Being a good person is a wayward

Being a good person is a kind of willfulness. This sentence is the title of an article I saw on the Zhihu Daily app 7 years ago. It probably means why there are people like the male protagonist Richard in life. Knowing that being a good person is likely to be unrequited, or should you insist on being a good person? Probably willful.

When watching this movie, I feel very angry. I always see my shadow in the protagonist. Although the protagonist is much more socialized than me and has his own persistence, he has a great sense of justice. The policeman is proficient and can study the law at night. He likes military shooting very much. He is a natural person to be a good policeman. Unfortunately, in real life, after he left the position of deputy police officer, his security employment experience was not smooth for many times. , With dismissal as the end. Well, in my opinion, he is also a poor man as a security guard.

I remembered the protagonist saying a word, I used to be an FBI policeman as my professional dream, but now I find that you are not going to catch the real criminals in the bombing, instead you keep thinking that Richard is a criminal. , I don’t want to be an FBI policeman anymore.

Although Richard is a seemingly "perfect" suspect, a frustrated white man, a former police background and knowledge of explosives, he was the first person to discover the explosion. The dean of the university said that when he was a security guard, He is a person who likes to express himself. In fact, he is just a kind-hearted security guard with a sense of justice. He is only performing his own functions, even though he can take sick leave that day. As he said, no one wants to be a conscientious security guard, as long as he sees suspicious things. Just run the package. This is probably the restoration of the same scene in the workplace, doing more mistakes and doing less well. Speaking of due diligence, the policemen and reporters in the show may not be called.

Although, after the protagonist discovered that a wiretapping device was installed in his home, he had a big fight with the lawyer, saying that I just can't become you, I am me, I am very angry, but I didn't show it. Why did you choose you as my lawyer, because you are the only one who does not treat me as a 5-year-old child.

In my opinion, at a certain symbolic level, the protagonist and the lawyer are symbols of different stages of life. After all, they must fight back, remain angry, and become strong. This is probably my own life perception during this period of time.
