considerate male protagonist

When Leon appeared, the male protagonist's past and present life explained clearly. The two conversations are full of mixed feelings, and the emotional relationship of the male protagonist is vividly shown in the director's few strokes.

The male protagonist is a responsible person. He pays the rent for his parents, raises a stupid wife, and also a man who marries him 'for his own good'. However, his income is limited, how can the male protagonist bear these? Life is really Oops, if you have money, you can solve these problems. The male lead thinks so. It is not the case.

The wife with whom she has children, is an idiot. A beloved lover does not love himself. leon is the only one who understands his pain, but is stingy in giving comfort. He didn't buy into what he paid for him. Of course, if he gave him money, he would still accept it.

The mother is a person who talks to herself, and the father is the person who pushes the wrong on others. Perhaps because he doesn't want to resemble his father, the male protagonist attributes all his misfortune to himself, even if it's not his fault sometimes. This is the male protagonist's thoughtfulness. He treats others well, but he dares not ask others to treat him well.

This kind of loss that has nowhere to put in life is probably not because of money.

In the end, the male protagonist instinctively said "don't shoot me". Everything has been settled. He failed his partner. Looking at his partner's body, he felt guilty. Does the male protagonist empathize with the people around him because he also has that side of the people around him?

The film shows a lot of content, and the story is not interesting, but it is very successful in shaping the male protagonist.
