The male protagonist is a typical American-style rebellious teenager. His broken family made him not get enough love. After he was discharged from the army, he became a gangster to find the so-called freedom. The background of the story takes place in the context of the Great Depression and Prohibition in the United States. The male protagonist falls in love with a woman who is the boss of the district until they are found stealthily. In a critical moment, the father of the male protagonist comes forward to rescue him in time, using himself in the police. The relationship with the company, the male protagonist did not get a serious prison sentence. After being released from prison, in order to avenge his ex-girlfriend's bloody revenge, he joined another gang and started a bootleg wine business in a new place. Because the failure of the casino business led to a fatal disaster, the male protagonist had long expected that he had made preparations, and finally quit the gang and enjoyed the happiness of the family. The final film combines a variety of emotions, the love of men and women, the love of father and daughter, and the last brotherhood. The death of the wife at the end also confirms what the hero's father said at the beginning, and you will get what you deserve. It can be said to be the first echo. In the film, you can see how depressed the American people are in the context of prohibition, and there are differences between classes. Because the male protagonist is the second generation of officials, he can do a lot of things. In the film, he ends up with his ex-girlfriend. The dialogue can feel that the ex-girlfriend still loves him, but because there is no family background like her boyfriend, she must protect herself, even through despicable means. In short, the diversity involved in the film is what I like, the Great Depression, Prohibition, gangsters, religion, love, family, friendship and so on.
