The two brothers in the snow had a fierce snowball fight.

The murder scene seen from the gap.

Escape on the endless highway.

In the rain of the night, the flames of machine guns, drowned in the sound of rain, Tom Hanks came for revenge. The big gangsters in black trench coats fell one after another, only his adoptive father turned his head slowly, the rain stayed down his hat, and no one held an umbrella for him. "I'm honored to be you," he said. Tom Hanks' complex expression did not show any joy of revenge. After a few shots, only the back on the movie poster remained.

As if in a no-man's land, he walked all the way to the hotel where his adoptive father's son, his former brother Conner was, went straight to the bathroom, pulled the trigger, and turned to leave. The slowly turning glass door of the bathroom reflected Conner's terrified expression and the bright red blood on the wall.

Auntie's house is a small house facing the sea and leaning against the woods. The furniture is simple, the white tablecloth, the high table and the low bench are all made of wood.

In front of the window reflecting the sea, Tom Hanks stood there and vaguely saw Mike waving to him by the sea. In an instant, his relaxed and contented expression was broken by the gunshot, the soup fell, and Mike in the reflection hurried to the hut.

On the road along the prairie, I saw a car stopped in the distance, and a child walked out. It was Mike, who lost his father and returned to the couple who saved them.

"A father's greatest fear is for his son to follow in his footsteps."

"There are so many mistakes we know we make over and over again."

Road to Perdition quotes

  • Maguire: Smile.

  • [last lines]

    Michael Sullivan, Jr.: I saw then that my father's only fear was that his son would follow the same road. And that was the last time I ever held a gun. People always thought I grew up on a farm. And I guess, in a way, I did. But I lived a lifetime before that, in those six weeks on the road in the winter of 1931. When people ask me if Michael Sullivan was a good man, or if there was just no good in him at all, I always give the same answer. I just tell them... he was my father.
