I wish you a bright future and the stars are shining...

"I wish you the best of luck and the stars are shining..." This line is probably one of the most moving moments in the film, and it appears twice in the film, once when George runs away on bail, before he tells his father After finishing this sentence, he was arrested because of his mother's report. The second time was before his father died. George recorded this sentence to his father in prison.
This is a biopic, and the protagonist, George Young, is not a fictional character. He was a cocaine supplier that once dominated 85 percent of the U.S. drug market. He served a total of three prison sentences, and George Jung spent twenty years in prison. He was released from prison a few days ago and is preparing to publish his new book, which will bring an end to the real-life version of the drug lord story. After watching the movie, I was surprised that I didn't have any disgust for this big drug lord. When describing the ups and downs of George's life from a small person to a big drug lord, the film also focused on the character and destiny of this character. , reinforces his human side.
Johnny Depp once went to prison for a long talk with him in order to play this role well, and the final conclusion was that George Jung was a good man. This may explain why we did not notice any disgust for George Jung after watching the film. Once the things of humanity are slowly unearthed, once the family of George Jung is born, the pain of love gradually surfaced, when the old father said the last words before his son was arrested, "I wish you a bright future and a bright future. Brilliant...", when he watched his beloved girlfriend pass away, when he was betrayed by a friend and had to break the promise of the jewel in the palm of his hand, when in the twilight, he fantasized about his grown-up daughter coming to visit the supervisor and walking hand in hand on the green grass. . . We ordinary people, thinking about our parents, children and families, can't help but see a little bit of ourselves.
People, maybe it is always like this, on the one hand, they are fragile, looking for the family and love in their dreams; on the other hand, they are strong in their career to find their own existence. Some people succeed at both, most people succeed at least one, and the rest get nothing. George Jung does not belong to any of these three. He once had a beautiful love, once had a lovely wife and daughter, once created the myth of drug trafficking, he once got everything. . . In the end, it was lost. The saddest thing in life is this. . .
According to the film, George Jung was imprisoned three times in total, and the reason for these three times may be the best explanation of his fate: the
first time he was imprisoned: being reported by his mother. This is the beginning of family love.
Second time in jail: reported by his wife. This is the beginning of love.
Third time in jail: Betrayal by a friend. This is the beginning of friendship.
Time and time again, life played ghostly jokes on him. Give him what he wants, and let the people he cares about take away from him one by one what he gets. Simply, there is no room for it. Only the old father has always supported him and believed in him, but he had no chance to repay.

  • George: [recording a message on a tape recorder] Hello Dad. You know I remember a lifetime ago, when I was about 3 1/2 feet tall, weighing all of 60 pounds, but every inch your son. I remember those Saturday mornings going to work with my dad, we'd climb into that big green truck. I thought that truck... was the biggest truck in the universe pop. I remember how important the job we did was, how if it wasn't for us, people would freeze to death. I thought you were the strongest man in the world. And remember those home videos when mom would dress up like Loretta Young, barbeques and football games, ice cream, playing with the Tuna. And when I left for California only to come home with the FBI chasing me, and that FBI agent Trout had to kneel down to put my boots on and you said, "That's where you belong you son of a bitch, puttin on Georgie's boots." That was a good one Dad. That was really something. You remember that? And remember that time when you told me that money wasn't real. Well old man, I'm 42 years old, and I finally realize what you were trying to tell me, so many years ago. I finally understand. Your the best, pop, just wish I could have done more for you, wish we had more time. Anyway, may the wind always be at your back, and the sun always upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars. I love you Dad. Love George.
