The story line is relatively simple. It tells about a man named Tom, who has a beloved wife, son, and a young daughter. The family can be described as a happy one. The restaurant, business is booming. Yes, by chance, he killed two people who tried to rob the restaurant, became a local hero, appeared on the newspaper and TV, and his life changed.
Because he used to be a killer in Philadelphia, After killing countless people, he became a Buddha in a single thought, went to a foreign land incognito to take a wife and have children, and lived an ordinary life. He became a good husband to his wife, a good father to his children, and a good owner of a restaurant.
However, this exposure, He attracted his enemies. His identity was also exposed in front of his wife and children. His
elder brother, whom he had not seen for many years, also called him and asked him to meet. Unexpectedly, what his elder brother wanted was his life. The elder brother, including all his subordinates, returned home. At this moment, the wife and son had complicated expressions, and the little daughter, who was not familiar with the world, set the table for her father, indicating that they would
have dinner together.
The story came to an end.
Accepting the current him, whether he can escape the fate of being exposed and continue a normal life is always a question mark.
I feel that this story is a question to the bottom line of ethics. Whether the society should be tolerant to the reformed old demons, or blood for blood Of
course, just looking at the history of violence, I still have more sympathy and forgiveness for the male protagonist. But if someone has a whim to expose a prehistoric biography and describe in detail how he used to kill people, maybe I will feel this way again. It's not enough to die a thousand times. And Tom's wife's fear, I believe most people can understand. When you dream back in the middle of the night, you find that the person lying beside you who thinks you know the truth is actually a stranger with a bloody past. , how would you react?
Why is it easier for people to forgive a country than a single person?
For example, Germany in World War II, ethnic cleansing, and now everyone has let go of their previous suspicions. However, it is much harder to forgive a person.
Imagine that Ma Jiajue successfully escaped, went to another country to start a different life, and became a law-abiding citizen. Can we forgive him? Even if he said he would never do it again in his life?
Laws and ethics are sometimes dilemma.
