Sullivan is a strict but loving father to his son Michael, and to the gang boss Rooney Laishui, he is his adopted son as if he were his own son. Yes, no matter how much he loves him, he is just an adopted son. Mike was more of a taciturn cold-blooded killer to most people in the gang, oh, not more, but that. ["Road to Destruction" is a film directed by Sam Mendes, Oscar winner Paul Newman plays gangster John Rooney, Tom Hanks and "007" Daniel Craig play John Rooney respectively Adopted son Michael Sullivan and John Rooney's biological son Conor Rooney, the story tells the story of gangster-ridden Chicago in the 1930s, Connor killed Michael's wife and young son because of a misunderstanding, but John Rooney, the father However, because Connor is his own son, Rooney forced Michael to give up his revenge by various means. The unwilling Michael took his eldest son and embarked on a bloody road of no return...] This introduction is very incisive , basically explained the ins and outs of the movie. Perhaps, it can attract people who read it to watch it. This is enough. However, this description may not be enough for this era when gangsters are rampant. . The film begins with little Michael's narration and flashbacks, his narration takes us back to that time, six weeks ago, he thought his father was just a silent father working for Lord Rooney, and even sometimes he was a little afraid of him, in the One night, as usual, little Michael listened to his mother and went upstairs to tell his father who had just come home to come downstairs for dinner, and I think it was at that time that he, like us, the audience of this movie, saw The gun that my father had just taken off and had no time to put up, I think little Michael must have seen it, because he hesitated.
The curiosity of the young man should have started at this time. Why does an ordinary father carry a gun? A doubt has not been resolved. The Michael family went to attend the funeral of someone in the town. The deceased's brother was full of hatred in his speech. This hatred was so obvious that even little Michael could feel it. The smiling one was always with him. Grandpa Rooney, who gambled on dice, didn't seem to be so kind to others, and before the deceased's brother had finished speaking, he was dragged out by his father and others. Little Michael ran out, and just saw this scene, and the doubts in his heart grew. Come on, why does my father care about such a thing?
The young man always has admiration for his father in his heart. On the contrary, if there is something he doesn't understand, he must understand it. So, one night, he came back early and hid under the back seat of his father's car. Rooney's son went out together. It was a quiet and cold night, and it rained at some point.
At what appeared to be a warehouse, my father and Connor got out of the car, along with a long crate in the back seat of the car. Slowly, the back seat of the car was lifted up, and little Michael quietly and carefully climbed out of it. Maybe, this night, he will be able to know the secret of his father's late return? He carefully looked around the house for a place to peep, and finally found a place. As he was looking inside, there was a dull sound of gunshots. Little Michael happened to witness a murder. Connie used a gun Blast off another person's head, how terrifying, the twelve-year-old child, even if he tried his best to cover his mouth, still exclaimed and wanted to run away, but his legs didn't look like his own. The people in the room heard the voice and quickly chased out, it was Michael Sullivan, his father.
With four dead ends ahead, little Michael had nowhere to escape. He turned around in horror and saw his father's stern face, which was as sharp as a knife and axe. Connor chased after him and understood everything. Sullivan vouched for his son that he would not say what he saw tonight. Connor seemed to believe it, and the two walked back to the car together, shoulder to shoulder.
Is this the end of the matter? Even his mother wouldn't be told that little Michael couldn't imagine his life changed since that night.
On a rainy night, when Sullivan was out, the suspicious Connor quietly went to his house and wanted to kill little Michael. Young Michael's brother and mother were shot. Contradictions - unresolved: one is an adopted son, the other is his biological son. Old Rooney reluctantly asked Sullivan to let Connor go, but the one who was killed was also Sullivan's biological son. He was also a father, wasn't he? Sullivan wanted Rooney to give up his own son and forced him by various means, but Rooney was deeply in love with the calf, but he kept persuading Sullivan to give up the killing. In the end, Sullivan had no choice but to kill his father to make Rooney's partners give up the fight. Connor's protection, thus completing the mission of revenge. This is the only way things can go. Either you die or I live. As a killer, Sullivan knows better than anyone that the only way out to save little Michael's life is to kill Connor and old Rooney. That's the one who raised him. Life may be so helpless, you need to keep making choices, whether to be destroyed or to destroy others.
During this period, I will not go into details. Sullivan took little Michael all the way to escape, and he also designed a trap all the way to attract Connor to appear. They understood each other that only killing each other could end this game of you chasing me and fleeing. And Connor was not so easy to be killed under the protection of everyone, and even nearly killed Sullivan once.
Michael took Sullivan to a remote farm to recuperate. The kind and simple old farm couple took them in and helped Sullivan heal. The father, son and son quietly left one morning, leaving the old couple behind. big money.
Any game of chasing will have an end. At the very end, Connor designed to kill Sullivan because of little Michael's hesitation. Although he has been fleeing with his father and learning to shoot, he really wants to shoot and kill a person. , that is different after all. The dying Sullivan used the last bit of strength, or a father's will, to kill Connor and finally save little Michael's life.
All of this, killing, fleeing, incognito, but only six weeks have passed. Little Michael returned to the remote farm, and the kind old couple took him in, and the road of bloody destruction finally came to an end. After many years, the grown-up little Michael finally understood his father's deep fear that Michael would become a killer just like him.
So he used his life to pave a road of destruction to destroy himself and others. All he did was to make little Michael's peaceful life.
