thieves are right

The movie is called Good Guy, and it also has another translation called Pirates and You Dao. I still think Pirates and You Dao can better highlight what the director has to say.
Henry's dream since he was a child was to join a gang, yearning for that kind of free and unfettered life. Of course, his dream came true when he was a teenager. He helped the gang to steal, rob, and was caught in the police station for the first time, without revealing anyone's information, the gang people came out and told him that they were proud of him, proud of him, and seemed to have gained more trust. There is a brotherly love between the two, and there is also a thief, which seems to be the inflection point of the whole film.
Tommy kills for the sake of a sentence, killing is just a small daily matter for him; Jimmy killed all the brothers who helped him rob the robbery, just for his own money, without any morality; Henry lived in prison, Paulie didn't care about his family and left him to fend for himself. Henry could only sell drugs to make a living. After he was released from prison, Paulie came forward to prevent Henry from selling drugs, just for fear of affecting him. All the characters in the film don't see any humanity, they are all for themselves.
The godfather and the good guy both describe the stories of gangsters, but they are completely different. The godfather is a gentleman who stands behind and strategizes. The good guy is a gangster without any humanity, and there is no trust between people. Piece together. Henry started out for freedom, in order to live a life of intoxication, and into gangs for an unfettered life, and finally he turned to tainted witnesses in order not to be killed by those who took advantage of him, but he still likes gang life, towards Jiu Evening 5 can't make him infatuated with money, but the real gang can't even talk about freedom, and even his life can't be guaranteed.
