Pirate genes and middle-class fantasy

Coby 2022-04-21 09:01:21

The arms business is the arms business, and in the capitalist world it is no different from the canning business. Like the predecessors of the pirates 500 years ago, this business gene does not involve ethics.

When Yuri provided his wife Eva with a luxury life, Eva knew in her heart that the money was unreasonable, but she didn't intend to ask, she was comfortable. When Yu Rui's younger brother and Yu Rui wandered in the business field, he also knew that the money was not for the faint of heart, but he didn't delve into it, it was good to be stimulated.

But when pirates have money and want to live a decent middle-class life, hypocritical trimmings can upset them. No matter how you were with the devil, you must now go to church every week to pray and listen to Father Hala. Sleeping pills, galleries, family dinners, watching the misfortune of African children in front of TV while eating popcorn, with occasional exclamations.

Finally, the screenwriter slipped to the theory of retribution, and Yu Rui's wife and son were separated. But thankfully, the writers didn't quite go all the way to Confessions. The ending is the same as the beginning, almost nothing has changed, the pirate is still a pirate, he just had a middle-class dream. The dream destroyed his wife, his brother, his parents, but not the pirates. Wherever there is politics, there are pirates. Wherever there is a desire to demonstrate justice, there is arms business.

As I always say, bad people and good people are generally fine, but bad people who want to be good people and good people who want to be bad people are in trouble.

    The beginning and the end of the film: shining golden bullets like gold: Africa's mountains, treasures, superior natural minerals and resources.. But so barbaric, evil, poverty and ignorance, disease and death.. What a pity
