I don't understand the meaning of the title at all

It was written earlier, attracted by the subject of sci-fi meaning, but gradually fell into a sad and pale story.

The protagonist is originally tragic. Even if he doesn't go to prison or become a gangster, he can't shake its tragic ending. As depicted on the cover poster, Malik is like a captured sparrow, always a lonely boat, or a lonely fire, always in a floating space and darkness.

Longing for freedom and ignorant of the injustice of fate, the film repeatedly shows Malik smoking a cigarette, looking out the window, and watching other inmates in the playground, as if he was locked up. The sun shines into the prison cell, and the shadow of the iron fence casts sharply on the face, like the scars drawn on the pale face, and the darkness around them is embarrassing. The eyes that are eager for the outside world have become empty, it seems that Malik has never thought about the reason for coming here, and he does not know why he is in prison. Everything is like fate.

And it was by coincidence that he was forced to kill people, which led him to the point of no return to crime. And who can guarantee that for 6 years of honestly living in prison, going out will be a good result. Malik knew that after he finished killing people, he realized that no one can control this, and he could only bite the bullet and continue on.
In the end, he established himself as a king and had his own world, but he did not show the coldness and domineering of the leader. Still as young and young as ever. Many people said that when they were released from prison, there was a car escort behind them, and their mood was no longer gloomy and sharp, but I really didn't see that.

I have to admire, it is the acting skills of the actors and the ability of the crew to choose. The male protagonist vividly interprets the helplessness and confusion in the film. Lucia asked him, don't you have any complaints, I used you as a temporary worker. Malik, of course, had complaints. At that time, he started a business by himself, including contacting the Muslim faction, which was enough to prove that he had a kind of ruthlessness in his heart. Later, the eyes were pierced by Lucia, and the seeds of hatred were planted around that time.

Finally completed the achievement of killing a few people in a row, still so timid and nervous.

This is the growth process of the little man. He was imprisoned at the age of 19, and after six years, the 25-year-old was involved in the gang. He was lucky in his life. He entered Dao by chance, caught up with the loss of people under the boss, gained trust, met friends and started business outside, and went out to perform missions three times.

Like many parallel universes, Malik has chosen a path of fortune but no turning back.

But I don't understand the meaning of the title, the film only successfully predicts that there is a deer in front of it

    It took almost a whole year to finish watching this movie. The first half is better than the second half, and the scene of hitting the deer and the ghost in the prison cell are the unforgettable parts of the movie.

    The jet lag was hangover. In the elgin theatre, a historic site in Toronto, the buddies slept to death and wasted a good movie. One year later, the second half of watching it is more ridiculous.
