flowing relationship, flowing energy

The trauma of war prompts reflection.
How does a soldier who suffered from stress-attack in war and escaped from a court-martial survive in real life?
Jason Statham plays a soldier who goes by the pseudonym Joey and becomes a homeless person who makes a living by helping others deliver poison. During this period, he shared warmth with a woman named Elizabeth.
In a conflict over protection fees, Joey didn't fight back. A soldier who can charge on the battlefield is only because he must not fight back in a situation where he has to survive, because the situation may be worse if he fights back.
So he ran away.
This was his second escape, the first from a court-martial, unwilling to accept punishment, and the second from a trash can.
Wouldn't it be better for his recovery if he didn't escape from the military court that he'd be sent to a mental hospital and admitted to a hospital in the name of treatment? Or let it struggle to survive in this world as a vagabond?
He needed a stable home for spiritual recovery, so he came to the home of a stranger who had left for the summer; he needed someone who would give him supportive strength, so Sister Christina came to him.
This movie is very artistic. Joey settles down first, makes money for his ex-wife and daughter, helps the former homeless, and keeps in touch with Christina because of revenge for Elizabeth. Therefore, love is born in the process of getting along.
This is another process of mutual healing. The darkness and shadows in Christina's heart are healed by speaking out.
The ending is bright and perfect, and Joey is a good guy.
Everyone is stumbling around in this world, let the energy flow so that love can come in.

  • Cristina: You look like a good man.

    Joey: So take a picture.

    Joey: [in his letter] Now I go back to the street and disappear. I was alive again for one summer. I'm glad I spent it with you. I hope Africa treats you well. All my love, Joseph Smith.
