Featured review
The meaning is clear. The attitude - didn't change.
The whole essence of the film can be conveyed in two theses:
1) Not all criminals are completely guilty of their crimes. From time to time they grow up like this because of their environment, poor upbringing or attitude towards them ... BUT! ... how many of these children grow up to be normal too? Maximum unsociable maybe, but not stealing/raping/killing. If they wanted to change, they would. The rest are only excuses.
2) This guy loved his foster family, but continued to steal from them. Conscience tormented, made sad eyes ... BUT! ... continued to steal. Therefore, when he began to cry, telling me that he spent almost all his life in prison, he did not really touch me or caused regret.
.. I understand the essence of the film, I understand that people and destinies are different ... I agree that the film does its job, makes us understand what they wanted to say with this film. But that's all. This thief will give an interview, cry on camera with real tears, yes, but after he get out of a jail, what he will do next? ...He will go and steal and sit down again. Why should I sympathize with him if he himself does not want to change? Instead of stealing money from family to say "what the hell, we love each other, I was given a chance." For this ... NO.
