When it comes to beasts, many people may be the first to think of majestic beasts, such as majestic lions, ferocious tigers, and well-built cheetahs.
But when it comes to old beasts, many people think of old and dying beasts, when they have faded the cloak of bravery and untamed in their prime, they are either scarred or dying.
This is true of animals, and so is man.
What Pigo wants to talk about today is a film about the "old beast", the name is "the old beast".
The main actor is the old drama tu of the "Khan professional household", with this movie, tu beat Huang Bo and won a Taiwan award for best actor.
At the beginning of the movie, an old man is locked at home by his children to let him take care of his wife who is sick in bed, the old man is angry, smashes the door lock with a hammer, throws his wife at home, and goes out to spend his days and drinks.
Playing mahjong with people, he owes others a bunch of debts, but he has to hold up his face and say that others owe him money.
In fact, Cary is not even 100 pieces.
Leaving the paralyzed wife at home, but drinking and talking with others outside, the boss's shelf is fully arranged.
As a result, the wife fell out of bed unconscious because she was unattended.
Later, I took my friend to the massage parlor for a massage, and I dressed up five people and six people in front of the boss and friends.
As a result, because there is no money to bet on the electric car, and the mouth is hard because the store cannot swipe the card.
At the same time, his wife was taken to the hospital, and the children were anxious one by one, and he was so happy outside that he couldn't even get through the phone.
The old man's hun was more than that, and his friend entrusted him to take care of the camels for a few days, and he swore that he would be optimistic.
As a result, they turned around and sold their camels.
After that, he squandered the money from the sale of camels, exchanged the mortgaged electric car back, and bought something for the little lover who was wrapped up.
There is no shame in hanging out with women younger than his own daughter.
Yet something more outrageous is yet to come.
The children had a hard time gathering the thirty thousand yuan for the operation of his wife, and put the money under the pillow of his wife, at this time the friend asked him to return to the camel, he took the money for the operation of the wife, and went to buy a cow to return to the friend.
The children really couldn't do anything about such a father, so they discussed tying him up so that he could no longer go out to eat, drink and gamble.
The old man swallowed this breath and immediately called the police and asked the police to arrest them all.
The police said it was a family dispute and that it was best for them to deal with it internally, and he took all his sons and daughters to court under the guise of abuse and intentional injury.
In court, in the face of his son's accusation that he was not worthy of being a father, he did not feel ashamed at all, but instead angrily replied that he did not have himself, they were nothing.
They also firmly disagree with mediation and must lock them all up.
Later, the daughter-in-law came to him with her grandson, returned the toys he bought for her grandson, and did not forget to throw down the next sentence before leaving, "Even people like you deserve to be a grandfather."
I don't know if this sentence touched him, he went to the court to apply for the withdrawal of the indictment, but was told that it could not be revoked.
After that, he came to his younger daughter's house and wanted her to give him 6500 yuan for emergency, but he refused to tell him what to do, and the younger daughter resolutely refused.
Later, he asked his nephew, who was a lawyer, to fish out his son, who wanted the family to give him even a greeting when they left.
He returned home lonely, looked at the wife who had accompanied him for most of his life, and finally realized that there was no point in living such a life, and it was better to add less burden to the children.
So he gave his wife sleeping pills and swallowed them himself.
At the end of the film, he lies on the couch and finally closes his eyes a little bit, ending his life.
After watching the whole movie, is the image of the old man a good person? Not easy to say. He eats, drinks, gambles, loves vanity, ignores his wife, and even squanders his life-saving money, which is simply more hateful than Su Daqiang.
But can you say he's a bad guy? It's not easy to say.
He loved his grandson, knew how to repay the newspaper, once found a job for his son-in-law to help his daughter buy a house, and the money he asked for from his younger daughter was also to cover his wife's surgery fees, to the point of losing his conscience.
The title of the film is Old Beast, and The Old Beast is undoubtedly the protagonist of the movie, so what caused the final ending of this "beast"?
From the plot, it is known that the protagonist was once a rich man who lived a good life, but encountered a bubble economy and changed from a big boss to a poor egg overnight.
But he was always unwilling to get out of the prosperity of the past, and used one clumsy lie and absurd behavior to comfort himself, self-numb, maintain that little bit of pitiful dignity, and finally let his children down.
He is an old beast, but also a trapped beast.
What was once a strategist and unlimited scenery has become now difficult to walk and be disliked, leaving him trapped in the shackles of money and desire and unable to get out, step by step to the later situation.
But who can say that the desire for money only trapped him as a "beast"?
The daughter-in-law who divorced her son because of the operation fee, the second son-in-law who may affect the promotion because of the absurdity of the father-in-law, the third son-in-law who was angry because the father-in-law came to the door to ask for money... Aren't they also "beasts" trapped in life?
Money and desire have caused a rift in the family, even the old beast that once controlled everything can not make up, and finally he finally sees everything and chooses to maintain his last dignity in a decisive way, not dragging anyone down.
The film is very sad, and I hope that you and I will not become such old beasts in the end.
