Juan is a person who has no enthusiasm for the revolution. Being poor makes him convinced by the magic of money. His life is the most sought after. To put it more noble, it is a dream, and it is to become rich. However, after getting to know Sean, a master bomber, his life trajectory changed dramatically. Ben was excited to rob a bank, but accidentally freed the imprisoned revolutionaries, and became a part of the revolution by accident again and again. And all the coincidences made him a hero. When he lost all his relatives, the only thing he could rely on was Sean, who was born to death. When the enemy leader wanted to exchange money for his own life, he greedily looked at the money and hesitated. At this time, Sean handed the gun to Juan and let him decide for himself. With a gunshot, Juan killed the enemy, which also means that once the revolution is victorious, he will be the leader of the revolution. And Sean dedicated his life to the revolution, but left all the limelight to Juan, willing to be a behind-the-scenes devotion to the revolution, and finally detonated the bomb and sacrificed with the enemy. In this film, what is interesting is that those who complete the revolution are ignorant of the revolution, those who plan the revolution betray the revolution, and those who insist on the revolution finally choose death.

Duck, You Sucker! quotes

  • Juan Miranda: [looking through John's binoculars the wrong way] He says there's no danger; all you have to do is just watch the bridge from a long way. No matter how I look with them, I'm still too close to the bridge.

    [looks through them the right way]

    Juan Miranda: Why am I mixed up in this fucking revolution in the first place? Go ahead, you tell me God; what am I doing here? Why didn't you strike me dead instead of letting me say "I stay too"?

    [notices John walking away from the birdge]

    Juan Miranda: Oh-ho, look at him. Look at him! All because of him! He acts like a tourist that's going somewhere, only he's staying, eh, heh-heh! Look at him. What the hell does he care, ho-ho, he's having fun. Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! I'm glad he's having fun, God, because I am not having fun. Oh-ho. No! Hey, what's this?

    [notices John napping]

    Juan Miranda: Ho-ho, now he goes to sleep, eh? Go ahead, you sleep. Sleep. I tell you something God: when he's asleep, I go. Shhh. May the good Lord watch over you.

    [prepares to leave, but notices Günther Ruiz and his soldiers arriving at the bridge]

  • Priest: [about peasants] I hate saying it, but you should hear them in the confessional. You would never imagine. Did you know that they...

    Adelita, woman in stagecoach: I can imagine, Father. I can imagine. Living in such promiscuity. All of them in one room, male and female together, lying in a heap, like rats in a sewer. At night, when the lights are out, all their inhibitions disappear. You never know who's next: mother, sister, daughter... goat...
