Growth done in prison

For some reason, I feel sad when I watch this movie. I feel unbearable pity for the suffering of the mankind. There must be darkness behind the light. Hegel once said that "everything exists has its inevitability", but I still feel sad for everyone in the film. Everyone chooses a different track, maybe it's not their volition, maybe it's helpless forced by life. Seeing Eben in prison step by step toward a farther darkness, maybe you can say that he has grown and matured, but I still feel that this is him falling into a deeper abyss. We are not qualified to criticize other people's way of life, because we do not understand the helplessness and remorse without personal experience.
Although some friends say that this is a man's film, there is no trace of warmth, but I still stubbornly believe that even in this gray-toned gangster film, there is still a touch of warmth like winter sunshine from time to time. Infiltrate a little bit. Seeing the only friend in prison saying happy birthday to Eben; seeing Eben in a white shirt standing and thinking alone by the sea; seeing his friend's child babbling in Eben's arms; seeing the light, Seeing the clouds, seeing the sky... everything symbolizes the beauty and warmth in their lives. Maybe they once had hope, the desire for life no matter who will have it. So when Eben's friend (I forgot his name~~) will desperately look up through the window at the moment before his death, trying to remember the last wind of this world he still misses, the last wind bright.
Eben's upbringing was done in prison. In any case, he is no longer an ignorant big boy.

    From this point of view, the prison has the same meaning as the Central Party School and the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business.
