To be a good man

"Hummingbird", or translated into redemption? Before watching this movie, until I saw it, I still thought it was an action movie. The category of literary films may be somewhat vaguely defined. Apart from Jason in Two Smoking Guns, I can never imagine that there will be a second Jason who is artistic. The problem is it's pretty good. Even Jason Statham himself said that no one will watch my literary films.
Deserter, wanted criminal, homeless, killer, good guy? This is a story that happened in summer. Under the director's chaotic camera, Jason went from a homeless man to a corner where he was chased by gangsters, but he fell into the house of a local tyrant, and this local tyrant was not at home all summer. So Jason put on a suit and drove the Mercedes-Benz. The homeless becomes home, but it all ends on October 1st, when the real owner of the mansion will return. So, just like a promise, this summer, something is destined to change.
Jason, who has a home, first recovered his body, and then found a job. He was appreciated by the big brother of the Chinese underworld and became a thug. However, the conscience hidden in the body has never disappeared. 5 comrades were killed, so the enemy had to pay blood for blood, and 5 died. Wife and daughter, is the responsibility, so in the end Jason left all the money to them. The tramp was a former partner, so when all the tramps ate pizza, Jason became an angel too, albeit a crazy one.
The narrative method without a charter still pushes the time to October 1st. The night before, we finally learned about the nun's past. Christina, who was abused by her coach from the age of ten until the eighteenth, ended it with a knife and was sent to a convent. A nun who questioned the existence of God, and a gangster thug with a conscience deep in his soul finally had physical contact. On the morning of October 1, the park. Jason asked Christina to take some pictures for him to send to his daughter. When the meticulously dressed Jason said the phrase "I'D LOOK A GOOD MAN.", who can say that he is not a good person. Christina invited Jason to a ballet show with him at night, a ticket she bought with the 500 pounds Jason gave him. Ruthless fate fixed all nodes on the night of October 1st. The murderer who killed his partner who lives in a trash can will also appear on the night of October 1st. Jason pushed the killer down the building while Kristina stared in front of the theater. Jason was lying on the side of the road outside the theater while Christina watched the show. It was as if everything was over.
Of course, it all starts after it ends. On a sunny day, the nun left and went to Africa to start a new life. And Jason, trying to be a good person.
When the nuns began to question the existence of God, who gave us the boundaries between the good and the bad? Is it good or evil to kill one person and live another person? Kill one and live a hundred? I'D LOOK A GOOD MAN Disorganized narrative, redemptive lines. No longer the dark humor of British cinema, just the use of countless montage shots. The switching of shots, the background of gray style, the heavy topic. Not to be or not to be, but to be a good man.
