Butch was really good to Philip. He tried his best to give Philip the fatherly love he had never felt, longed for, and ideal. There was a tenderness that valued whether Philip's inner world was happy.
However, while teaching Philip courage, he taught him how to hold a gun, and he also taught him brutality; he told Philip that he could "borrow" things if he had to.
The family of four who were willing to take them for a ride was robbed of the car by them. Butch said he would pay it back, but is he really going to pay it back? I didn't see any signs that he was ready to pay it back. He said he would take good care of it, but turned his back. Just dusty. Even though they saw that their mother criticized the brother and sister who had made mistakes too harshly and objected, Butch did not raise it, but only offered to help by "borrowing" a car. What did Philip see beside him? Repaying kindness with resentment? Random promises?
The black grandpa who saw them sleeping in the car took the initiative to invite them to his house, there is indeed a problem with the method of educating his grandchildren, but this is caused by his deep-rooted thinking and experience, I don't think this kind of one-time violence can make him The violent part of human nature is improved. This may only allow Butch's inner desire for an ideal father to be vented.
Butch did give Philip a tender fatherly love, there is no doubt that Philip really liked Butch, but Philip shot the unique person in his life, got him arrested, and even died (this is not Philip's after all The reason, but he will most likely attribute it to himself), what exactly will that shot Philip fired and the scene of Butch's death leave on Philip's life, I don't think it's probably "Mother took him to the amusement park and gave him Eating marshmallows and sending him to trick-or-treating for Halloween" will make up for it and forget it.
Philip didn't take the mask and Butch's money in the end, but how those things he really took away would affect his life, for better or for worse, I really don't know, after all, growing up is a complex and unique thing.
