It's even better than expected. I watched the 150-minute extended version, which depicts the characters more delicately. It is these delicate descriptions that make every character in the play rich and full. It is for this reason that even the supporting roles of the young man and the big fat man in the four-person team are a little moving when they sacrifice. I just want to commit a crime... The protagonist's brother is stabbed in the ribs. When the protagonist says he is going to beat someone, he will do it without saying a word. When the protagonist wants to leave, he will finally let go even if he is angry, let alone for him served nine years in prison. Because in his heart, he has already given up on his life, and some are just brotherhood and constant search for excitement. In the end, when he was shot to death, I felt that the protagonist was too selfish and not enough brother. I thought he would drive a car and rush over to rescue his partner who was full of scars. And he only thinks about himself, which is too rational, because he knows that he is just going to die in vain, but he still has unfinished things: killing the flower shop owner, saying goodbye to his girlfriend, and redeeming his past, but he wants to Think possible? The rest of his life can only be spent in constant escape, and it is impossible for him to have a formal job, to work underworld, to be impoverished, and to live in the double torture of body and mind all his life. He either starved to death, or was beaten to death by hooligans in a foreign country, or was eventually caught and thrown into prison, or he couldn't bear the mental torture and committed suicide, or he was forced to go back to his old ways... In short, the power of cause and effect has destined him The rest of his life cannot be spent peacefully, and under non-idealism, how can redemption come from?
But when the music finally remembered, when I looked back at him, I found that instead of being annoying at all, I felt a little distressed. He was born into a criminal family, and his fate had already been arranged. My mother passed away early but was kept in the dark all the time. She continued to sacrifice her life for her mother-killer. She fell in love with her brother's sister, but she didn't know whether the child was her or not. Finally, she finally found true love, but found happiness like this. short. Rather than being in love and not being able to be together, it is better not to meet, but not to be able to meet each other. Every day, we can only accompany each other with thoughts. How cruel is this.
I can't hate the male protagonist, not only because of his tragic life experience, but also because he is selfish, but he is not like the male protagonist in other films. He doesn't suddenly become weak and kind because he likes a woman. He wanted to quit, but after repeated persuasion by his brother, he would still continue to work. When the woman he liked was bullied, he would still beat her with an iron bar, and even smash his wrist, as fierce as ever. When the action is exposed, he will still take up guns and fight to the death with his brothers. Yes, he is still the same, and he will not suddenly become another stranger, and he will not suddenly change from a gangster to a saint. After learning the truth about his mother, after the loved one drove him away, and after everything became helpless, he would still buy drugs to vent, shoot randomly into the air, he was still the gangster, but I'm glad that , this is the truth, this is what ordinary people should look like. There are no superheroes in life, only stark reality.
The film's portrayal of the male protagonist is very full. He is smart, humorous, good in skills, strong in physique and not lacking in ruthlessness, but his evil is not pure evil. Even in the robbery, he tried not to kill a single person. When the group was about to be destroyed at the end, he also distressed his younger brother to go out and surrender himself, and told him that no one would hate him. Can you hate him? He just regards robbery as a kind of livelihood, and this kind of livelihood has been passed down from generation to generation, and he does not have many choices. He also knew that life and death depended on fate and wealth, and he had already planned for the worst, so he said his final goodbyes when he went to visit his father. In fact, it can be seen that his heart is still kind, but the surrounding environment has cultivated him into a robber. He doesn't want to hurt anyone, unless he is forced to help, he knows how to be grateful, and he will always remember the kindness of his brother's family to him. It just happened like this, full of helplessness, or that sentence, there are no superheroes in life, only naked reality!
