The Chinese translation of the film is "Big Drug Lord/American Drug Lord". After watching the film, I found out that the translated name is completely cheap for this film. Blow, blow, gust of wind, play. Only after reading the film can you realize the incisiveness and resonance of the original use of the word.
First, take a big interlude method, starting with a recall-style method. It describes the male protagonist's growth experience, family background, drug trafficking, becoming rich, betrayed by friends, and after restoring a peaceful life, he was persecuted by the government, abandoned by his wife, betrayed by friends again, and finally had nothing and died in prison. George was born in England and grew up in a small town in Massachusetts, USA. My father worked hard, but still lived a dull and hard life. The unwilling mother kept quarreling violently with her father over money, which left a deep imprint in her young mind. Growing up, George didn't go to college, but with a dream, he came to the seaside city of California in his early years. Through his girlfriend, he met drug dealer Derek. Relying on flexible minds, hard work and courage, he made the first pot of gold to expand the marijuana business. It also created a means of self-driving planes to transport drugs overseas. However, George was unexpectedly arrested when his girlfriend was diagnosed with a terminal illness. In order to take care of his girlfriend's last days, George becomes a fugitive. After his girlfriend died, George returned home, but was accused by his mother and imprisoned, and experienced the first betrayal of his family.
Over time, cocaine replaced marijuana as a more lucrative drug. After being introduced by his companion Diego, George came to Colombia to buy cocaine from the Colombian drug lord. At first, the Colombian drug lord didn't want to work with Diego. Under George's repeated requests, Diego can also profit from it. Relying on the sales network established in California with Derek in his early years, George became rich overnight and became the largest drug lord in the United States at that time. At the same time, he met the attractive Mirtha, married with her, and had a daughter. Diego, however, began working with Derek privately to take the market away from George. George experiences his first friendship betrayal.
George returned to his normal life and lived a good life with the money he earned before. However, if you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. At a birthday party, an old friend brought drugs to take and was raided by the government. experienced the first government persecution. In order to save other friends, George signed a statement that the drugs were bought for one of them. Because I don't want to leave my daughter and wife. George began his escape career again. However, the dullness and hardships of life make Mirtha go wild. In front of daughter Kristina, constantly arguing over money, it seems like a dramatic return to George's childhood. It also reflects the wife's selfishness and ruthlessness like a mother. In the end, George was jailed again because of his wife's betrayal. Experience the second family betrayal.
George in prison misses his daughter Kristina all day long. After his release from prison, George worked hard to repair his relationship with his daughter. And hope to go to California with her daughter to start a new life. In order to fulfill his ultimate dream, George finds a former friend and prepares to make the final touch. However, it was found that this was a phishing operation by the government to coerce friends. The second time was betrayed by friends and the government. George was sentenced to 60 years in prison. In prison, he did not see the last side of his beloved father. The only dream is to wait for the visit of my daughter,,,.
Good people are short-lived. Too many times, for too many people. In exchange, it is always the selfishness and ruthlessness of relatives; the betrayal of friends for profit; the envy and persecution of society. We always hope to rely on money to fulfill our dreams and find happiness, but we are often harmed by it. If George's mother wasn't so selfish, George wouldn't have left home early, and he wouldn't have resorted to any means to make money; if George could be dishonest, he wouldn't be replaced by Diego; if society could tolerate a man who had made mistakes and has since changed his mind man, George would be very happy. If Mirtha really loved George and lived a normal life, George wouldn't go to jail again. If old friends don't betray again, George will start a new life in California with Kristina. If, too many ifs. George did not hold any resentment, however, as a father of a child, he could deeply feel George's pain: "FBI and DEA designed to frame me, I don't care; Kevin and Derek betrayed me for self-protection, I don't care; 60 years in prison and I still don't care. But I broke a deal and took the love of my life away from me."
George's father once told him that money was nothing and meant nothing. By the time George was 42, he finally understood what it contained. What we actually want is always a lot, but more is lost. Because of those selfishness, ruthlessness, jealousy, and betrayal, we have to learn to pretend. Happiness is always short-lived. The end result of giving is that there is no return. In the end, it was still a lifetime of loneliness. Finally,
let's end with George's introspection at the end of the film: "You are the only thing in my life ever meant anything. You swear? I swear, baby. I swear. I love you, Kristina. You are the only good thing in my life.
So in the end, was it worth it? How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last day of summer, and I have been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you, I 've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they are making grand plans for it. Throuhout my lifetime, I have left pieces of my heart here and there, and now there is almost not enough to stay alive .But I force a smile,knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent.There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.A dream come true
,everything is empty.
