Jack the man

Well, Tommy doesn't look visual, but he's a man for sure. Men like the characters in the play can't be used to live, they are born to create stories for people to watch, how can they afford firewood, rice, oil and salt. Soldiers have a special temperament, and they are different when they have been on the battlefield. For example, even if Li Bai recited the poem, "Kill a person in ten steps, and leave nowhere for a hundred miles", he can only think about it that way. A knight is banned as a chivalrous person. Even if Li Taibai becomes a knight, he is still inferior, not to mention it is just a vision. The legalization of killing soldiers on the battlefield (not Chinese or Western, neither ancient nor modern, nondescript...) has a bloody aesthetic. Jack is a practitioner of this kind of aesthetics. After being discharged from the army, he can still find a kind of relief in the prosperity and peace. In the end, he may be the old cowboy. He's not as smart as he is. Depression and loss are indeed the rift of a lifetime.

Jack Reacher: You think I'm a hero? I am not a hero. And if you're smart, that scares you. Because I have nothing to lose.
