Does the thief have a clue?

Martin Scorsese is a true "realist" director. He was as calm as a ramble, telling stories of gangsters. They terrorize, rob, fall in love, have children, kill, sell drugs, take drugs, and have birthday parties. Just like we eat, drink, and wash our faces, they are the daily life of gangsters. It has no temperance, it can do whatever it wants, only you have a gun, a fierce and self-respecting heart, and you can get wealth, power, and even status that ordinary people can't reach. It's bounded only by the size of your fist and the amount of trickery, and nothing else. Life thus becomes a process of constant fighting, calculating, and constantly seeking excitement. Once it stops, it means life is over. They do not know what meditation is. They are the picture of this world. Martin Scorsese wasn't harsh enough, he actually followed the end of the true story, getting the mob boss jailed and the protagonist living a mediocre life. Because if you compare it with "No Country for Old Men", you can see that justice has been unable to win in modern society. Perhaps, Martin Scorsese has another dream.
