Pirate genes and middle-class fantasy

Coby 2022-04-21 09:01:21

The arms business is the arms business, and in the capitalist world it is no different from the canning business. Like the predecessors of the pirates 500 years ago, this business gene does not involve ethics.

When Yuri provided his wife Eva with a luxury life, Eva knew in her heart that the money was unreasonable, but she didn't intend to ask, she was comfortable. When Yu Rui's younger brother and Yu Rui wandered in the business field, he also knew that the money was not for the faint of heart, but he didn't delve into it, it was good to be stimulated.

But when pirates have money and want to live a decent middle-class life, hypocritical trimmings can upset them. No matter how you were with the devil, you must now go to church every week to pray and listen to Father Hala. Sleeping pills, galleries, family dinners, watching the misfortune of African children in front of TV while eating popcorn, with occasional exclamations.

Finally, the screenwriter slipped to the theory of retribution, and Yu Rui's wife and son were separated. But thankfully, the writers didn't quite go all the way to Confessions. The ending is the same as the beginning, almost nothing has changed, the pirate is still a pirate, he just had a middle-class dream. The dream destroyed his wife, his brother, his parents, but not the pirates. Wherever there is politics, there are pirates. Wherever there is a desire to demonstrate justice, there is arms business.

As I always say, bad people and good people are generally fine, but bad people who want to be good people and good people who want to be bad people are in trouble.

    I saw it a long time ago and thought it was pretty good. Today I was surprised that on a penguin video app, its ending was changed to have xxx characteristics, which is incredible. So I went to watch the 2 hours and 2 minutes version elsewhere, and then went back to the penguin...hahahahahahaha! (What else can I do but laugh)

    The significance of the existence of this world is that it can bury idealism. Andrew Niccol gave people a hard slap in the real world after teaching people to think and hope in the future.

Lord of War quotes

  • Yuri Orlov: [Narrating] Every faction in Africa calls themselves by these noble names - Liberation this, Patriotic that, Democratic Republic of something-or-other... I guess they can't own up to what they usually are: the Federation of Worse Oppressors Than the Last Bunch of Oppressors. Often, the most barbaric atrocities occur when both combatants proclaim themselves Freedom Fighters.

  • Yuri Orlov: [in an interrogation room] The reason I'll be released is the same reason you think I'll be convicted. I do rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of these men are the enemies of your enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss - the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year - sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil.
