What exactly is the expression "Stand Up Guys"? If you want to understand, you can refer to "Falling Down" and "God Bless America" to watch together. They are all helpless people in reality, and they are also fighting against this crazy world with their lives. When Douglas fell from the bridge holding a water gun, when facing reality, the muzzle still raised the gun to remove the malignant tumor of this world, did you understand that Pacino and Walken and Margulies are also doing the same at the end of the film with the same cry!
Walken's gun is the shaking of one's conscience and social reality in reality. It is impossible for people not to yield to reality. Even a kind person will choose the wrong direction under the pressure of reality. In reality, those who can face social pressure and remain unyielding can only go to destruction under the pressure of society.
From the father's dialogue and the previous foreshadowing, we can imagine who killed Marglis' only son in the melee 28 years ago. "I am a responsible person" Pacino resisted 28 Years, is this just talking about cutting a knife for a friend? This just implies that the bearer of social responsibility must bear many secrets that even the parties are not aware of. So heavy, painful, living! Hold on! Just to be a socially responsible person!
Why is life so hard for a person who is willing to take social responsibility? Isn't the world kind? The reality is clearly not, otherwise Clinton would not be able to retire and continue to promote various aid and education programs. Clinton said, "Whenever you deprive others of development opportunities, you are preventing your own development." But the reality is that many people really don't seek their own development, they just keep choosing to deprive others of their development opportunities.
Is that just "do not suffer from poverty but suffer from unevenness, and do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from anxiety."?
It's absurd!
Human beings are lazy, but society progresses when human beings seek ways to make life easier for their own inertia! For the development of society, the mutual cooperation and common progress of human beings must be required, which must mean mutual tolerance and reconciliation. It is precisely the occupiers of social resources who will never be satisfied with what they have, but covet what others have, so Lao Tzu sighed, "The way of heaven is more than good, but the way of man is not. "! This sentence is in line with the words of the "Analects of Confucius"! No wonder the king of later generations cited the Analects of Confucius but did not speak of Morality. Therefore, society can always move forward in drastic changes, rather than peaceful forward evolution.
As ordinary people, we can't seek to destroy ourselves like the pure and good people in the movie. We can only curse ourselves in private, curse the fucking world. Only on the day we die can we finally say goodbye to the fucking world.
