In fact, there are some parts of the movie that I didn't really understand. Feel free to share some thoughts.
Carlos is different from Raymond. Although they both steal, they have different ways and even purposes. He steals things for pleasure and pursuit of excitement. He has a strong ability and can come and go freely. He prefers to enjoy the process of stealing rather than money.
Raymond is a family of thieves, and his family lives purely by stealing. So they are different. As for why they cooperate, of course, it is mutual benefit. Raymond uses his abilities to get more ill-gotten gains. Carlos is in pursuit of excitement, or maybe he just likes to be with Raymond.
Another place where there may be doubts is that Carlos killed himself by crashing a car while Raymond was asleep. (It feels like Carlos really likes killing people while others are asleep) In the end, Carlos didn't die, but Raymond died. I thought for a while why would he do that?
There are two answers, the first is that he wants to kill Raymond. The second is that he wants to die together. I prefer the latter, maybe he wanted to die with Raymond, but he didn't die, Raymond died.
Finally, he opened the red safe, the one that Raymond refused to help open before. But it turned out to be empty, in conjunction with the news about the depilated monkey in the newspaper. Clips like this seem to tell people that everything is ridiculous. I think this is an interesting setup.
Whether stealing his life or everything around him might seem absurd to Carlitos, he's already heartbroken.
Finally, it's about the ending. I think he deliberately told his mother where he was hiding, after all he was so smart and he felt strange, maybe he wanted to be caught, or maybe he wanted to die, but in fact his heart has long been died.
There is also a scene in the film that I like very much, which is the scene of Carlos sitting alone in the car and crying.
I don't think he's crying because of remorse or his remorse for everything he's done.
But maybe he just felt a little lonely, because there was no one around him, especially without Raymond.
