The main line of the movie: three elderly people with limited mobility, robbing the bank of two million and three hundred thousand dollars
These are the three old men
Most retired elderly people will take their children at home after retirement, or hang out with friends from time to time. Not to mention the old man who is nearly seventy or eighty years old. However, the old people in our comedy movie "Three Old Gunners" have refreshed people's three views, and in the last stage of their lives, they have completed a shocking robbery and ransacked the bank for two and a half million US dollars.
Next, let the egg boy analyze why these three old people ransacked the bank and why they were successful.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > why three old men want to rob a bank</h1>
Analysis of different causes of three elderly people:
1, Joe: The butterfly effect caused by pension problems.
Wexler Steel, where Joe works, suspended employee pensions as the company closed its U.S. operations. This move caused a butterfly effect on Joe's personal finances, which directly led to Joe's inability to repay the bank loan on time, and to make matters worse, the loan interest rate of the loan project peddled to Joe by the bank's wealth manager tripled, which made Joe even more unable to pay the bank's arrears, and the bank demanded to recover Joe's house as collateral.
In order to provide a better reading environment for his granddaughter, Joe's divorced daughter and granddaughter both live in Joe's house, and once the bank takes the house, Joe's family will live on the street, so he can't lose this only house.
Joe received a red warning from the bank
In addition, Joe had personally experienced a bank robbery, and he had witnessed how easily the robbers had robbed huge sums of money from the bank, and how the police were incompetent and allowed the robbers to escape, which gave Joe a great degree of confidence.
(Egg boy has something to say: Here we want to add a common sense, that is, the consumption habits of Americans.) As we all know, the United States is an advanced consumer country, and most people do not have the habit of saving. They first borrow money for consumption, and then use future salaries and so on to repay bank loans. Once you lose your job and lose your income in the future, you will not be able to repay your bank loans. In addition, egg boy to supplement the U.S. private enterprise pension system, which is a system in which private companies where employees work to pay pensions to employees, which has a strong unreliability and has been reformed. ）
2: Willie: Family is always more important than career
Willie has a serious kidney problem and is in urgent need of a kidney transplant, and money becomes part of the problem of his surgery, but this does not lead to an eighty-year-old man making the decision to rob the bank, and what really makes him determined to do a big job is his miss for his granddaughter. Due to the poor family, Willie and his granddaughter are separated from each other, and they can't see each other several times a year, so they can only be contacted by video, in order to see their families more times a year, Willie is determined to join the plan to rob the bank.

3: Al: Love needs a material foundation
Al was the least willing to participate in the program. He wasn't married, he wasn't worried. There is no need to take risks at the last stage of life. But love came so suddenly that Al met the other half he wanted to take care of for the rest of his life, and it all cost money, even if the rest of his life wasn't long.
Find the other half of Al
Common reason: three old people are working in the steel company, the closure of the steel company directly led to the lack of money for the old people who were not rich, coupled with the problems they encountered in their respective lives, several old people broke the jar and broke, in order to be able to enjoy the old age smoothly, together planned this shocking robbery.
Egg boy analysis: In fact, if there is no robbery, these three old people will not be forced to a dead end, Joe's family will move to a smaller and broken house, the granddaughter will not be able to go to a good school, Willie will be more difficult to reunite with his family, and Al can only move to live with his girlfriend. They are indeed victims of banks and companies, but they have magnified the harm they have done to them, and they have vented their desire to live a better life on the banks.

Non-feasibility analysis:
Robbery, even if it is a general robbery, requires the robber to be agile and have a certain "experience and planning", not to mention robbing the bank. Next, let's look at the situation of our three protagonists and the first wave of robbers at the beginning of the movie by comparison:
Comparison of robber situations
From the perspective of physical condition and personal experience alone, the three elderly people simply do not have the conditions to rob the bank, if you want to rob the bank, it is simply whimsical, the robbery plan will inevitably fail, even if you are lucky enough to escape the scene, you should eventually be solved by the police, and you can't escape the end of being arrested and imprisoned by the police. Dramatically, however, the robbery was a success.
Analysis of the reasons for success:
It was precisely because the three elderly people lacked experience in robbing banks that the seemingly unsuccessful robbery was successfully carried out.
They have no experience, find "experienced" helpers, help them design processes and routes, find weapons and vehicles, create alibi, so that the robbery plan can be carried out in an orderly manner; they have no experience, in order to avoid accidents, the real guns that may threaten the safety of others are replaced by empty packages, to avoid the escalation of the incident into a dead, injury and bloodshed; they have no experience, and even dare to communicate with the hostages during the robbery, it is precisely because of this exchange that close witnesses finally give up identification. The three protagonists are eventually able to escape the law.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the irony of the film</h1>
On Douban, the genre of this movie is divided into comedy crime categories.
But more precisely, it should be a satirical film expressed in the form of comedy.
Comedy movies
1: Satirize the bank's untrustworthiness.
A dishonest person cannot borrow a penny from the bank. But what if the bank is untrustworthy? As a credit institution trusted by the general public, once the bank is no longer trusted by people, but uses various wording, financial scams and other methods to become a machine for harvesting the property of the middle and lower classes of society, then it will inevitably be spurned and resisted by people. In the movie, it is only revenge in the form of a bank robbery.
Banks peddle junk products
The two analogies, the BOC crude oil treasure incident is also quite meaningful. As a professional institution for investment and wealth management, the wealth management products set up by banks are unreasonable, resulting in investors who do not know how to do business, and eventually the bank is criticized by angry investors and severely punished by the CBRC. For banks with a lot of assets, the things that can be solved with money are only small things, but how can investors trust the banks in the future?
Affected by the crude oil treasure incident, the stock price of the Bank of China fell sharply
2: Satirize the irrationality of the corporate social pension system
No matter how young and strong you are now, you will grow old one day. If society cannot provide a sustained and stable old-age system, so that people can rely on the old and enjoy their old age, then the social order will inevitably be violently impacted.
No one is born a thief, and no old man wants to be a thief at the last moment of life, so it is particularly important to establish a reasonable and orderly and stable and lasting pension system, which is why all countries are actively establishing and optimizing their own pension system, because taking care of the elderly is a social responsibility.
3: Satirize the incompetence of the police
Within a month, the same bank was robbed twice, the second time by three elderly men with limited mobility, but the police failed to arrest the robbers. If the police can efficiently catch the robbers for the first time, the three old men do not dare to rob the bank at all, and it is precisely because of the incompetence of the police that the old man's courage to rob the bank is encouraged. Two bank robberies involving up to four million dollars in the end, no one except the banks, not even the banks, they also have insurance companies. Criminals are still on the outside, how can such a police station maintain social order and ensure the safety of other people's lives and property!
