Rose's departure leaves Jim like a corpse, and life has no meaning for him. In his view, the person who caused his wife's suicide is officially Wallstreet those so-called financiers, the so-called successful people. So, he chose revenge. At the beginning, he was a little scared and hesitant, but whenever he saw the photo of his beautiful wife, the fire of revenge ignited again in his heart. After careful planning, he successfully shot one Wall Street "elite" after another. The final shot of the film is the climax.
Among them, the most wonderful is the conversation between Jim and the manager of the real estate company. Jim believes that all the tragedies are caused by him. The boss believes that none of the successful people's money is obtained through legitimate means. This is capitalism, "strong survive, weak die out." What's even uglier is that the boss said that if he has children, he will let the children Go to Harvard, Yale, instead of being a soldier, defending the country, that's what disabled, fools, white ghosts, and ghetto black people do. This exposes the ugly faces of the so-called "lady" in the upper class of the American society.
At the end of the film, Jim kills the boss and escapes successfully. Although there are loopholes in the plot, at least everyone's wishes are satisfied. Jim's final words were sobering: I'll keep killing. I am a soldier of the people. If the government, the procuratorate, the judges cannot perform their duties, I will continue my way.
Although the ending seems to be very happy, it also makes people feel a little bit painful. Although he has revenge, he has lost the love of his life, and there are not a few poor people in the United States who have been victimized by him, and the rich people lied to their blood and sweat. Money goes to investment, to defraud loans, to declare bankruptcy if it fails, and then to get federal aid, and in the end it is the poor who are unlucky, and it is the poor who pay for them. If this situation continues for a long time, it will only make the poor poorer and the rich richer, then where will the country go?
