After watching this movie, I feel that values ​​have completely collapsed. Although life is also full of various injustices, I still feel shocked when this ending is presented on the screen as the end of the movie.

Why are the families of hooligans so happy and harmonious, good wives, filial sons, hard-core brothers, family friendship and love are many, although there have been criminal records, squad in prison, murder, and violence, it does not prevent others from being happy. There is no shadow at all, living with great self-confidence and great freedom.

On the contrary, the poor little DAFF I believe he must have never hurt anyone, never robbed anyone, let alone killed anyone. He himself has been shrouded in the shadow of his childhood. Compared with the strength of JIMMY, he is weak and innocent. Yes, but instead of getting more care and love, he was finally betrayed by his wife and became an unjust man.

Right or wrong, who is higher and lower between individuals and others, are the standards of social standards and morals really the essence of life? SEAN is a policeman. Although he knows the truth, he has no evidence, so what can I do? Besides, I personally feel that he and JIMMY seem to have more instincts. Childhood memories make them feel guilty about DAFF instinctively, and the death of DAFF makes them It seems to be relieved, so I believe that SEAN will not be upset at this time. The only poor person is DAFF’s wife and son. She can feel that his wife is a kind woman. It is because of her kindness that she tells JIMMY what she saw and directly led to the murder of her husband. Her disclosure was Conscience, she feels ashamed of JIMMY; conscience can make people uneasy, make people shed tears, get entangled and weak, just like the words that JIMMY’s wife said to him at the end of the film: What kind of wife is she, why do you doubt yourself? Husband, tell you these things. My husband is a king and has the right to be executed. Whether right or wrong, others will be weak, but we will not. The children love his father and I love my husband. OH MY GOD! Didn't his husband kill a dog by mistake, it was a life, DAFF’s wife or her cousin must have grown up too, DAFF is equal to his cousin, but in the face of his family’s interests, All this seems to be as light as air and not worth mentioning.

I am a little confused and entangled. I sympathize with DAFF. The weak person died because of weakness, and his wife was so pitiful. At the end of the film, she waved her hands on the road and her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice trembled: Mike Mike! Hey. . . I guess she will get nervous in the future. His son doesn't seem to be very active, he always doesn't like to talk, and his head is drooping. This is to remind us that righteous killing of relatives is a very, very dangerous behavior. Do you see the provocative look in Jimmy's wife? I'm so angry.

JIMMY’s wife is very selfish and possessive. At the beginning of the film, JIMMY received a call saying that Katie didn’t go to work. The dad was very nervous and immediately put on clothes to find him. At this time, his wife was very dissatisfied. A bunch, remember one sentence is that you don’t forget that you still have two daughters. A typical stepmother’s face. Later in the family activities after Katie’s death, his father-in-law came again and said a lot of P words to JIMMY. The inner meaning is that you have to take care of your body. Responsible, you have my daughter and two children. Fortunately, JIMMY gave him a few words. The film portrays JIMMY very tall, which is also a point that makes me very depressed. When he saw his daughter dying and almost howling and crying, it moved me and was moved by his love for her daughter, and later he was able to start. I cut the DAFF and got the balance after knowing that I was wrong. It surprised me that human love is so narrow. So indifferent to others.

Sometimes there is no standard for good and evil, right or wrong, and there is no reason. Everything is based on your own interests. If you feel right, you are right, and if you feel wrong, you are wrong.
