You don't have to be ugly, and they don't have to be noble

I hate that condescending look the most!

Some people feel that they are very noble, and they are blind to BIBI on various platforms, accusing this and condemning that;

Some people feel that they work very hard, and it is amazing that they have what they have today.

Some people feel that they are very knowledgeable, look at this low, laugh at that vulgar...

And have you ever thought that you can be so noble, so honest, so knowledgeable, so rich, that your hard work can be rewarded, and it is also largely based on your birth and your luck.

Some people are born unfortunately at the bottom, he is vulgar, ignorant, violent, paranoid...but shouldn't they be judged by the lucky ones?

"City Thief"

I like this movie very, very much.

There is a small town in the movie, and there are always robbers in this town.

He's a robber with a lot of brains,

Know the first step on the spot to fully understand the situation, grasp the opportunity,

Knowing to use bleach to remove all DNA, clothing fibers on site,

Know the vehicle that burns down the action, so that no trace is left.

Thought it would be perfect.

But the police quickly found him, because he couldn't eliminate his birth. They grew up in this small town full of stigma, not to mention hiding themselves, just trying to prove themselves, it is very difficult.

His father was a robber. When he was a child, his father told him that his mother had escaped, and he searched outside alone for a long, long time.

Later, when his father was in prison, he stayed at a friend's house and had new family members or partners—a brother and sister, a manic older brother and a rambunctious younger sister.

As an adult, he was selected for the small town's ice hockey team, but was withdrawn from the team due to conflicts with members of the team.

The dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, he is the son of the mouse, digging a hole.

After leaving the team, he started selling drugs and then organized robbery.

Rob the bank and get a lot of money,

But is he happy?

He is not happy.

When he was squandering the money, he was very empty.

In the last robbery, they kidnapped a female bank clerk and wounded a bank manager, all of which made him feel guilty.

Hearing that the female clerk was renting in their small town, he followed her and saw the panic she caused by the case.

He couldn't help but approach her, "pity" can indeed generate "love".

What's more, this girl was very sincere to him, she told him her experiences and shared her growing pains with him.

She told him that her own brother died of illness on a sunny day, so she had a shadow on every sunny day.

She smiled at him sincerely, and looked at him with admiration instead when he recounted the past when he quit the ice hockey team.

He decided to leave this small town with her.

She gave him a direction, he worked hard, was brave, and he could live another life.

But how could he have such good luck, once he stepped into the mire, he could only sink to the bottom.

Back then, his father killed his wife tragically because he wanted to quit.

Yes, his mother had never abandoned him, and his father's lie was to give him an expectation and an expectation for himself. He would rather his wife be a cold-blooded and ruthless woman than if she were gone.

Father's fate seems to be his fate.

In order to keep his beloved girl from harm, he is forced to rob the bank again.

The presentation of the film is actually very objective. His family of origin was sporadically brought out by the police or others, and he did not deliberately highlight his misery to arouse sympathy.

His shortcomings are also shown:

He was aggressive. He heard that the girl he liked was harassed by local hooligans, so after a premeditated plan, he rushed to the person's house and cleaned her up severely.

He was intoxicated with money,

He goes to drugs when he is angry,

He is a criminal.

In addition to him, the film also objectively presents other people:

His brother, the robber, is extremely brutal but loves justice.

Their group of 4, although criminal, seems to have a heroic "death as home".

That group of cops scoffed, but they would also laugh at a certain suspect during a meeting,

He also chooses to back down when he encounters criminals who are too much stronger than himself.

All of the above are understandable.

Don't criticize at will, and don't criticize at will.

"Awe" is the basis of "kindness".

This is a very warm film, it allows us to see the "imperfection" of people, and also allows us to experience "tolerance".

When he was so attached to her, in front of the police with "it's a sunny day" to remind him to escape, he was redeemed.

The bank money buried in the flowerbed was donated by her to the ice hockey team, and he and she would definitely meet again.

A truly kind person will respect everyone's life, maybe that person is downright or vicious, but if you don't understand everything, you don't need to talk nonsense.

In fact, this movie is also a kind of redemption for me.

I don't think the heroine has Stockholm Syndrome, she clearly knows he's a criminal because he confessed to her. But even so, in her eyes, he never hurt her.

"You're here, it's a sunny day today" seems like a love sentence, but to him, it's a life-saving word.

I always thought that his ending would not be good, but I didn't expect it.

So, don't get discouraged, and don't habitually think that the future will not go well after repeated setbacks.

I have been planted with this kind of thinking for a long, long time, thank you for the "sunny day", thank you for her willingness to stand by his side, and thank you for this movie that brings warmth.

Comfort myself again: I will not be frustrated all the time, I am not greedy, I am looking forward to the sun.

    A story of pure love under the cloak of violence. The translation of the version I watched is too bad, and a lot of the lines are not clear. The film written and directed by Aben is the same as his people. It is rough and straight, full of brainless handsomeness~ Uniform control recommends to watch
