Bad Santa-how cruel life is

This is not a good-looking film, although it has a fairly bright tail. The reason why I finished watching it is because I have been reminding myself of two things during the first 80 minutes of the film:
1. Life is cruel. I am lucky not to face such a cruel reality, so at least I can bear with this movie.
2. Maybe I can look forward to a better ending. Just like the awesome writer in Adaptation (Orchid Thief) said, it doesn't matter how boring and dull the previous story is. A good ending is enough to save a script and a movie.

How cruel life is. Some people’s lives are mostly full of sunshine and flowers, full of fairy tales that are as warm as Santa Claus driving a reindeer to bring gifts; while others can only get drunk and buy drunk, using Santa Claus as a cover to rob shopping malls every year. In the end, I lost interest in looting the mall. There is no hope in life, and I am a complete loser. Watching the film, I can't help but feel depressed why this person doesn't even have basic moral integrity, why even a child with low intelligence, and a child who believes in him so much, can deceive without hesitation. Just looking back, life is like this. There is sunlight and there is darkness. I don't know what external factors and internal factors have caused such a situation; however, his life trajectory is already like this. Most of us, normal and ordinary people, may be in the hopes and dreams of doing things like this and becoming people of this kind, and slowly really become this kind of thing; or more , Slowly in the passage of time, unwilling to find that after all, I can only be like this or that. But good or bad, there is always an ordinary or mediocre life. Others, very extreme, may have been deprived of expectations by the environment since they were sensible after birth, maybe just like Willie in the film, they met a father of a so-called lunatic, and became such a bad santa. , Became one of a group of people living in bitterness and despair outside the mainstream of society.

Fortunately, there is still a good ending. Let me not be too depressed. A child with low intelligence has made this half-old man who has been ruthless, shameless and fearless for most of his life changed the foundation; it also directly led to the capture of this Santa criminal gang that has been for many years. Therefore, transformation can always happen. If it’s a person who has a strong belief like "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. and no good things ever dies" like Andy, he can make a change by himself; and like Willie, he has already lost hope. Self-rejection can also deceive God to occasionally open his eyes and use the hands of the little fat man to change his life in a better direction. As long as, as long as there are occasional remnants of kind thoughts moving, there is still hope in life.

    Good and bad, good and evil. Life itself is a boring thing, you just need to find something to kill the boredom (whispering, nothing to do with the movie.)

    1. There are a lot of bad things done in the name of Santa Claus. 2. A child who lacks love will do stupid things from time to time. 3. I remembered that the bedroom door was broken in 2009. Every night, I hid in the library and stayed up late reading books. At 9:30 during the day, I would sneak out when people came one after another.
