Butch is the son of a prostitute, and his father had a domestic violence, so he killed his father at the age of eight to protect his mother. He was sent to a reformatory school, which he could have avoided, but a responsible policeman wanted him to study hard and stop committing crimes, and gave the judge some benefits and sent him there. The fact is that Butch didn't get better. He was sent to prison for committing a crime.
He escaped from prison with another prisoner. The other prisoner is really scum. When they went to Philip's house to get some food, he tried to rape Philip's mother, and finally Butch stopped them and took Philip as a hostage.
On the run, that scum was killed by Butch while trying to hurt Philip. At this time, my father's love is revealed in Butch. He didn't get his father's love since he was a child, and neither did Philip, so he took Philip as his childhood self and he wanted to protect him.
In the process of fleeing all the way, he tried to be a good father, realized Philip's wish, and at the same time guided him to be a good man. When Philip stole a Halloween costume from the store, Butch told him not to steal it. There is really no money to buy it.
Subconsciously, Butch has been educating and guiding Philip as his father. Philip lived with his mother and two sisters since childhood, and his family rules were very strict. His mother's religion made them not celebrate this festival, and he didn't play with the children nearby, so Philip was an introverted and timid child.
Butch taught Philip the accelerator and brakes of the car. So when Philip was alone in the car, he stopped the car by Butch's method, and Philip's confidence increased greatly.
Butch can't stand hitting children. So when the mother of a family of four angrily educated the children who spilled food on their new car, Butch decided to rob their car. Later, a kind-hearted black farmer invited Butch and them to his house for rest and dinner, but when he beat up his grandson, Butch was very angry, and he tied up the black family. At this time, Philip thought Butch was going to hurt the black man and shot and wounded Butch. Butch didn't blame Philip for being brave.
Butch has been trying to maintain a perfect world, protect Philip, let him learn and grow, and make him brave. The final ending is not perfect. The story ends with Butch being killed by a gunman. So sad!
Tips: During the child's growth, if the father is absent for a long time, it will easily lead to the child's personality and emotional defects.
Psychologists have found that children who don't get enough care and companionship from their fathers are prone to anxiety, loneliness, inferiority, poor self-control, and even personality and behavior problems such as aggression, love of competition and rebellion.
These are called fatherless syndrome.
