Is the king of war or a businessman without emotions?

After watching the movie, the final choice of the male protagonist is actually very difficult to understand. Many people who read the comments said that they could not accept the ending that was forced to persuade others to be good.

Of course, I don't want to accuse the male lead of insisting on the decision to be an arms dealer in the end, because I don't think that the male lead is someone who makes war by Satan and the devil. Because even before modern weapons were invented in this world, humans still massacred cities with cold weapons, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of prisoners, the Rwanda massacre and other massacres. Just like King Andre I and King II in the play, their purpose of killing can be said to have no purpose. The statement in the play is to exclude dissidents, but it feels like II who shoots a golden gun on the roadside casually kills people more than cut vegetables. Casual. In such a disorderly area, killing each other is like commonplace. It is caused by the environment as well as the evil of human nature itself.

So it feels that no matter whether there is an arms dealer as a male protagonist, there is no way to survive in that world, but why the male protagonist has gone through all this, seeing the nightmare of local armed boy scouts, amputated children, and shooting competitors. My brother wanted to stop this. The business died, his wife and children left to stop him, and the family did not recognize him. Why did he insist on doing this after so many things? why? It is stronger than the belief of Interpol...

What is the picture? Money coming soon? After all, the male protagonist said that serious business is not good, or is it because he said that he is very suitable? Do you have to do this for self-realization? After realizing that I was not short of money, and I had promised his wife and children not to wash their hands, and because of André I’s diamond, I betrayed his wife and children when I needed you. Later, my brother also lost money and was able to sit at the negotiating table. I received the other half of the arms...

Had the male protagonist forgotten that he had to chase his wife for bankruptcy, spend a lot of money to buy a confidant, smile, and have an overdraft to maintain a married life. He deeply understands that the only weapon that can hurt oneself is his family. Later, he will not move like a mountain after losing all his family members, even if he loses all his beloved ones. Knowing that if you continue like this, you won’t get what you want, but you still can’t stop and sell arms. This is what Interpol said, you’re already in hell, hell on earth.

No one can stop him, because only the arms business can make him feel safe. The male protagonist's most wanted partner is based on lies. You can see from the fact that he pretends to be a rich man to rent a plane to pursue the target, the male protagonist believes that he is true. I don't deserve to be a heroine at all. I need to play such a role to be worthy of such a life. What kind of life? It is a life of the love of a lifetime and the blessings of family members. From the bottom of his heart, he believes that he is not qualified to do this kind of work. He seems to have no sense of guilt. In fact, he has already deprived himself of the right and the possibility of a happy life. As he said, a happy life must be based on lies. Below, it means that one's own happiness can only be that a lie cannot come true.

Even if he gets a happy life, it doesn’t belong to him, so he has been on business trips, divorced life, even if the child can walk, his wife called him happily. His attention was only on the news of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and he seemed to care about his child’s wife. In fact, it is ignored, because only those countries that are raged by war really belong to him, completely accept his real world, and he is in that world like a fish in water.

So losing everything is expected. In other words, you don’t have to worry about when the hanging sword of Damocles will fall. The happy life you have stolen will finally get retribution. When you are sad and relieved, you don’t have to dream about it anymore. Any happiness, the rebellion of the relatives and separation is the only script for oneself, and there is only one place for oneself in this world-the land of war.

Therefore, the male protagonist who was finally known as the king of war stood on the ground covered with bullets and weapons with a sad and desperate expression. He can only survive in this world.
