About the torture of humanity and morality

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2020)

To some extent, the most successful part of the film is its self-confidence in dealing with the rhythm and theme given by its authenticity.Its authenticity extends to the protagonist Henry's intention to join the gang, the desire for material desires, and a primitive and unadorned violent worship. At the same time, the unhappiness of family life gave him a desire to be recognized and recognized. Regarding his enthusiastic pursuit of self-worth recognition, he stuck his face to the window and looked at the people across the street. Since then, the whole film has always been compact, from his stepping into the den across the street to becoming one of them. Then met Tommy and Jimmy, and then went to commit crimes, start a family, commit a major crime, and finally went to jail, pleaded guilty, and assisted the police to confess other associates, and was included in the witness protection plan. From an outsider's perspective, I can't find the climax of the film. Some people say that the climax is Henry's imprisonment, but I think Scorsese will not be too interested in the popular theme of punishing evil and doing good. From the perspective of the dictator, the climax of the film should be the most popular part of the three brothers' illegal business. Since the killing of Tommy, the film has reached an inevitable ending.
