Real men don't use guns

The warmest part of the whole film is the redemption of Miles. Miles, a black child, has a high artistic talent, his brother died of violence by others, so he yearned for violence and almost went astray. If it weren't for McCall's help, I'm afraid he would really kill an innocent person with a gun in order to prove that he was a man. Since then, his hands will be bloodied and there will be nowhere to go.

I remember McCall telling him, "Real men don't use guns."

For us ordinary people, guns mean violence. Real men don't use violence. A real man is called a gentleman in my country and a gentleman in foreign countries. Gentlemen are as gentle as jade, gentlemen are courteous. Violence does nothing but destroy you.

So McCall would encourage Miles to continue painting, and would send him a book to cultivate his mood. He wants him to be someone who has nothing to do with guns.

May the world be at peace forever.

  • Robert McCall: What happened, Dave?

    Dave York: You died, that's what happened. Three months after you, uh, disappeared, government shut us down. I went private right after, doing the same thing you and I did for God and country, killing names on a piece of paper. Only now... now there is a price next to it.

    Robert McCall: We kill the enemy...

    Dave York: Who said they were the enemy? Not us, not me. We just following orders... . Mac, there are no good and bad people, any more. No enemies. Just.. unfortunates.

    Robert McCall: And Susan?

    Dave York: Unfortunate.
