Pau Love Letter

The Affleck Brothers movie is a love letter to Boston, the city of academies, the city of crime, and the city where Tom Brady is worshipped. He shows you the good and bad, even especially the bad, the bottom-level culture of Pau's customs, and then tells you that he still loves its ravines. It feels like the people who grew up in Boston, the Affleck brothers, Matt Damon and Conan O'Brien, all have a honeyed pride in the city. As a native of Youcheng, I am all too familiar with the feeling of growing up in the same block and everyone knows everyone, so I like it very much. Big Ben's feelings towards street gangsters are a bit like Guy Ritchie's, and his feelings towards his hometown are similar to Bi Gan's.

The model of the young couple handling the case together is quite novel (I really don’t know if Sherlock Holmes and Watson should be included in this), this is a two-part story like “L.A. Confidential”, the first half is to find the murdered one. I liked the little boy very much before, the customs, everyone from the detective to the protagonist is upright and awe-inspiring.

The complexity of the theme of the second half of the story unfolds suddenly and becomes a game between procedural justice and outcome justice. The old police detective, who is used to seeing the warmth and disappointment of the world, decides to bend the rules for the last time before retiring, for the sake of the child he lost, and to give the little girl a future away from the streets. The protagonists of Leng Touqing and Catholics pursue procedural justice, and in order to fulfill their mother's entrustment, they can sleep well at night. Everyone has done what they think is right, and everyone has selfishness. The only opinion that has not been questioned is that girl, floating around like duckweed.

Is this mother worth welcoming back her child? I don't know. I just watched "Transcendence" and I held a negative attitude. Being a parent is not a natural human right. If some people are unwilling to change, they are not qualified. But who am I, and I am not qualified to judge. This is a moral dilemma. Only time can give an answer that is not an answer. Before that, everyone may have a relationship at some point before going to sleep.

Gone Baby Gone quotes

  • Officer in Procession: [approaching Patrick and shaking his hand] Mr. Kenzie. Nice fucking job on Corwin Earle.

  • Patrick Kenzie: I'm calling state police in five minutes. They'll be here in ten.

    Capt. Jack Doyle: Thought you would've done that by now. You know why you haven't? Because you think this might be an irreparable mistake. Because deep inside you, you know it doesn't matter what the rules say. When the lights go out, and you ask yourself "is she better off here or better off there", you know the answer. And you always will. You... you could do a right thing here. A good thing. Men live their whole lives without getting this chance. You walk away from it, you may not regret it when you get home. You may not regret it for a year, but when you get to where I am, I promise you, you will. I'll be dead, you'll be old. But she... she'll be dragging around a couple of tattered, damaged children of her own, and you'll be the one who has to tell them you're sorry.

    Patrick Kenzie: You know what? Maybe that'll happen. And if it does, I'll tell them I'm sorry and I'll live with it. But what's never gonna happen and what I'm not gonna do is have to apologize to a grown woman who comes to me and says: "I was kidnapped when I was a little girl, and my aunt hired you to find me. And you did, you found me with some strange family. But you broke your promise and you left me there. Why? Why didn't you bring me home? Because all the snacks and the outfits and the family trips don't matter. They stole me. It wasn't my family and you knew about it and you knew better and you did nothing". And maybe that grown woman will forgive me, but I'll never forgive myself.

    Capt. Jack Doyle: I did what I did for the sake of the child. All right. For me, too. But now, I'm asking you for the sake of the child. I'm begging you. You think about it.
