The movie I watched this week was Kill The Irishman.
The film tells the story of an Irish immigrant in the United States in the 1970s, danny, who goes from dockworker to gang leader step by step.
At the beginning of the story, Danny was just a worker at the Cleveland Docks, but he knew a lot, cared for people, had a sense of justice, and quickly gained the support of the workers at the bottom. Immediately afterwards, he violently seized the throne of the workers' chairman and quickly made his fortune by selling goods from the docks. But the good times did not last long, and it was not long before he was arrested by the police. After his release from prison, he worked with local gangsters to monopolize the garbage-buying industry. Benefits are always unfairly distributed, and the fight within the gang becomes fierce, and Danny gets involved. The various forces hired people to assassinate Danny, but he always escaped the disaster, and was known as the Irishman who could not be killed. Of course, often walking by the river where there are not wet shoes, Danny finally died in a car explosion. His murder attracted widespread attention in society, and the gang leaders who only covered the sky with their hands fell one after another, ending the era of stormy meetings.
Danny went from being a small person, first becoming the president of the trade union, then becoming a gang leader, escaping from many assassinations, and ending an era after his death, and is a well-deserved legend. Most of us will eventually spend our lives doing nothing, and we only have to watch and admire the legend, if we have to dream of becoming a legend, we can understand a few points from the film. Purely from the perspective of Danny's life, he has become a legend with both the opportunities of the times and the characteristics of his personality.
1. Love to read.
Somehow legends mostly love to read. From a foreign perspective, there is Caesar who wrote "The Battle of Gaul" in the distance, and churchill, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature, nearby. From the perspective of China, there are countless stories, and the stories of hanging books on the horns of cattle, reflecting snow in Cheng Men, and chiseling walls to borrow light fill every history book. The protagonist of this movie, Danny, is no exception, when he appears in the movie, he is reading books, through reading books to gain knowledge, harvest the dependence of friends, so that every step of his life is firm and clear.
2, there are helpers.
In the movie, Danny always looks like Yu Yu alone, as if he is a person fighting the world, but in fact, he has the support of a group of people. He was an Irish immigrant, which was a fairly large group of immigrants in the United States, and naturally gathered a group of "hometown associations". He was most loyal to him, three of his men, a friend, who helped him solve his troubles, and who brought him to the throne, and played a vital role in his achievements. In the end, it was because of the murder of these people that he came to the end of his destiny.
3, there are principles.
Danny is not a fierce underworld, he did not forget the community after his career, often funded the neighborhood, sent rice to send noodles to send warmth, and even helped children get bicycles back from the police. Of course, the other side of goodness is firm principle, and bad people are doomed to short life. The men who promised him not to gamble again broke their promises, and he decisively disposed of them. Because of the conflict of interests, he decided to kill his friends and raised his children to school. All of this earned him the title of the modern "Robin Hood".
4. Good luck.
Danny suffered countless murders in his life, car bombs, street shootings, house bombings, all in all forms, but he magically dodged them. His explanation for this is that he is a Catholic, that only God can decide his life and death, that God will not let him die, that no one can kill him. This explanation is too mysterious, but human luck is so wonderful. When his fortune is strong, no matter how to harm, he is safe, and when everything is about to end, he cannot get rid of the end of fate.
Watch him rise from a tall building, watch him feast on guests, and watch him collapse. Whether to live a legendary life or bland is the truth is a difficult question. Perhaps, we are not qualified to choose to become a legend or to be invisible, maybe everything is arranged by fate, and what role does that person play in it?
