Perseverance of idealists

Idealists still need "unclean" money in the violent years to continue. It is the black and white combination of Abl and Anna that has allowed the company to rapidly develop into a New York oil giant in 15 years, allowing other small companies The company was secretly attacked by jealousy, making the local inspector question the innocence and make things difficult. I believe that what Abl says to his employees is based on his sincerity. They are the code of conduct he has always believed in. He hopes that employees will grow and realize their dreams, and that the company will develop and realize his dreams. I think Abl did not give up his principle at the end. He encouraged Julian to have the courage to start again, but when he realized that Julian felt pain due to the strong contrast between ideals and reality, not everyone could have his firm ego. Fear is more afraid of perseverance to fail. After he promised to take good care of Julian's family, he let Julian end up his misery, just as Anna shot and killed a deer that was hit and seriously injured. It was compassion and kindness. Julian, as the epitome of immigrants with the American dream in that era, he also tried his best to fight, but there are always difficulties waiting for him in his life. His incompetence and weakness pushed him into a more complicated dilemma. Seeing Abl's short-term success and the calmness in the face of various difficulties, he felt a strong imbalance in his heart. He was unwilling to the status quo, but he did not have the courage to change the status quo, which eventually led to an outbreak. But fortunately, Julian was kind-hearted after all. He thanked Abl for everything he had done for him. He didn't aim the gun at Abl but himself. But those small and medium-sized practitioners who steal Abl’s oil, they see Abl’s growth, and feel jealous that Abl’s bad business is the cause of Abl’s damage, but they don’t see Abl’s great efforts for the company and its own problems. He changed his business strategy and tried to steal Abl's oil again and again. After being caught by Abl, he still said that he did not work for others, but only worked for himself. Many people say that the script is a bit weak. The reason is that the plot is based on Abl’s perspective. Abl is busy realizing his dreams and has no time to take care of the feelings and thoughts of others. At the same time, he has a strong ego and does not understand other people’s excuses, so he makes the plot look. It looks a little plain. When I write this, I think of a sentence the teacher said when I was in school: There are 10,000 reasons to give up, and only one belief is needed to persist. Don't find reasons for yourself. Whether you give up hard work or give up your inner principles, it's cowardice. I hope I can keep going.
