Even though Mike is not my child, I still miss him.

There are a thousand "Hamlet" in the eyes of a thousand viewers; in one's life, one will see many "Dream of Red Mansions". Different moods, different ages, different experiences, will have different feelings.
For every movie, there is always someone who likes it. The key is whether it hits the softest part of your heart.
When I reread this film inadvertently again in the year of no confusion, my mood will be so unimaginably different.
Violence and tenderness? Indifference and warmth? Or a man against a system? It's hard to tell, maybe that's the art of cinema.
For the sake of love, I can swallow my voice, or draw a knife to face each other, although thousands of people will go. I feel and am glad that I have been far away from the entanglement between "good people" and "bad people", because life itself does not have a clear definition.
Perhaps, it should have a happy ending, a hearty and hearty one after a happy revenge, and a clear conscience after personal justice is done. However, the cruelty of reality is so chilling.
The greatest warmth in a person's life is love, and the greatest concern is also love.

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.
