Everyone is alone

Remember that sentence that Dave said after killing the pervert, killing people will make people feel lonely. Jimmy killed Lao Lei, he could also feel this loneliness, and the only daughter Katie who could comfort him was killed by Lao Lei’s son, and he was pushed back to that kind of loneliness, and the police Tim, because of his wife He also fell into the same loneliness.
People are always lonely, and this feeling is most felt when a person is dying or sick. It is estimated that Old Wood, who is more than 80 years old, has the most profound feelings of this loneliness, so he can also shoot it Lingli, like a sap, silent, but it is painful to death.

In the film, Dave is because of his childhood shadow, and his wife, I think she did not love him, and even she might love Jimmy. After all, it is difficult for a man with such a closed and depressed personality to make a woman love him. While his wife was bearing the secret of helping her husband hide the murder, she secretly hoped to get in touch with Jimmy.
But having said that, death is not a relief for Dave, and for Jimmy who killed him, it may be the increase of this degree of loneliness.

Finally, I want to say with a grudge, I love Eastwood, but I hate him for taking apart Tim Robbins in Shawshank’s redemption and turning into this shadow, desperate and tragic man, that is my spiritual idol. Dear.

    It is not necessarily Jesus who bears the cross, but it may also be Satan, who is the executioner who lynched in the name of love. The tragic Moebius ring and the so-called character determine fate. From beginning to end, poor Dave did not control his own destiny. The beginning of the tragedy and the end of the tragedy (life) were all doomed from the moment he got in the car. The only thing to be thankful for is that he finally faced his past self honestly and made his debut as a teenager (the past self), but it also indirectly led to the tragedy. The trust between people is so fragile, even if it is a husband and wife, she may not be able to treat each other frankly and not let her face her past self. This is the saddest thing. On another level, Jimmy, who seems to be pitiful for losing his beloved daughter, was doomed from the moment he became the leader of the three in his childhood and when he became a robber. Only the honest policeman, Sean, has to maintain this society under the rule of law in the end (stretching out his hands than shooting out his guns). At the end of the parade on National Day, the meaning behind it could not be more obvious: the tragedy of the "fake police" must have good police officers. To maintain the rule of law and justice to protect the United States

    Could it be that I gave birth to such a daughter to get the ending of her being shot and killed today?
