Later, when I got older, I read the book The Godfather, and then watched the movie trilogy of The Godfather. I found that the image of the underworld in my mind had been subverted. They were actually flesh and blood. There are also joys, anger and sorrow. Of course, many of them are heinous, but there are also some people who are kind and honest in nature, and all kinds of people in normal society can be found among them. The underworld is actually a microcosm of a big society. On the gray edge of the law, they do what normal people dare not do, but they must do. They are a group of people who have been abandoned by society. At the same time, they try their best to integrate into this society.
This is a story about revenge.
Sullivan is a professional killer, but he loves his family, his wife and children, and he abstains from alcohol and tobacco, and is compassionate. Rooney is his adoptive father, a well-known local gangster godfather, and Rooney's son Connor is a tyrannical, mindless, murderous devil, because he was caught by Sullivan's son Mike during a murder, and Connor killed him. In the end, Sullivan's wife and younger son were killed by Connor, Sullivan and the eldest son escaped, and the film revolves around the father and son's road of revenge.
For those of us who live in normal society, gangs are always mysterious, illegal organizations with a bit of mystery and fear. In fact, the social rules of gangs are the same as those of normal society. , the only difference is that normal society only needs to pay wisdom and effort, and they have to add one thing, life! Yes, all their achievements are based on the disillusionment of life at any time. This is the biggest difference between them and normal people.
Sullivan's seemingly beautiful family was reduced to the point where his wife and children died just because of an accident. thing.
The survival rule of gangsters is not how cruel you are, you will end your life, because there are people who are more cruel than you, and you will not have a successful life because of your good deeds and virtues, because after all, you will walk on the edge of the law and do your best If you violate the law and discipline, even if the government can't catch you, the competition in the same industry will always threaten your life. In this sense, from the day you step into this industry, fate will follow you at any time.
When Sullivan murdered and was caught by his son, the grief in his heart was unimaginable. A perfect father collapsed in his son's heart in an instant. More importantly, witnessing the murder, the destruction of his son's young heart, was devastating
and Su Li Wen, a father who loves his family so much, loves his wife and children so much, although his adoptive father trusts him and regards him as his own, although it is the son of his adoptive father who did it, as a man who loves his family, he will not. , it is impossible to abide by the rules of the gang and write off this matter, so he wants revenge, because of the protection of his adoptive father, so he wants to take revenge on the whole family. In the end, he has no choice. He must kill his adoptive father to solve Connor. .
He picked up a submachine gun that had not been used for a long time, and on a rainy night, assassinated his adoptive father Rooney. Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, the adoptive father walked out of the bar and came to the front of the car. The bodyguards fell one after another. At this time, the heavy rain was silent, the gunshots were silent, only the flame of the gun barrel was beating, and the music sounded, this low music, It sounded like a dirge on the rainy night of silent killing. This is a killing between family members, a helpless killing, and a fateful killing. Only silence can interpret all this. In the end, Sullivan walked up to his foster father with tears in his eyes, and his grief came from his heart. The foster father only said one sentence: I am glad it is you.
Yes, I'm glad it's you. In this world of life and death, death is the best destination. It is better to die in a relative (emotional relative) who is now a relative Sullivan, who is the enemy (the enemy in the rules), came easily and died rightly. At this time, the gunshots were loud, and the movie returned to the sound world. The adoptive father saw Sullivan shoot sadly. This last blow was like a hustle and bustle of life. After a short roar, everything returned to peace. Seeing this, I feel a sense of disappointment in my heart, and it comes unexpectedly. There are too many unpredictable things in life, and there are too many difficult choices in life, but, you still have to choose! Although this choice is very painful!
When Sullivan killed his enemy Connor and brought his son to his aunt's house by the sea, the sound of gunshots sounded behind him. Another gunman who was chasing him hard, finally after Sullivan fulfilled his wish for revenge, he got get what you want. Behind the killer, stood his son Mike. He held the gun tightly, and it was difficult to fire. The gun went off. Sullivan used his last strength to kill the killer. The father and son embraced each other. Understand that
yes, if Mike fired this shot, the road of life in the future will never be smooth again, just like the dialogue between father and son one night. Mike asked his father, do you prefer your brother, the father said, because you are like me, I don't want you to be like me, in my heart, Sullivan hates his profession, so he will feel sorry for his son when he finds out that he murdered, and will be right. It is difficult for a son to shoot at the juncture of life and death to express his understanding. This is a father's true love for his son, and it is also a father's most thorough confession of his profession.
Before assassinating his foster father, Sullivan had a negotiation and dialogue with his foster father. The foster father had a sentence, which revealed the eternal inner tragedy of the gangster. He said that no one standing here will go to heaven. Yes, you As long as you enter this industry, as long as your hands are stained with blood, you are destined to be difficult to go to heaven, yes, there is no way to heaven, so this is their eternal tragedy
to live in a healthy society, so good!
