Persistence is good, stubbornness is easy to go overboard

Occupational disease, I found that the movie involved immigration, and my interest increased by one percentage point: as a new immigrant, more needs are to stabilize life as soon as possible and be recognized by the citizens of the immigrant country; the film's male protagonist, Masood's family of four, finally immigrated to the United States and once served in Iran. The identity and pride of a colonel, spending a lot of money to marry a daughter, letting his son go to a good university, and his wife living a very delicate life... Everything needs money, starting from buying a house auctioned by the county government ~
new immigrants want to be recognized, First of all, you must have your own real estate. Masood happened to take a fancy to the real estate that Casey was auctioned by the county government. It was also the inheritance of Casey’s father who worked hard for 30 years to repay the loan to their brothers and sisters. It happened that her mother and aunt's family were going to visit their happy young Kathy couple in two weeks. In fact, Kathy's husband had left her for eight months; Sheriff Lester, who dealt with the move out of the house, referred him to contact the relevant legal aid, full of hope to get the property back as soon as possible, but Masood was full of plans, bought the property for more than 40,000 US dollars, and wanted to sell it for more than four times the price. , the foreign country is so big that the laws and regulations of each state and each county are different. From the perspective of this film, from the perspective of human nature and related laws, the opinions and needs of Masood, the current owner of the property, will be respected first, even if it is because of the county government. The fault of wrongful convictions caused by wrongful convictions; of course, it is not impossible to get the property back if everything is pursued according to the relevant legal procedures on Casey’s side due to serious losses, but it only takes a few months or even longer. Saying that, you can't hide the truth from your upcoming family; the male lead and the second sheriff, Lester, is married with a son and a daughter, and his wife is a former friend. It sounds like a very stable and enviable life, but Lester has Very disapproving, on the contrary, the situation of Casey in need of help gave Lester more opportunities and more purpose to approach Casey, euphemistically called help, help Casey to change his name to warn the Masood family, and help Casey to retake it. real estate…
The three protagonists of this film are all trying to stick to their ideas. Masood insists on becoming a superior person through this property, Casey insists on reclaiming the property as soon as possible, and Lester insists on helping Casey, whether through legal means or not. , and in the end, their persistence led to the occurrence of tragedy; every time I saw the tragic plot, I would think, why do we have to persist in this way? If it were more roundabout, wouldn't there be such a tragedy? Perseverance can be said to be a noun, adjective, and a verb that tends to be beautiful. Persistence in our dreams will one day become a beautiful reality, but on the way to perseverance, we have chosen many dangerous shortcuts, more of which are Insecure factors instead of stable success~

    Ben Kingsley is a niche professional in Hollywood, Indian, Jewish (Schindler, Oliver Twist), Iranian, Persian. . . It's really rare in Hollywood where racial actors can't make it to the first-level stage, anyway, although the number of such films is small, you always have to find someone to act in, and it is estimated that you will think of him all the time. Mr. Police is the captured pilot in Black Hawk Down.
