I was taken in the car in childhood and looked back at my friends. It was confusion, fear of the unknown in my heart.
Later, the two brothers took him into the car and looked out the window sadly and helplessly. This time he had a foreboding, but he was unwilling to face it. He smiled flatteringly and said that I lost the money for the first round of drinks. This detail may be irrelevant, but it is kind and weak.
Dave was so helpless and confused from start to finish. He was a weak man from beginning to end, kind and a sense of justice, but he ended up with the worst of the three.
Just after reading it, you may feel indignant and unfair.
But this is life. It is not expected that the wicked will be rewarded. It can only be said that turning the wicked into a wicked person is already the greatest punishment for oneself. Good people do not necessarily have rewards. If you do not have enough courage to penetrate the darkness, you may be swallowed by the darkness.
Part of Dave's death was caused by himself. He has been expecting Ai Ai to live in the shadows and refuse to come out. He hid the past, didn't dare to talk or ask for help, just rotted silently in his heart.
But there is no harm in life, even if you are as strong as Jimmy, you still have to experience the pain of bereavement. It's just that Jimmy chose to face it, and he will endure any result.
Of course, some people say that childhood shadows are more intense and will affect the trajectory of a person's life.
But this is fate, there is no choice to be born. Childhood cannot be avoided. I can only use Li Buyi's very vulgar words, I believe in my fate, but I don't accept my fate. He complained that the injury caused him to lose his youth. But it was himself who gave up his youth in the end.
Can't accept fate. If you admit your fate, you lose.
All the injuries you have suffered cannot be used as an excuse for weakness in life.
My favorite actor was Sean Penn, but Dave was the one that moved me the most. Who has not experienced a dark and crooked time alone? It's just that some people have come out on their own, but some people have lost their way and turned around, crying and kneeling, waiting for others to help. That person may appear, may never appear, this is impermanence.
At the moment of death, Dave realized that there were many things to fix and many people to cherish. It's too late for Dave, but it's not too late for people on the screen.
When I walked in the dark, there was a word that I never forgot. That was a line from Wu Zhenyu torturing the hostages in "Tea Dance": "Death is not necessarily the worst thing. The worst thing in life is...weakness."
When you admit your weakness, you also declare yourself. die.
