"Only in this fallen world can anyone say that they are innocent."

When I watched the front, I felt that Pete's performance was nothing bright. But in the end when deciding whether to kill the prisoner or not, the expression was absolutely stunning.
In fact, John (the prisoner is called by this name? I don’t remember...) said something to the effect that the person he killed was not what Pete called innocent people. He felt that there were too many guilty people in this world. Too many evils happen every day, but people have taken it off. He denied that he was the savior, but thought that all of this was "walking the way for the heavens." In fact, I think I personally disagree or support the passage on the car, but I understand it.
From beginning to end, Pete regarded John as a complete lunatic. In fact, I don't like the role of Pete very much. I don't think that people who can understand perversion and gloom are another perversion. On the contrary, this is an ability. I think Morgan Freeman has done a better job in this regard. Pete would only curse the lunatic in the face of John's various crazy remarks, but Freeman could ask him questions. If John doesn't surrender, people like Pete probably won't be able to catch the murderer.
I think the essence of the whole movie is concentrated in the dialogue in the car on the way to find the corpse. Speaking of it, I don't know who is more pure in heart, Pete and John. Pete's simplicity and innocence are well known. John's "innocence", if it can be called that, how is his ideal world different from those of Xanadu? I still said that, I understand his beliefs, but I don't agree with or support his approach.
And in the end, he said, I admit, I envy your life, I have committed the crime of jealousy. So he had already chosen death and atonement. As for dragging Pete into the water and committing an angry murder, I felt awkward here at first. Later, I felt that it was nothing more than the last one, but also to be buried for his own jealousy.
Throughout the movie, what impressed me the most was the sentence in the title.
Only in this fallen world can (someone) be able to say that they (the victims) are innocent.
