The love and protection of bloody men

The plot is very similar to the Prophet. One of the differences is that the Prophet's male protagonist is completely made of steel by a weak and soft person. The director's sharp style and creative lens language make me think of the Prophet. The film is regarded as a gangster classic. However, the male protagonist of this film has an innate advantage, a strong physique without anger and self-control, and a financial elite with a business mind, so he quickly ascended the position with almost no humiliation.

Spoilers are not spoilers.

This film seems to be gentle, but it is full of undercurrents and fluctuations. I was also shocked when I watched several climax scenes, especially the deep love of the male protagonist for his family, which moved me deeply.

Recommended to see.

  • Bottles: The fact is, we all started out as someone's little angel. And a place like this forces us to become warriors or victims. Nothing in between can exist here.

  • The Beast: These cops think the more they lock us down and isolate us it strips us from our power, they even think we are a dying breed, they're dead fucking wrong.
