Also known as "Money Robber Veteran". Released in 2017, the film is a remake of the 1979 film of the same name directed by Martin Brest. The story is about three good law-abiding citizens, Joe (Michael Caine), Yar (Alan Arkin), and Willie (Morgan Freeman), who form a group together because of their miserable old age. The story of the bank robbery.
This is a black humor film supported by the acting skills of the three veteran actors. The plot is bland, but it reveals ordinary social problems, coupled with the acting skills of the three old actors, it is worth watching. Especially Morgan Freeman, who has been seen in movies such as "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Bucket List", "Seven Deadly Sins", etc. He is lying on the hospital bed in this show, which reminds me of "The Bucket List" Of Carter, there are still some similarities between the two characters.
"It is a culture's duty to take care of its elderly." It is our duty to take care of the elderly.
The movie starts with a bank robbery, as if it were an exercise for the three musketeers to rob a bank. At the same time, it also leads to the theme of the film "respect for the elderly".
If you don't have to worry about life problems, you can chat with friends every day and have afternoon tea, then you can enjoy your old age like this, who would think about robbing a bank? Unfortunately, life is not always easy.
Joe borrowed money from the bank, the interest on the money suddenly tripled, and if the loan was not repaid, the house would be repossessed. Willie is seriously ill and has been wanting to visit his daughter and granddaughter out of town, but he has no money. Yar is just beginning the second spring of his life. The life of the three was not rich, but they were suddenly suspended from pensions. This puts the three people's lives in a difficult situation, and even an afternoon tea has become a luxury enjoyment.
"Banks literally ruined this country, they ruined the dreams of so many people and got themselves unscathed. Three of us old guys, rob a bank, get away with it, and retire honorably. Worst case, we got caught, jailed There's a bed, three meals a day, and better medical care than we have now. You've spent twenty years waiting to die, with no life to speak of, no goals."
Facing the house that was about to be repossessed by the bank in 30 days, Joe was forced to live helplessly. At the same time, he saw the robbery incident at the beginning and the efficiency of the police's way of thinking. Joining it, Yar is angry at the pension that has been hacked for more than 40 years of hard work. So the three, all over 240 years old together, decided to rob a bank.
They went to rob a familiar supermarket first, but they were caught on the spot as amateurs. So they had their first experience, so they hired special people to train them to rob a bank. Exercise, practice guns, make alibi dramas, find the best tools to commit crimes, etc... After a series of training, they robbed the bank as they wished.
In the end, the little girl actually recognized Willy's watch. But maybe it was what Willie said to her during the bank robbery, just to see his family a few more times, so he didn't expose him in the end.
The ending of this drama is a happy one, which is not to say that encouraging others to rob a bank cannot be caught by the police. But in this society, it is not easy for the elderly to work hard for many years, but in the end, even the pension has been hacked. Even little girls and bank robbers know how to respect the elderly, but the rights of the elderly are not given too much in society and the country. big attention. In a legal society, the judicial process takes too long. When they win the lawsuit, maybe they have already entered the coffin. They rob the bank and just want to get back the part of the money that should belong to them, and the extra part goes to charity.
This is the case in countries like the United States, and even more so in China. Are there many people who are "disrespectful for the old" in China, are they also not treated well because of their past life?
Paying attention to the rights and interests of the elderly and other rights may be just talk for now. Because we are young people, we are currently keyboard warriors like me or you who are swiping mobile phones in front of the screen. As long as life is safe and sound, I don't have more energy to focus on issues that I can't get involved in temporarily.
