The three old gunmen moved me

After watching this movie of three old actors, I have three insights. One is the value of friendship. The three elderly people have long since retired. It is very rare to be able to sit together in a small shop to chat and eat, to be able to sit by the TV-watch their favorite programs together, and to be able to rob a bank together (dramatically). When Willie was on his birthday, Joe and Al knew what Willie needed most in his heart, and what he needed most was his family, so they really understood Willie by giving him a watch with a photo of his granddaughter. There is another scene, after they rob the bank, Willie is sick and hospitalized, Al: "We are your friends, all of you." Although he is old, he still cares about friends and regards friends as an important part of life . The second is a question to think about. Why did the three old people rob the bank? To get the pension that should belong to them. Joe's house is about to be confiscated, Will has no money to see his family, and his pension money is gone, leaving the poor old man desperate. The pension of the elderly cannot be guaranteed, and the problems of the whole society can be considered. The elderly have worked hard for decades, but in the end they can't guarantee their old age. The third is to have the courage to fight at any age. In the play, three old people rob a bank. Although they are old, they have great courage. Courage is important no matter what age you are, as long as you think, nothing is impossible, of course if you do the right thing. The final twist in this play is a surprise.
