There is a companionship that transcends ethics

Another work of heavy style and sharp analysis.

He was never a man favored by fate.
The war made him an orphan
, and he lost his wife
and only had an autistic mute girl, who lived with each other.
Day after day,
year after year,
life for this father and daughter
is nothing but a one-man show with a pale and boring plot.

Until
the impermanent life forced him to go down a road of no return,
so he no longer backed down,
so he no longer resigned
even though his allies were only his
enemies, but the whole society and the so called "moral"

but in the end I think he was victorious, and
finally saw it through After everything, he has crossed the bottom line of ethics and common sense.
From now on, he can no longer fight alone, because he is finally able to face the harsh and whitewashed life side by side
with the only person he trusts and loves in this world - his daughter and his wife . Just like the sunshine on the terrace at the end of the story, their lives will be brightened up again with each other's company. Although the surrounding is still indifferent winter.

I Stand Alone quotes

  • The Butcher: Feels strange to be back in this room where my daughter was conceived. What a great fuck her mother was. But if I knew she was going to lay a runt on me I'd have never spurted inside her. But that's how it goes. I let the jissom flow. And today my daughter exists.

  • [MORALITY, in huge block letters, is displayed against a black screen at opening of film]

    [cut to a man holding court, talking to another patron while sitting at a table in a bar]

    Every Man his Moral: You know what Morality is? I'll tell you what it is. Morality is made for those who own it. The rich. And you know who's always right? The rich. And the poor pay the price.

    [cut to the word JUSTICE displayed and then back to bar]

    Every Man his Moral: You want to see my Morality?

    Captive bar patron: Yeah.

    Every Man his Moral: Yeah?

    Captive bar patron: Yeah.

    Every Man his Moral: Sure you won't regret it?

    Captive bar patron: I don't know.

    Every Man his Moral: I think it's gonna scare you. Take a look.

    [Pulls out and displays an automatic pistol]

    Every Man his Moral: That's Morality for you. You know why I carry this around? Huh? Because the guy in blue who shows off his Morality, dig? He's got the upper hand, dig? He and his fucking Justice. But I... But I... Here's my Justice.

    [bar patron is obviously disturbed but is trying hard not to show his discomfort]

    Every Man his Moral: Whether you're right or whether you're wrong. Same difference, friend.

    [He finally stops waving the pistol and with a sense of satisfaction puts it back beneath his leather jacket]
