The moment Edward Norton turned around with his head holding his head, his eyes shot a greedy and contented look. I didn't know why, I cried. What kind of world is this, hatred can make people lose and ignore life. But can hatred make us happier? Derek only got a life in prison and a suffering family. Norton's acting skills often shock me. In each role, you can't find his personal shadow at all. He is completely integrated into the role. I think even in Hollywood now, there are only a handful of them that can do this.
We often complain, complain about society, complain about people around us, complain about life. We questioned God, but couldn't get the answer. Just because we asked the wrong question.
"Has anything you've done made your life better?" Sini's words made Derek the first tears of regret and made me think a lot. Yes, life needs to be changed by yourself. Did we really work hard before complaining?
PS. When I watched this film for the first time a few years ago, how could I vaguely remember that there was a sentence in the film, "Every choice we make is to make our lives better", now I look at the original text as " Has anything you've done made your life better?". I don't know if it was a translation problem or I remembered it wrong. This sentence once became the norm of my life in those few years, and it is still today, and I think it will always be.
