The gains and losses of humanity

In fact, I downloaded the movie for a long time, but it’s been delayed until today. At first it was because of Cage that I reluctantly insisted on watching it. After watching it all, I felt a little bit but not very big... The
first part was a bit boring, but with The progression of the plot gradually became a bit interesting and slowly unfolded the feelings about the gains and losses of human nature that the director wanted to convey.
To be honest, I have seen too many dramas in this area. I basically know what I want to say. But the narrative method is a bit different, so some passages are still more eye-catching and can evoke the audience to guess the changes in the plot.
The part where Cage killed the barking dog in the brothel with his own bulldog really made me laugh for a long time, and the part of beating the police was also very funny. The final public ending was slightly boring and did not explain whether it was life or death in the end, but it also gave people a little suspense.
Taken together, it is still worth recommending that time-killing films are more positive and hope that everyone in life can help those who are really weak.

    The details of sympathy for each other are too few, and they are only supported by the life insights of self-pity. The juvenile's family is terrifying, and the last seedling is full of hope.

    Alas, Uncle Cage can be rotten even in a literary film.

Joe quotes

  • Connie: What are you thinking, Joe?

    Joe: Nothing. There's nothing I can do and I hate it.

    Connie: That's not true.

    Joe: Yeah, it is. You look at me like I can make a move. What are you thinking when you look at me like that? Don't you care? I don't know who I am, but I know what keeps me alive is restraint. Keeps me out of jail. Keeps me from hurting people. A mark of some fucked-up faith that there's a reason. A reason for all of this. A reason in most moments I shouldn't do what I wanna do. I do as I'm told. These men who bust their asses work like dogs - and I believe in them - but every day they hurt. They get old, they peel back... There's no frontier anymore. And I watch that boy, and I see someone who's... nothing like me, but... he's a child folks left behind. And he's on a fence, balanced right there.

    Connie: What do you want? What is it you want?

    Joe: Nothing.

    Connie: Just tell me what I can do. I like you.

    Joe: I like you, too, but what's the point in any of it? Fuck to this day. I mean, fuck to this day. It's all just gonna boil up and wash us away. Maybe you'll still be here. Maybe you won't.

    Gary: Hey, you old man, you look at me. I got som'in' to say to you. Every time we land someplace new, you say it's gonna be different, but it ain't. You mess up... a lot... then you leave a mess for me and Momma and Dorothy to clean up, and that ain't right. That's all I'm sayin'. Hell, I do what I gotta do. You do whatever the hell you want - whatever you can get away with. You're just a... selfish old drunk. Yeah, that's what you is. Yeah, this place is gonna be after us. Hell, they'll be on you, and they're gonna beat your ass. And I hate to see you go down. You know you're my daddy. You know what you are, ain't you? I'm talking at chu.

    [Wade gives a long silent stare]

    Gary: What'chu done this time? They'll beat your ass, shit. That's what they're gonna do. You can count on it.

    [Wade suddenly slaps Gary then walks away]
