the life of a person, this person refers specifically to Lao Mo in the film.
1. About family affection
Lao Mo has a beautiful younger sister, Debra, and he is a simple fat man. When he was a child, Lao Mo was diligent and a little happy in his own restaurant, while his younger sister walked gracefully in a foxtrot in the warehouse, and the gramophone turned leisurely. Lao Mo opened the door and asked his sister to help. She raised her arrogant head in disdain, because her dream was to become a Hollywood star, not to be entangled in trivialities, so Lao Mo had no choice but to close the door heavily.
Years later, Noodle asked Lao Mo about his sister's condition, and Lao Mo said she was already a star. Noodles was quite emotional, saying that how a person will grow up will have clues when he is a child. When they were young, Fatty Mo and Debra unknowingly went on different paths. The longer the time passed, the farther they were apart, and this distance was even more tragic because the hearts of each other could not be truly comforted.
When Guang Guang picked up the paintbrush and painted white on Lao Mo's temples, yesterday, yesterday, was faintly ringing in his ears. Lao Mo said to the noodles, my sister and I have not been in touch for many years. At this time, Debra was already Hollywood's "Cleopatra", and Mo lived a simple life quietly. Why didn't Lao Mo get in touch with Debra? Just imagine, if Lao Mo keeps in frequent contact with his sister, will the person who finally discovers Max's conspiracy not be Noodles but Lao Mo? How should the film continue?
In that year, the "three brothers" died and Noodles left. After Lao Mo was beaten and covered with bruises, he realized that the glory, wealth, and loyalty of friends were only fleeting in the bloody rain. The past was unbearable. Bra seldom calls me brother.
2. About friendship
"I also have a story, many years ago, I had a friend, a very close friend, I called the police to save him, and he was killed. It was a very great friendship between us... I hope for you The investigation can finally prove your innocence, otherwise your life is wasted." Even with the betrayal, Noodle still indulges in that sincere friendship, that year I bravely stabbed a knife into the bed bug's body, that year we and the car We went swimming in the sea together, and we swapped Sheriff Aiello's boy for a girl that year. Max's final redemption can only be done by noodles, and the sincere feelings that once fought together are the firmest fulcrum of a smile on life.
When everyone made the first big money, Max agreed that we would hand over the key to Fatty Mo for safekeeping without telling him the specific situation. This sense of alienation has been there since the beginning, just like one person can smile politely at another person, talk about how nice the weather is today, maintain a harmonious relationship, but don’t want to endure the strong ferry in the other person’s heart.
There are few subordinates around the "Four Horsemen", and the movie looks clean. Even Fatty Mo was not allowed to intervene too much. He could only be in front of the manager in the bar opened by Max, with a ruddy face and a visibly contented smile. Lao Mo tells his sister that Noodles is out of jail, play romantic music around Debra and Noodles, tell Noodles but I put my everything on you.
And Noodle only likes Mike, the "mom", because of their great friendship, everything else is so small. Lao Mo opened the door and saw Noodles standing outside the door, he smiled, so happy and nostalgic, he opened his arms and Noodles held up a key indifferently. Lao Mo looked slightly excited and a little desolate, and the reunion decades later became stiff.
Mo said, what have you been doing all these years? Noodles said, go to bed very early. Noodles came to ask about the origin of the letter, and I didn’t have too many words with Lao Mo, everything was simple, maybe the memories of my youth were still warm, but Noodles was deeply indulged in the guilt of the three brothers, and other feelings changed. Second, including the friendship with Lao Mo, perhaps he has never had an equal sympathy with Lao Mo.
3. About love
After Noodle raped Debra in the car, he finally recovered the inferiority complex in front of her for many years and regained his self-esteem, and finally lost her completely. They have a sincere love, which is touching; Love is too mundane. A gangster film is enough to describe a real relationship, otherwise it will bore the audience and weaken the heaviness and tendency of the gangster film.
The "four knights" all have spiritual or physical love, while Lao Mo is pure and lonely. This is not only the need for the plot of the film, but also an obstacle between Lao Mo and them. The old Lao Mo is still alone, walking in the bar, holding the wine that is no longer taboo, because the trivial and ordinary love of Lao Mo does not need to be narrated, so the love is barren, so the love of Lao Mo is written. Unsustainable.
A person's life will be drunk and laughing with you for 30,000 times because of the common and profound years. He will always smile as open-minded as he does not complain about separation. Helpless and frightened, the fulcrum of students has been looking for and has been lost.
Lao Mo's fulcrum is enough to smile, but it is easy to lose something when smiling.
