Li Duo, the second head of the family

Regarding the part about Sonny being captured in the end, but no one looked back at him, most of the comments on the barrage were "Why should you watch it? I wish he died", and I have something to say. Is Sonny a bad guy? In a big way, of course. He took hostages, robbed banks, caused panic by shooting, lost money, and deserved to be captured. But is he really a bad guy? I don't think so. In the process of taking the hostages, he did not hurt anyone, tried to keep everyone safe, ordered food for everyone, taught people to use guns, and made husbands who were worried about their wives talk to their wives on the phone. If he is really a bad person, beaten, tortured, and threatened his life in exchange for his life, this is what a bad person should do. He's a fool, an incompetent, an unlucky guy, but definitely not a bad guy. In the process of getting along with the hostages, he did not do evil, but instead expressed goodwill as much as he could. So in the end he was captured, and it was too much to expect those people to take a look at him and sympathize with a little guy who was tortured by life and had no way to go and finally went to a dead end? I know a lot of people will say, try to kidnap you, the Holy Mother speaks, bad people are bad people and so on. But people are really not that flat. For example, a person can cheat for a living at the same time, or give his life to save a strange child. Do you think this is a good person or a bad person? Should it be scolded or praised? There is no such one-sided evaluation. Sonny's robbing a bank is indeed illegal for the public, and he should be beaten and killed. From Sonny's point of view, he is capable of harming but not harming others. As a cornered little guy, he finally yearns for a little bit of sympathy, a little bit of empathy, or even a little attention from others about his fate, which doesn't count. Excessive. He was justifiably disappointed. As a spectator, you don't have to be so upright, so on-line, black and white. Because "people" are inherently complex and gray, there is no absolute good or bad. Finally, a few more words about watching the movie. I love watching movies and novels because I can see all kinds of real characters, all kinds of angles, and the complexity of human nature. This is the real world. A prostitute can be more human than a nobleman, and a bank robber can be a good guy. Horror live broadcasts, scorching sun, too many stories discuss the conflict between human nature good and evil and the boundaries of behavior, all they want to tell us is that people are very complex animals. Stories teach us and guide us to look at the world in a three-dimensional, empathetic, and more inclusive way, to see the suffering of everyone, the good of everyone, and the happiness of everyone. personal bad. Instead of making us more extreme and one-sided.
