This is a story about two men,
Bob, who was born the youngest son in the family. Ever since he was a child, living in the shadow of neglect, he tried to get into people's sight, but he was always thrown back to the quagmire that seemed to never be able to escape again and again by contemptuous eyes and contemptuous words. In the dark shadow, he grew up, a timid, inferior, lack of identity, but very sensitive young man. Alone, he embarks on a road of no return that will do whatever it takes to realize his self-worth.
Jesse, the youngest brother of the James gang. Maybe he, who was once ignorant, was so involved in the family's revenge against the government for some reason, so robbery and murder became the most natural part of his life. A pistol on his waist, wandering around with him. When his brother finally quit this game of killing, killing, and plundering, he was alone, unable to trust anyone, and gradually, he was exhausted by the loneliness that could not escape and the suspicion that was always right.
Bob says that Jesse is the biggest tree in his life. Jesse not only became the yearning and pursuit in his life, but also became the culprit that blocked the sunshine in his life. After enduring again and again, Bob finally turned his greatest admiration into his greatest hatred. So, he began to play the abacus carefully and foolishly to realize his self-worth.
Jesse says that once you see the other side of the world, you have no fear of death. When he raised his gun again and again and killed his accomplices who betrayed him one by one, he definitely discovered the other side of human nature, and the adoration and fear of him on the surface turned into betrayal and hatred after all. He has already climbed to a peak with no way out, and there is an abyss under his feet. His companions are waiting for an opportunity to pull him down, but none of this is an obstacle, but he doesn't seem to care whether he will fall and shatter his bones.
The two sensitive people began to deal with each other knowingly, understanding the suspicion, and advancing and retreating without a word. The eyes meet by chance, one is full of reason and fear, struggling in admiration and hatred, the other is floating with despair and emptiness, seeing everything but forbearance. Eventually, the pulling rope gets tighter and tighter, breaking at the touch. Jesse finally confirmed his suspicions again, saw the other side of the world completely, put down all precautions, and waited for death to come. Bob was finally driven to a dead end by the exposed truth. He picked up the pistol that Jesse had given him and pulled the trigger. With his moist eyes, he witnessed the big tree crashing down and the sun pierced mercilessly. eyes. The last bullet ended the tacit fight between the two.
When the dust settles, Jesse's body is offered as a trophy exhibit, but ultimately becomes a symbol of bravery and freedom. The other, full of remorse, fell into the identity of a coward, unable to extricate himself, and ultimately could not escape the fate of being shot.
Loneliness and low self-esteem are probably the two biggest negative emotions in my life. In a movie, I never expected it to be displayed so vividly. On the night when Bob started throwing a gun to kill Jesse who slept in the same room, at the moment when Bob was alerted that he was lying back on the bed, I found that there was a long tear from the corner of Bob's left eye. ...which is also something I didn't expect. I, who was equally sensitive, noticed a strange emotion.
