For most of the time before the film, I just treated it as a question of whether it could be delivered, but it turned out that what the director wanted to convey was a question of whether it could be changed.
In the end, we knew that Eddie's testimony was no longer the key. A policeman changed him, and he also changed a policeman.
In fact, Jack had already changed when he discovered the person who could change the status quo. It's just not only to change the status quo, but also to face reality. He walked N blocks to face it, through Eddie's repeated chanting (it turns out that he did more than just defend himself), and through a confrontation with Frank, he faced it. Eddie doesn't need to be a witness, because Jack is enough without Jerry.
Why is Jack that changed? Because he will change, I think so. Maybe he needs an opportunity, maybe he needs a period of time, but he is the one who has that potential seed.
Why don’t others change? I can't answer. Instead, I found that, indeed, everyone can change. When you peel yourself a little bit to expose your most vulnerable nerves, your breath changes.
The more vulnerable people are easier to change? Uh...I was stumped by myself. Maybe after every fragility, we will be stronger. After every success, we will be more calm. What's wrong with fragility? The world is not strong. Facing fragility is also facing yourself, and when you face it, you are you; avoiding him, you are lost, that is avoiding yourself.
