The film tells the story of a man who was released from prison to rebuild a new life, but because of the past, he struggled to find but encountered many obstacles, and finally ended in failure. First of all, in general, about the past, everyone has it, but not everyone can let it go. Once we were shy about the past, those people, those things, and even our past self, there are always traces. We often want to completely get rid of these traces. Just like the protagonist in the play, but the more he wants to get rid of it, the more he can't get rid of it. On the contrary, he is entangled in the past, dragged into the abyss, and finally killed by his "past". Here, I can't help but think of a word - the protagonist who was killed by his own past in the end of the karma drama is actually the protagonist's forgiveness to get rid of his own past. Cause and effect reincarnation, why was he not a demon who fell into the gang? Now being killed by a kid who is also a gangster, I can't help but sigh. Is there really no way for people to get rid of the past and get a new life? The play also provides us with the answer. After the protagonist gets out of prison, he can choose to escape, go to a new place, and start over, but his so-called friend came to pick him up and rescue him, and he accepted it. Because, every step of his later seems to be set, pick up the wound again, kill again, these are taken for granted by the protagonist in the play (protecting relatives, protecting friends), but they become dark. Catalyst, every action, there is a struggle, I want to be a new person, but often forced by reality, constantly deceive myself, and finally doomed... self-inflicted, can't live.
I think everyone has seen this and already knows the point of view this movie wants to convey to us. There are several, one of which is forgiveness. With forgiveness and indifference to everything, the protagonist in the play will not be so fanatical, take revenge on the enemy, look down on everything, um, but in this way, can relatives and friends be considered cold-blooded? This is the second point of view, which is more important between affection, affection and self. If you want affection, you must give up the broadness of forgiveness and not violate your original intention; if you want to be self, you must give up the strong kinship and brotherhood, and achieve the big goal. What to choose? It must be said that it is difficult and contradictory. People are emotional animals, but they are also rational animals. The choice of the protagonist, the consequences, has just been mentioned. Is it possible to have both, someone will ask, just like a seesaw that is always balanced? Or a mix of both? This is a really difficult choice...
Second, in terms of parts. The protagonist, whose feelings are constantly changing, is firm to the point of doubt, and finally repeats the same mistakes. The belief is not firm, it is difficult to persevere, and it is difficult to succeed. When I was released from prison, I became a new person, and only bullets were replaced. All of this can be said to be a matter of choice, a matter of principle. The external environment is mostly only an external factor, and subjective factors are the most important. The important thing is to choose a goal and keep going. The second protagonist is very attentive. I saw this detail. The steak shop paid for the steak for himself before he finished eating, leaving the gang boss in the scene. I was very moved... The director arranged this small detail to show that the protagonist still has the determination to "I have nothing to do with the gangster", which is why I became more and more entangled after seeing it. The small details are very useful.
Second, the heroine, all the protagonists are to promote the development of the story, the heroine is a driving force, as a reclusive star, unwilling to make public appearances, isolated from the world, the male protagonist works as a bodyguard in his home, a potential male protagonist's He is a true reflection of the male protagonist’s inner pursuit. Similarly, there are frequent foreshadowings in the movie. The male protagonist wants to live the same life as the heroine, but the reality is ruthlessly suppressed again and again. The male protagonist went to see the female protagonist in New York after his revenge. When he finally wanted to live his life, he was killed by reality and died... I saw this endless entanglement. The male protagonist is living in a tangle these days, but Still not living the life you want. Tangled tangled tangled, the reasons have been mentioned above.
This is a good movie, everyone should go and see it. Too tangled, too tangled, tangled... How to choose between love and self?
