The word redemption is actually more disgusting, what is salvation, a person who has done bad things to atone for his sins by doing good deeds, this process is called redemption. After the redemption, this person who has done bad things can have a clear conscience, but are these people really worthy in reality? Could it be that those who were hurt by him were written off simply because his redemption was complete? The author naturally does not object to people changing their ways and turning to righteousness, but anyone who changes their ways needs to pay the price for their previous actions before talking about salvation, otherwise, salvation will become a path for some people to escape sanctions, which is not good.
The movie "Gangster Thugs" recommended to you today tells a story of redemption, in fact, it is also a story of the saying "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot". David is a gangster in the slums of South Africa's capital, who does all kinds of evil and runs amok in the village, but one day, he beats his companion because of his righteousness. Later, he robbed a mother's car at gunpoint. After succeeding, David unexpectedly found that there was a baby in the car. Helpless, David wanted to abandon him at first, but eventually took the baby in. In order to keep the baby alive, David found a single mother in the slum and coerced her to feed the baby.
After that, David's life began to undergo various changes, and David slowly changed his past violent personality and began to seriously think about his previous behavior. And, inspired by a single mother in the slums, David began to look for his own mother for the baby. In the time spent with the baby, David slowly understood what his former brother said, what a person should and should not do. Later, David returned to his home with the baby and was punished.
"Gangster Thug" is a South Africa film, but also a film that depicts the current situation of South Africa's slums, the reason why this film has a great influence is that it shows the people of South Africa's slums a way, of course, this road is vague, but it is also much better than no road.
As far as the story is concerned, this film is not as good as the audience expected, and in terms of meaning, this film is also very bland, as mentioned above, David can put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the ground, but David still needs to have an explanation for what he did before. It can't be said that after you have completed your self-redemption, you can let everything you have done before you write it off. The completion of this redemption is a process, but before this process, David was not a good man, and this needs to be remembered.
A person can change his face, but he must go through a painful process, just like David's companion tried to comfort David, what he said was very reasonable, but this kind of truth was only a provocation to David before him, so he would be beaten and bruised and swollen before he realized what kind of process salvation was, and what he experienced in this process. David didn't have a way to think about it, and in the end, he could only realize it after he had experienced it thoroughly.
Robbing a disabled beggar, showing no mercy to his partner who wants to shoot the male owner of the villa, these are the process of David's awakening, although the process is bloody, but it also reflects that David began to think about his partner's words, began to think about what kind of person he wanted to be, and so on. After all these aspects were sorted out, it was as if David had changed into a different person, and eventually, redemption was completed.
The previous David was full of blood, and the later David seemed to be a different person. He understood what he didn't understand before, and after letting go of the previous one, he was really reborn. However, not everyone has the opportunity to rethink themselves, because not everyone can afford to pay the price.
Predictably, David was held accountable for his previous actions, and when he returned to his childhood home, he realized that his previous actions were meaningless. Because he's still trapped here, even if he becomes one of these rampant people, he still doesn't have the ability to really move forward.
The past can be said to say goodbye, but anyone who says goodbye to the past will naturally appreciate whether it takes just courage or something else to say goodbye. When we look at the past with a goodbye tone, we may see not only goodbye, but also our own past behaviors that are so assholes. People who truly accept themselves will definitely reconcile with the past, and even if the price of reconciliation requires more responsibility to hedge, the life after reconciliation will become an attractive inducement. This is the complete salvation.
The reason why David completed the complete redemption is that he finally surrendered, and if he just forgot about each other as many other movies show, this redemption would be greatly reduced. David's South Africa slum needs to rebuild order and give every child a future to choose from, so David's behavior is like a specimen. Only by truly thinking about oneself can one get out of here. Not every salvation is meaningful, if you can't face yourself, then you will eventually lose if you run amok for a while, because there will always be people who are stronger than yourself, and you will have tomorrow by jumping out of this cycle.
