But this movie was kind of boring to me. The film tells the story of a bank robber who approached a girl he had kidnapped but fell in love with her and began to redeem himself. I watched the director's cut, which is Affleck's own cut, and it was two and a half hours long, which was way too long. But although the length is long enough, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is not so natural. After drinking a glass of wine, we went back to the yacht, and we planted flowers together, and they grew once and twice. There was no impressive story during the period, and I felt that it lacked enough convincing.
It was the violent man, the talented classmate who spent a lot of space. If you remove some scenes of this person and add some warm stories between the male and female protagonists, it will make this relationship more full. I guess, maybe, classmate Affleck is an emotional rookie?
But I really like the pun at the end of the heroine, which was originally said by his jailed dad: I know I'll see you again, this side or the other. The dude who translated the subtitles translated: We will meet again, inside or outside. Although this translation is more "faithful", it is not "da" and "elegant" enough. If it were me, it would be translated as: There will always be a time to meet again, whether it is this life or the next life.
