It takes a price to be anyone

On Zhihu, read "What are some recommended action movies that can make one's blood boil after watching it? "When I asked this question, I found "The Avenger", thinking that the name is very unfamiliar, I guess I haven't seen it, but I felt deja vu after only 3 minutes of the movie, although I seem to have seen it, but the plot has long been forgotten, so I simply watch it again. again. The film is very burning. Compared with the previous realistic films, this one is full of American personal heroism. Anything you want to do."
When I was often moved by these bloody plots, but restrained myself and told myself that this TM was completely nonsense, I knew that I had gradually lost the courage to dare to think and do it.

The film begins with Alina and McCall walking on the bridge chatting about McCall's new book.
A: What is your new writing?
M: It's written about a man who considers himself a knight in shining armor. But the problem is, he lives in a world where knights no longer exist.
A: It's like my world.

In this way, McCall himself did not know why, he gave up his promise, gave up his peace, and chose to be Alina's knight and let her be a singer Alina instead of a prostitute Teri.

I don't believe in fairy tales, and I don't believe there is a savior in this world. Unless I have the ability, I can't save anything. When Alina woke up from her hospital bed with a bag of money and a plane ticket out of town, she chose to start over. Without worries, without Slave and without Pushkin, she may never know why she is so lucky in her life, and her destiny will be changed when she wakes up. She'll never even know what McCall did for her behind the "I can be anyone" phrase.

Don't think that everything is God's favor, or someone else pays for you, or delays payment, everything in the world will eventually be rewarded.
