whole process is very long. At the end, I saw that Joe escaped from the night life, returned to Cuba, and lived a peaceful life. During the period, there was a very detailed description of why medical tape is needed when growing tobacco. Tobacco growers say that the whole world does not like to be hungry, so children have to work hard from six in the morning to eight in the evening. Life during the day, this is the life of ordinary people.
This is in sharp contrast to the previous night life. It is calm and comfortable. It is the day life that Joe slowly understands after experiencing all the things. He would never think about blowing up a large military ship, nor would he worry about Tampa's fearful night life.
But if Joe hadn't experienced a nightmare life, would he be willing to spend his life in peace? Absolutely not. Just like what Wang Jiawei said in "The Evil in the East", you tell a person that the mountain is still a mountain, but he doesn't believe it, so he has to go there by himself. Life is like this.
At night, you can be free from the law, you can create the law yourself, but just as Joe's father and his wife said, what should be returned will eventually be returned (similar to this kind of words). In the end, Joe did not get a good ending. I think he would definitely regret his wife’s death, but since he chose to go this way, he should also be aware of all possible consequences (which gangster thought he could live to grow old) ?).
Yes, gangsters are not outsiders. Joe's first murder in the book was when he rescued Graciela in Tampa (the Shanhu section). Even halfway through the book, Joe still believed that he was just an outsider. But later, we easily discovered that the number and frequency of Joe's killings were shortening.
It's not that difficult to kill someone the first time, and then kill it a second time and a third time.
Joe always thought that he could live in the night and free from the rules of night, but he was wrong, and eventually he admitted that he was a gang member.
The great thing about this book is that the background of the entire era is in the United States and Cuba in the 1920s and 1930s, just like Jin Yong likes to put the protagonist in a real historical background. For readers, this setting similar to the Godfather background is very interesting.
The movie that I watched directly after reading the book, the movie version of "Life in the Night" was too shallow. The whole story has been partially changed, but many lines follow the original. I feel that the movie is like a running account of the entire book (this analogy is not very good). The story basically talks about 70% of the things in the book, but it is all in one area, and it does not focus on portraying the characters.
Friends who have read the book, it should be better to go to the movie, because the movie mentions most of the things, so it can be used as a tool for reviewing memories after reading the book...
It is my choice whether to live during the day or at night , The night is not depravity, it does not mean that you go to robbery, go to the bar to make trouble, go to drug, go to whoring, or live at night.
You see Joe has done so many things, but why is he different from gangsters, why can he establish his own set of rules wherever he goes, and why can he be reused in so many places?
The answer was taken by the author, and friends who have read the book may not remember this detail-Joe has been reading the book for two years in prison!
Yes, reading makes me happy, reading makes me full! I love reading.
As the saying goes, you are obsessed with life at night, you can indulge yourself at night, you can do whatever you want, you can fall, but you can only be a supporting role, just like the humble characters in the book
-want to be In the end, the outlaws became the gangsters of other people's families. Why is this happening?
The reason is simple: in life at night, falling is easy. Everyone can fall, but those who live under the rules of the night, but have the patience to persist in the habit of reading books, are the potential big players in the future. boss!
