American Dream

An interesting old film.

After a pair of Jiang Yang thieves who had been in jail for 30 years due to train robbery was released from prison, the two were not allowed to meet again for three years, and the sergeant who arrested them has been watching them to prevent them from committing crimes. The old people try to start a new life, try a new love, but the unsatisfactory real life and the defense of dignity make the two old people go to Liangshan again. They hijacked it again on the last journey of the train they missed that year, and this time they achieved their goal and successfully crossed the border. This is the last train robbery...

comedy? tragedy? Drama? I can't quite divide it.

But I saw the foundation of the nation of America: independence, strength and freedom. To borrow a line from the play: "If I like this woman, even though I am 72 years old, I can go to bed with her." This "man" approach is by no means vulgar or lack of gentleness as we understand it, let alone violence. Two old men in suits and shoes and polite words, insisting on never killing, are under the contrast of gay men, young and uncontrolled punks, rascal street gangsters, boring little fat guys, vicious nursing home managers, and unpredictable police officers. , Looks so elegant and strong; and the 30-year persistent killer once again satirizes the hypocrisy and fragility of modern people.

However, this was finally the last hijacking. The old man will grow old forever. Can the young man who participated in their robbery inherit this spirit?

American Dream.

I have a strange association. I think of the song "California Dream".

At The Brown Leaves All, and at The Sky IS Green.

The I've been A Walk, ON A Winter's Day.

The I Safe and Warm by Will BE IF the I WAS in LA

warm, mixed with the smell of the grass head wind.
