When Henry told Julie that he used to be a toll booth employee, Julie said something like "Every day you watch people go where they want to go, but you can't get anywhere yourself."
This is Henry.
His life is very bland. Like all office workers, he goes to work on time every day, has his own family, and lives every day, but he does not know what he is doing every day, he has no dreams, no joy in life, Not to mention passion, at the beginning of the film, Henry sat blankly at the toll booth, ended his day's work, and drove home aimlessly as usual. The wife made breakfast, waited for Henry to eat, and then said a lot of things, Henry just answered them one by one perfunctory, even when his wife told Henry that she wanted a child, Henry still had no idea, living in Henry's life. Words are like corpses.
So much so that he was taken to the police station as a scapegoat. He still had no idea. He was a bad guy. Judging from the photo notes recorded by his classmates, he was a lousy and good monitor. That's why the skinny guy took Henry as a scapegoat. . But in fact, he always wanted to change in his heart, just like many ordinary people, life is not what we imagined, so when he was regarded as a scapegoat, he was actually thinking, will he be released from prison for a few years? , can be changed. Well, after a few years in prison, he found that as the old man in bed had said, nothing had changed at all. He still has no dreams.
So, he was still aimless, and then aimlessly returned to the so-called "crime scene", which is the door of the bank, so he was bumped, so he entered the cafe, went to the toilet there, and saw the wall The old newspaper, and then, he found what he called "dream" ------- the friends in the prison said, the prison is already sitting, of course, the crime will be committed. He thought about it. He wanted to rob a bank that he didn't rob before. In doing this bold action, he actually wanted to use it to change his life, not for money or anything, but just to change it.
He also deliberately went to the prison to lobby the old man who slept with him. The old man was also a man with no dreams and no meaning in life. He would rather stay in prison all the time. Although he refused to change on the surface, in fact, like anyone, he longed for change in his heart.
Then they steal the bank money just as they planned, and as the days go by, Henry begins to realize his true "dream" -- he wants to be with Julie. His life has actually changed. And what about Julie? what is jolie's dream, her dream is to be a real actress and act in hollywood, for which she is often like the tip of the iceberg, so that as the stammering russian director said, she can't even enjoy true love , so when Henry told her to meet in California later, she said to Henry, I don't think we're going to end up.
At the end of the film, they stole the money, and they can all run away together, but Henry chose to stop and made a real change in his sense, he went back, went back and told Julie that he loved her and hoped that she would be with him. Together, his and Julie's lives changed.
What about us, do we have the courage to change our lives? Of course, it is not for you to rob a bank too. This robbery is just a cover, and illegal things still cannot be done. The reason why Henry is willing to be a scapegoat is largely due to Because he is a really nice person, he is unwilling to confess his old classmates.
Finally, I want to talk about these two people.
The skinny guy---------As soon as I saw him, I knew that he was definitely not a good person. The first time, he took Henry as a scapegoat, and the second time, he wanted to take the bank's money for himself. This kind of person is cheap. If I were the director, I just let him go off with the gun when he was hanging out with the old man, and made him a
bank security guard————The security guard is very alert. If the bank is robbed, he will immediately If he could tell that Henry's car was picked up, he arrested Henry. Of course, he should have known that Henry was innocent afterwards, but he still dutifully arrested Henry. This man has worked in the bank for 30 years, and he did it silently. In 30 years, what did he get? His wife was sick, the insurance didn't pay, and his old employer, the bank, didn't care. This is his 30 years of silence. He is so sophisticated, so he finally helped Henry sell the bank, which was completely forced by the society. , quite a relief.
