good guy

This translation is very precise, try to read it with surprise and dissatisfaction, good guy!

The relaxed and harmonious first-person narration in the first part of the film is very classic. What an aspirational picture of life it was.

As a high school student, I've made more money than all the "serious" adults in this neighborhood.

I've helped my peers park their Cadillacs while they're still kidding around on the street, and I might not be able to see the front of the car.

When my mother came home from grocery shopping, the children in the neighborhood helped her pick up the vegetables because they respected me.

No one has ever dared to park in front of my house, even though I don't have a car.

Grabbing something almost without violence, everything seems to be a matter of course.

The first time I was arrested, I didn't say anything. When I got out of prison, I got congratulations from almost all the bosses at the same time. They applauded in unison, one by one cordially like family members.

People who think they work hard all day for a meager salary are stupid, and at the same time live by their own set of rules, that's who they are. Not sticking to the vulgarity, it is fascinating!

The whole story is very immersive.

However, I still can't figure out why Henry wants to betray everyone?

Life imprisonment or betrayal of everyone. After betraying them, Henry changed his name and changed his surname and left to start a new life, even his parents could not see each other again.

Maybe it's a fan of the authorities! He has nothing but them, he doesn't know anything but the mafia, he's used to that environment like a fish gets used to water. What can he do next?

Selling them out to me is as absurd as betraying my own family. At that moment he forgot to take care of him and care for them as he watched him grow up.
