The gangster killer Irish Frank made a confession to a priest in his later years, telling his gangster and trade union career. Unlike Mike Corleone's tragic, infectious ending, Frank's life is hard to define in terms of tragedy or success. He personally killed Hoffa, the friend who trusted him the most, lost the trust of all his daughters, and was even despised by one of his daughters, Peggy (this daughter will be emphasized later); but his achievements, his mentality, His extremely cold character (it should be a T) made him not end in tragedy.
Let's talk some details. What impresses me most in the whole work is the relationship between the Irishman Frank and Jimmy Hoffa, and this relationship uses Peggy as a link. The footage of the film has been given to Peggy for many times, and people can really remember the little girl who saw through her father after watching it. Peggy is a sensitive and introverted person. From the moment she witnessed her father take revenge on the store clerk who just pushed her as a child, she understood that her father was a cruel character. Another point of Peggy's insight can be reflected: her indifference and estrangement towards Frank's life mentor and gang leader Russell, and her closeness and love to Jimmy Hoffa. Full of idealism, paranoia for workers' rights, union president. Peggy's relationship with her father Frank was less strained by Hoffa's presence, and finally broken down completely by Hoffa's disappearance. (Obviously Peggy saw that it was her father who killed Hoffa) Hoffa showed trust in Frank from the beginning: let Frank sleep in his house without closing the door. The most precious thing in his life is time, and he also gave Frank the gold watch as a gift, which is enough to prove his trust and value to this friend. Hoffa is full of emotions, full of personality, spiritual cleanliness, extreme, idealistic, and dares to turn tables with gangsters for the union; however, Frank is calm, ruthless, and always puts his career first. Hoffain refused to bow his head to the gangster even though he died. Frank had to kill the friend who trusted him the most because of his identity and gangster position. This was the doomed tragedy of these two characters.
