Carlitos, who has a beautiful face, loves his family, and even has a girlfriend, looks like an ordinary teenager; he has committed multiple murders and thefts, either inadvertently or intentionally, as if the destruction was innate.
He does things just out of intuition, to satisfy that experience.
He started stealing guns, not because of murder, but because a shooting in the basement made him addicted to the thrill of shooting. When he saw the earring he liked, he put it on immediately, looked at it carefully, and when he saw the safe, he immediately persuaded his companions to open it; although they were stealing at the time, he always let his inner impulses rule. He observed the sleepy old man in the hotel, pinning a stolen brooch to his chest, perhaps as a gift, like he gave his girlfriend a stolen necklace, thinking it would make them happy.
He didn't steal anything to sell it for money. The value of any object to him is only the degree of satisfaction of his psychological impulses at that time.
His indulgence of that longing in his heart was the source of his "crime". After firing a gun, he went on to "help a person die with a gun", shot the sleeping person directly in the head, and then drove to murder his friend Ramon, and finally burned the face of Miguel, who had been shot by him, with flames. . And this was already foreshadowing when he first approached Ramon by pointing the flame at the back of Ramon's head. On the first visit to the jewelry store with Ramon, he was dissuaded by Ramon and failed to open the huge safe; after Ramon died, he went for the second time, finally satisfying his impulse and curiosity. Although there is nothing in it, it is not important to him, all he wants to do is to open it. At the end of the movie, he wanted to see his mother, so he called and told him where he was. He didn't care about the results that might be revealed, he didn't think about the results, as long as he could listen to the radio and dance.
He also has love, he will give his girlfriend gifts, he will want to hug and dance with Ramon, he will want to give a brooch to a stranger. But he doesn't really care: he doesn't care about any rules, any life or death, any consequences, including himself. So he "cheated", "stealed" and "murdered," because the whole point of his existence was to satisfy that pure desire in his heart.
"Artists and fugitives are the real life"
His companions didn't believe that there was nothing in the safe, and that any ordinary person would probably not believe that someone would take so much effort to open an empty box, just as they didn't believe that someone like Carlitos could be called an "angel".
