Simple, straightforward truth: do the right thing

The classic Brazilian crime movie is "Sin City", and the impression it gave me can be described as "the soul in bed". So when I watched Trash, although I was still shocked by Brazil's decadent government, legal system, and the lives of the poor people at the bottom, the level was far less than the aforementioned film.

So just as most moviegoers commented, this is a crime and adventure movie with full commercial taste. The plot is not ups and downs, and the narrative is not wonderful, but it impressed me deeply because the protagonists are three boys. A sentence.

Why are we doing this? Because this is doing the right thing.
I was shocked instantly. The three boys are willing to risk their lives for the right thing. I was thinking that this kind of truth might not be accepted by the audience when used in adult roles, but it will be smoothly formed by expressing it through innocent children, and it will be easier to be accepted by others. But this still cannot conceal a truth that is really but ignored by us: people do the right thing.

Do the right thing? We must be asking and the so-called right and the so-called wrong? Perhaps when we are evaluating the right and wrong of a thing, we will subconsciously use our own experience to measure it, and let the flow take its course to abandon the essential content of the thing. This is the obvious difference between adults and children. It is precisely because of the adult's experience and life experience that they are fascinated when they should directly judge right and wrong.

One of my bosses' work left me the most profound sentence: we must know whether what we are doing is correct, and we must do more of the right things.

Trash quotes

  • Carlos' partner: Dear Sir, I haven't written in a long time, but I think of you always. I have something important to tell you, in the words you once spoke to me: Soon, the devil who put you behind bars will be chained, his corruption and lies all exposed. Your struggle was not in vain. I promise. Santos will be finished and, God willing, he is only the first domino to fall. Your fight against the corruption that destroyed our dream for justice goes on. Even now people flood the streets, fanning the flames of hope that you helped ignite. Change is coming. But with joy comes sorrow. If you are reading this, it means I've been taken. And they will not be merciful. But the dream you passed to me is passed to new generations. I'm sorry for being a burden - you have suffered so much already. This letter has the secret - it seals our enemy's fate. Do what must be done. I pray for you, and for my daughter Pia, and for all who fight for our people.
