After watching the above movie, he has a lot of stamina, more than "Joker". The death of a close friend, the lack of communication with his mother, the incomprehension of the other three friends, and the outright rejection when he tried to talk to the priest in the confession room pushed Jim to drugs. He was crazy, he was indulgent, he was trampled by countless people like a muddy mud, and he couldn't extricate himself from the mud. Fortunately, the big black brother took him, and his mother was very wise to send him to prison, where he stopped gambling. Succeed, say goodbye to the rebellious past and become a writer and poet. In fact, the ending of the film is a bit hasty. If Jim's self-redemption is described in a larger space, the growth will be more touching, but the tone of this film is not sensational and warm. This is just a teenage savage growth history.

Compared with the abortion, secret love, and derailment of domestic youth dramas, this kind of movie is more real, cruel and shocking. Because he is too close to reality, every time I see some street gangsters who smoke, drink, drink, drug, fight, and fight, my parents always tell me that you have to study hard to be a good child, stay away from them, and don't be like them. But no one ever said that they were also pitiful, that they too needed salvation. The first person that comes to my mind after watching this is a classmate from elementary school. She regards me as a good friend. Her parents are divorced. She has no companionship and love. She is the exact opposite of me. When I was with a good girl like me, every time she came to see my parents, she would tell me, don’t interact with such people, don’t learn badly from her, until later my parents directly said that I was not at home, and she dropped out of school as expected. Mom once saw her fooling around with other boys by chance, and then I went to school abroad, and we didn't have any interaction at all. How many hers are there in the world, how many Jims are there in the world, everyone needs to be saved, everyone needs to be cared for, I really want to go back to the past and tell my childhood self, spend more time with her, invite her to eat at home more, at least Make her feel warm, and then in the end, only herself can save herself. I really hope she is doing well now.
