A community where an American veteran lives is an Asian-Hmong community. He owns a classic car and was targeted by several gangsters in the community. They forced a teenager to steal the car, but it failed. As a result, the old man also got to know the young man and his cheerful and sunny sister. Before that, the old man and the young man seemed to be somewhat autistic, but as the communication gradually increased, the relationship between the two became closer and closer. To some extent, everyone has the desire to express and share themselves, but not everyone has such an opportunity. The so-called fate, there is a rare tacit understanding between the old and the young. The old teaches many things to the young, and leads him Going to get a job...but a few punks don't let go of the teen who screwed up their good things. He also harassed and caused trouble several times. After being warned and lectured by the tall old man, he not only did not stop, but also shot the teenager’s home with machine guns from a distance. What’s more exaggerated is that the gang rape and humiliated the teenager’s sister. The old man was angry, but he also knew that it would be useless to warn the unreasonable young people with a gun, so after confessing to the priest in the community, the old man made a decision. One night, he went to look for the gangsters, and he still frightened them by gesturing a pistol with his hand, but this time, the young men had already pointed a gun at the old man at the door of the house, just as the old man stretched out his hand. When the inner pocket of the jacket was about to be pulled out, the five young men pulled the trigger without hesitation, and dozens of pellets even shot through the old man's body. The right hand in the pocket was not holding a gun at all. He planned to die, he deliberately let the gang shoot, and he was ready to sacrifice for peace. And when the young man drove the old car left by the old man on the coastal road in the breeze, this situation probably confirmed the sentence the priest said at the funeral: What is death? It is both the end and the beginning.
After watching this film, I searched for news on the Internet and learned that this may be the last screen image of Eastwood, which shows how worried the old man is about his offspring. In the film, he tried to use his life to solve the problem of human and The conflict between people, and in fact he used this film to educate all the people who watched the film, yes, this is a very educational film, but thinking about it carefully, at the same time director Eastwood did not expect himself He is omniscient and omnipotent, and he is also trying his best to weaken the color of preaching. For example, the old man lost his wife at the beginning of the film, and his son's family was sorting out his feelings with him. He only cared about a little of his property, and soon he found out that he had a terminal illness, etc. All of these must be the real reasons for his final determination to die. A person who is willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for redemption and understanding is great, but no one is not immune to the temptation and entanglement of life, and life brings a steady stream of misunderstandings and conflicts. This is probably the contradiction of people. In any case, this is the least "watchable" and the best "best" of the few films I've watched recently.
Also, the ending song is great.
