I want to talk to him

In June 2007, a death row inmate in Texas, USA, had a whim. He wanted to tell jokes to end his life. Before the execution, he had collected many jokes through letters and emails and spent time in prison. After sixteen years, he only said: Death set me free, this is the biggest joke.

By the way, his name is Knight.

But then again, who cares? He has many names, death row prisoner, murderer, scum, scum. Yes.

Some people say, after watching this movie, will you change your attitude towards these special groups?

And I think that the happiness of society lies in the fact that society places happiness to each specific person, rather than a broad group of people.

At the end of the movie, I was still in tears when I heard Jack's message, even though the ending was expected.

Jack is alone. It's not a special group of people, and it can't be defined by labels such as "scum" and "scum".

He is a man, he used to do what the devil did, but now, he seems to be right in front of us, he cherishes his hard-earned new life, works hard, he thanks Terry but hasn't learned how to show that he is in The girl he likes is at a loss. When he sees the accident car running off the road, the first thing he thinks of is to save people. He is awkward in the praises of others and tries hard to learn to enjoy it. He is worried about losing this life. Sometimes, there is a shadow of our friend in him. He was so flesh and blood, not the unforgivable murderer depicted in the cold print of the newspaper.

Some criminals are still committed criminals after they are released. People say that dogs can't stop eating shit.

But what is the relationship between the actions of other criminals and Jack?

I don't see his hatred, I don't see his hostility. All I saw was a helpless boy who was frightened by the reporters surrounding him when he was going out, ran into his room as if running away, and hid in the corner and cried. And he could only hopelessly say to the air, I am no longer that boy. But there is no audience.

In the message to Terry, he said I'm sorry. why are you sorry? For this unwilling world? Or for this world that doesn't want to listen?

Like Knight, perhaps, for Jack, death is freedom. What a joke, but a sad one.

The world uses its own eyes to divide the world into "good people", "bad people", "poor", "abhorrent", "forgivable" and "forgivable". . When we don't know, don't understand, but self-righteously label everything we see and even think we understand the world, the world is no longer colored, just some boring labels that reflect what we lack all the time heart.

Remember what Red said when he was successfully paroled in The Shawshank Redemption?
"Rehabilitated? Let me say, I don't know what that is", "It's just a function word to me, a word invented by politicians to get you guys in suits and ties to work", "I don't have a day without I regret it, but not the punishment. I look back and think about the little fool who committed a serious crime. I want to talk to him and I will try to reason and make him understand. But I can't do it. That boy has long been It's gone, only my old body is left."

I want to talk to him , I want to try and talk some sense to him , tell him the way things are . But I can't .

Nobody can.

But one One thing we can do is to stamp them a seal of permission to enter this world in front of their sincere eyes.
