Would you sympathize with someone like him off-screen?

Looking at it all the way, I can see that almost everyone except the male protagonist is stupid, retired policeman, stupid female policeman, stupid shop owner, madman, restaurant manager, waiter, and ex-wife. I think it is these indifferent people who make the poor man go. On the road of no return and hope that the male protagonist will start a happy life with his daughter in his arms. In the end, he retired from the policeman's solo, what he said. It really hurts to stand and talk without back pain! Silly! White lotus!

Then I suddenly remembered that my boyfriend said that his ex-girlfriend was not a bad person, but she was mentally abnormal and couldn't be alone, so after they broke up, she immediately returned to her ex-boyfriend and kept harassing her boyfriend because she was abandoned by her parents when she was a child. I despise these mental illnesses now! It was clear that she was using this to gain sympathy and needed financial support from men! How can slut say so confidently! Obviously no shame! I said that when I was a child, my parents often quarreled and the family was very discordant, and I was not crazy. There are so many people who have had worse experiences, and all of them are as crazy as her, right?

I realized that I was seriously double-standard. I don't know if the movie is too good for me to be too involved in the drama or in real life I am too dark to think about it, and what is the sympathy for the poor characters in the movie when it involves my own interests?

    This is the problem caused by social pressure. People are oppressed again and again. They were originally slaves. They used to be slaves of pain. Now they are slaves of money. Yes, everyone is digging for gold to satisfy themselves, and it will inevitably harm others. Otherwise, why would there be many rich people? Charity is a cover, just like burning incense with uneasy conscience.

    Three-and-a-half stars, jumping over the wall, normal people's self-venting on the dark side of society. The film is not like Joe Schumacher's style, and the role is not like the role that Michael Douglas is good at. The film is cult, and the protagonist lacks a process similar to "Straw Dog". Outbursts that seem reasonable and irrational.
