard an apology, and all the people who knew him and loved him and worked with him. If we stop listening to Leon Hubbard's story and all the neighborhood stories like it, eventually the neighborhoods will stop listening to ours.
