Everything is virtual

"The Godfather", "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and "The Good Guy" After reading the classic trilogy of gangsters, feelings:

"Anything, existence is reason"...Some things, friends, teachers, books, movies, and even the society can't tell you, their only use is for your reference and judgment. Most things, you know, rarely have a truly neutral stand. Whether it’s morality or law or everything in this society, it’s like a movie theme. You have to express its “good” values ​​or things to people, so it’s bound to be It will also belittle its "bad" values ​​or things to people. It's like promoting politics, democracy, and communism in war movies...or promoting the utopia of "love" in ethics movies... It's like advertising in an artist's paintings. So, is this still called "art". I don't even bother about films that are narrow in breadth and lack "real".

You have the ability to break the rules... and then it is destroyed by you... Then, you must also have the means to exempt the rules.

You are pointed out as violent because you are not violent enough.

The same is true among political groups. If you control the economy of a country, then you don’t care who makes the law. The gang was acting naked.

"Good Guy" is also a weak and marginal figure in the underworld. The practical significance of this story is that their struggle will never be recognized, and their destiny has only one ending from beginning to end: being abandoned. The significance of the myth lies in the ending Henry escaped this fate, and the method is exactly the rules he learned in the sinister arena: there are no rules and no morality, but they do "exist".
