Adversity sees the truth

Many of us, like Mounty, think life is just like that when it's quiet.

And when his drug-trafficking incident happened, everything started to move because of the disaster: love, family, friendship.

Love, which has been tested, was not reported by his girlfriend;
friendship, in the end, in order to let him live a good life in prison, and friends help him break his image with pain and tears;
family love, his father made a beautiful design for his future, Plan and teach.

What I like most here is the loyalty in the movie: the buddies who grew up with him have not left him;
and he has not betrayed his accomplices, he has carried it all by himself (even if he does not carry it, he has no good fruit. Eat)

In his time of trouble, the sincere feelings between these people made him start to think, feel and face the world calmly.

The people he FUXK before were all so cute in the movie;
and he has a new understanding of his own life, and everything is so beautiful--maybe it's really because he thinks it's beautiful, maybe it's because although these usual things he FUXK , is cuter than his horrible prison life.

This is how life is. When everything is going well, you feel that life is very dull and boring, but when disasters and difficulties occur, you find that things that you usually find annoying, disgusting, and boring are so precious, lovely, and rare.

Only after losing can you know the preciousness of what you have; only after suffering can you know the beauty of plainness.

As his father said at the end, you find peace in silence, and heaven in peace.

    Kostya Novotny: Rule number one; you can not grab half-dead animals! We have people waiting for us! People with money! You want to play this cowboy, no... dogboy, in the middle of the highway.

    Monty Brogan: Dogboy? That's funny, Kotsya... you really mastered the language.

  • Kostya Novotny: I pick her out special just for you.

    Monty Brogan: The last girl you picked out special for me had three teeth, all in the back.

    Kostya Novotny: Funny you should say that.

    [laughs]

    Monty Brogan: Why? Why is it funny I should say that?

    Kostya Novotny: What you say, it was funny.

    Monty Brogan: Kostya, you can't... when you...

    Monty Brogan: It's an expression. If you say that...

    Frank Slaughtery: It's a, uh, euphemism, right?

    Monty Brogan: Can you explain this? You're the English teacher.

    Jakob Elinsky: Uh...

    Jakob Elinsky: I think what he means, Kostya, is that when you say, "Funny you should say that," that means that it reminds you of a funny story.

    Monty Brogan: Exactly.

    Kostya Novotny: No, no. It was funny what you say... "Funny you should say that."

    Monty Brogan: It still makes no fucking sense. This is what I deal with.
