John's will to die is hard to understand. His death is understandable for the purpose of advancing the plot, etc., but his giving away in vain is incomprehensible. Esme hides in the house to avoid being shot? Are these killers so casual? All in all, John's way of dying was so random and illogical.
However, Jhon is still my favorite male character in the film, and this review just commemorates the cutest Jhon. By the way, my favorite character in the whole article is the Russian Duchess
This is an idol drama version of a gangster movie . The three brothers of the shaved head party are so handsome. Although the logic of the plot is somewhat unreasonable, the script basically conforms to the historical facts and the characters' actions are reasonable. There are still many foreshadowings, so Even with some "idol halo", it is still a good drama. My favorite among the three brothers is the third John. Among the three brothers, Tommy is undoubtedly the smartest and most skillful, but the eldest and third brothers are the most romantic. The third brother, John, contributed most of the jokes of the show. He is indeed the most "stupid", or The most "simple".
In the first three episodes of the first season, John didn't have many scenes, but only in the fourth episode, which is also the famous scene "John out of the jam". In the fourth episode, added the most personal information of john, married and widowed, with four children. Although my favorite part of this season is the "Really Fragrant" scene where jhon marries esme, what makes me really like john is his relationship with Lizzy.
In the pre-episode part of the fourth episode, John proposes that he is engaged to Lizzie, doesn't mind her past, and doesn't allow anyone to mention the fact that she used to be a prostitute. Even though he has fought so many times on the battlefield, he is still like an innocent boy in terms of the relationship between men and women, and he firmly believes that Lizzie is already good.
(Here's a paragraph about Lizzie, Lizzie is also a character I like very much, but in this show the person she loves is Tommy, not John, she knows John is a good person and a good object, but not really for him Consistent, but with deceit and concealment, there is a mentality of "fishing for Kaizi". Because she really did "conformity" later, not for John, but for Tommy.
Tommy told her to be good, and when John asked the same, she chose to cheat. Some people interpret this as Tommy offering her a job, but it's a bit superficial to think that, because when she was with John, if she asked John for money, John would give it. Money shouldn't be the main factor, mainly because she doesn't have that much affection and loyalty to John.
When Tommy wanted her to seduce the officer, she said, "It wasn't that hard to make no exceptions before, do you know why?" After seeing Tommy's absent-mindedness, she didn't continue to confess. In this section, I really feel sorry for Lizzy, Tommy is full of only Grace, ignoring Lizzie's sincerity, and still treats her as a "prostitute". After that, he also existed as a "sexual partner" by Tommy's side. The person who treats Lizzy the most is actually John, and the one who matches the most is also John, but unfortunately Lizzie doesn't love him. )
What moved me the most was the last episode of the second season, the conversation between John and Lizzie. John was the first to see that she was very worried. John thought that Lizzie was greedy for money and then came out to pick up customers and was beaten. Reassure her by saying, " Did you just go back to your old business? I think you made some money at the races too (to make more money is understandable), and it has to stop here (really can't do this anymore.) now), it 's time to stop ." " Tommy already told you (don't do this again)" (here Lizzie pushes John away as soon as Tommy hears Tommy, she's really sad that Tommy still treats her like a prostitute , and did not do what he promised to protect her in general, but caused her to be raped) " The dude at the jockey is the worst (although rich, but not worth it)" " Happy, we won, we are ruthless I taught the Londoners a hard lesson (we beat them, it's considered a revenge for you)" The boldface is the original words, and the brackets are my understanding.
There is no dislike, no blame, and no contempt. You must know that the reason why John is not with Lizzie is because Lizzie is still in that business. After knowing that he was cheated, now he bumps into Lizzie and "returns to his old business". If it was an ordinary person, he would have Despised a hundred times, but John didn't. So later Lizzie also said "what I see in Tommy's eyes, you can't see in your eyes". John was puzzled, but with Tommy replaced by John, maybe John wouldn't let Lizzie seduce the officer at all, wouldn't let her take the risk.
To put it another way, Tommy wouldn't let Grace do that, but he would let Lizzie do it. But John's words, he won't let Esme go, he won't let Lizzie go, he won't let anyone related to him and his family go. Tommy has also reached the current heights by unscrupulous means. Although John is still masculine, he will protect everyone around him, protect each other's feelings, and will be loyal for a lifetime if he recognizes one person. This kind of down-to-earth character is also destined for him to be cannon fodder sooner or later.
Many male friends like Tommy, and have a feeling of "hate iron but not steel" towards Arthur and John, and feel that both Arthur and John are dragging down Tommy. But Tommy took the script for the big male lead, and he had big ambitions and wanted to do something great. But Arthur and John didn't, they just wanted to make a fortune and live in peace, but because Tommy needed them, they followed Tommy deeper and deeper, and they couldn't escape at all. If you don't take the initiative to attack, there will be one enemy after another. There is no right or wrong, just that everyone's pursuit is different. Both Arthur and John looked bewildered at the gala dinner after winning the racetrack in season two, because they had gone too far and it was out of their control.
Tommy devised a strategy, Arthur and John were forced to move forward together, and John eventually took his own life. Whether it's Arthur, Tommy or John, everyone is stuck with "Family".
In the third season, Arthur and John's retreat is more obvious, they can't keep up with Tommy's footsteps, have their own small family, and have more ties. Tommy understood them too and arranged for them to retire. While John's retirement mentality isn't as pronounced as Arthur's, it's evident from his promise to buy a house and have his own family life with Esme (which he did, the beginning of season four) that he wants to quit too. .
Speaking of John and Esme, they are my favorite couple in the show, Linda needless to say, the hypocritical Virgin; Grace in season 2 ruined all the good feelings of Grace in season 1; May is unrequited love, the duchess is just playing Just play. The real fragrance segment of John and Esme is also one of the pitfalls. John and Esme's marriage stripped away the "real fragrance" side, which was actually quite unfair, because it was Tommy's unauthorized arrangement, he could marry Esme himself, but he chose to let the third child marry. As for why it's not Arthur, I guess it's too old for the Li family.
Here is a little bit that I think is a little sweet. John, as the irritable third child, has a bad heart, only he beats others, and no one beats him. Both Arthur and Tommy were beaten to death by others, but he wasn't. The force value max was kicked away by the little mushroom. This is still the current situation where the little mushroom was caught stealing money.
John, who was heartbroken by Lizzie, was forced to marry Esme the next day, but it turned out well. At the same time, Esme is also the most influential to the Shelby family among the three brothers. Grace has a high personal starting point. As for Tommy's little help, she betrayed once. Everything in Linda is cumbersome. The Esme family's Lee brothers have been saddling for Tommy, and Johnny, who originally followed the Lee family, later followed Tommy directly. Although the Li family is not a big boss, in the first season, without the help of the Li family, Tommy would have been knocked down by the front and back. John's marriage is very important, but even so important, Tommy did not marry himself, but sent the third child who just needed a woman. It's actually unfair to jump out of the plot.
And Esme himself, other than blocking John and Tommy's reunion in Season 4, did nothing wrong. And John's death shouldn't be classified as Esme's fault. It was a common choice for both of them, and they no longer believed in Tommy. For a purer person like John, he can live and die for Tommy, but he cannot tolerate his betrayal (the same is true of Esme's irritable character, after marrying into the Shelby's house, she is not like Linda clamoring for split). At the end of the third season, they acquiesced that Tommy's betrayal put them in prison, but there was no Tommy standing on the gallows together. This "betrayal" made John and Esme have a deep psychological grudge, and they were unwilling to give up The existing pastoral life is once again involved in chaos. Esme also emphasized that she and John are family. And John finally decided not to go to Charlie's house for a meeting. One of the up masters that I liked explained that John didn't go to the meeting because he didn't hear the phone, but I'm more inclined that they didn't want to answer the phone because they knew it was Tommy. , and they didn't even want to leave when Michael came to them. So John's death was because they had lost trust in Tommy and underestimated the enemy, and it was inappropriate to put all the blame on Esme. In the end, Esme said that she would take the children with her. I don't know if it included the four children of John and his ex-wife. It was not mentioned in the play, but if she managed to leave the Shelby family with all the children, she would be responsible. After all, at this time Leave, it is possible to leave the Shelby family or Tommy's enemies one after another.
