Very interesting movie

Everyone seems to have listed some classic lines of this movie, but unfortunately I forgot it very quickly, and I don't even remember it. But there seems to be one sentence, probably as far as I understand it, that sums up this story. I can't remember the original sentence. Probably it is "I know, sometime, what I am doing is not right. But I am good at it." I

feel that this sentence still brings some depth to this film, and it also brings a little bit of tragedy.
Character determines fate, fate determines thoughts, and no one is a born warmonger.

I know it is wrong to do such a thing, but it is the best thing I can do.
I know that there is no result in falling in love with him/her, but I still fall in love hopelessly.

In this cruel world where "the world is not benevolent, and everything is a humble dog" and "fate controls you, me and him all the time", this may be a little resistance that humans can have.

In short, this film records a secular, recognized "bad guy", his emotions, his life, and more importantly, his helplessness. So-called "bad guys" are the same, and so are "good guys".

    I love this movie~ It's too humanistic... Especially in the middle, the plane can be taken down overnight, oh my god, it's too ostentatious...

    It was not until the end that the main reason why the arms dealers were overbearing was not because I was really rich, nor was it because I knew the gangsters who were hooded, or even because my uncle was a general of the former Soviet Union and there were so many weapons to sell; It's that these superpowers want to use weapons to spread killings in order to occupy other small countries, while at the same time pretending to be a glamorous image of peace lovers, so they can only send people like the protagonist to come forward to do business. The title "Life of a Bullet" is very cool. The technical aspects of the film are very good and I don't think it is used too much. The overall style is ridiculous and satirical, and may be more serious (for example, you can make the subject clear earlier). Ethan Hawke is so handsome.
