Did weapons make the world have war, or did it have weapons because of war? Did weapons kill people, or did war kill people? Or do people kill people? A weapon is a tool, and only when it is in the hands of people, and only when people use it to kill, can the tool of the weapon itself be brought into play. Whether it is weapons or wars, what is behind it is always the human nature, greed and fear. Yuri, the male protagonist in the play, finds that his best thing is to be a smuggling arms dealer. Is that really the case? In addition to the characteristics of the business itself, it is better to say that the high profits of the arms business made him feel the thrill and excitement in the avoidance and response time and time again. He enjoys this process and maximizes his experience of life and death. interval. He found various reasons for himself to continue doing this business, but the kind of human conscience in his heart made it difficult for him to escape his deep guilt. His younger brother couldn't stand this kind of torture and chose to take drugs to escape, while he himself chose to escape by marrying the lover of his dreams. In the end, as he said, both addictions made them unable to extricate themselves. Can't forget the melancholy eyes of Nicolas Cage who played Yuri, the kind of sadness that seems to penetrate into your bones at once. When he plausibly defended himself countless times, only with those eyes, you can see through the fear and anxiety in his heart. Maybe one person can deceive everyone, the only one who can't is himself.
