Goodbye, gangsters

To be honest I don't like movies of this kind, somehow I finished this movie at the cost of a shut-eye this afternoon.
The HK movie "Goodbye, gangsters" （再见古惑仔）shot in 2007 seemed like a an end to the series of movies " gansters" that was once a hit in 1990s.
There's no doubt that the " gangsters" series has a very negative impact on the growing-ups in China, even Asia. The violence scenes and brutel gangster behavīors, individualism and heroism hightlighted, just encouraged the youth to follow, which in turn encouraged lots of social problems, campus violence, drugs, gamble, even prostitution.
The authority seemed to have realized its hazard and have been doing sth to make things up. "Goodbye, gangsters" is just a part of the action, following the last feature 九龙冰室 star-roled by 郑伊健。
So this time is a show time for 陈小春, to have a transformation of image, from a real gangster to a regreted gangster.
As a public character, an artist has his social responsibility to bring the public more positive entertainments, to help children and youngsters build up right values. What's more, one should do everything he can to make up for what he did wrong, so does an artist.
The movie again left me pondering if it's really so hard for a gangster to morph into a good guy. Yes, it seems that they are not always given chances to make some changes, once a gangster, always a gangster... And it's like their fate that they can never escape that they always end up caught killing someone for revenge, or dying hard...
I don't think it's good. Whatsoever the movie has to show the audience that people are always given chances to correct after the mistakes they made. That means movies as a public voice that has a profound influence on a wide range of audience, it should take its responsibility to teach people the right things.
General speaking, it's not overstated that the movie is still a great success despite the bloody violence scenes going too far.

oh,you guys r so kind and responsible to this world and people living in it .
i remember that i was exicted and really wanted to follow their brutel behaviors when i watchcd the gangster,coz i thought that's cool.
oh,sorry to leave these childish words here.but that's really what i felt about the movies that time.
now ,gangsters wanna to say goodbye to its
frantics in the movie,but i reckon that there must be lots of complains about its clumsy tactics,beause of its root in its frantics' hearts and lives.
