This was definitely not what I expected when I first watched this movie. I'm not sure I really had any expectations. But the scene that really stuck out to me (& still makes me a little teary eyed) is the part where Dinero is walking through the subway (I think that's where the tunnel was) & he stops to give what appears to be a homeless kid money. At first the kid just takes it & it would have been fine if Dinero would have kept on walking...but he didn't.
Now, what he said is true & the kid should've been thankful for the generosity, but based off my opinion of humans I don't think would have said "you know, you could say thank you" to the kid. So the kids gets up & tries to assault Dinero (poor old man - his character) saying that he had seen more money in Dinero's wallet & was going for it, but thankfully he keeps the kid from doing major damage. However, the meds he needs to take were in his coat pocket & of course fell out. Ok - I know it is just a movie & all that, but why would u put something that can determine life or death in a coat pocket without it being zipped? O course, I'm not sure there's a better place for them. Anyways, so of course the punk kid steps on the meds & crushes them & then walks off as Dinero was saying he needed those (slight plea) dropping down to scoop up any remains of powder he could. In the movie he wasn't supposed to be traveling (which he was) & after this incident it only makes sense that something would happen...he was the hospital - almost died.
But enough about the movie - this scene just pisses me off! What a little dirt bag! The sad thing is this type of thing happens everyday. Then, why would you attack an old man? What the hell is wrong with you? Go get a damn job like the rest of us. I feel so bad for Dinero's character - it makes me want to jump in & deal with the kid.
This scene irks me because there are mean & ugly & hateful people out there. You can't trust anyone. That "homeless" guy on the corner could be your average middle class man who makes a decent living, but does this on the "side" for extra income. Or what about the people who use their children out on the streets to get money from strangers. It's just sick.
It would be so great if we actually could help one another & be able to trust the intention of the other person - God tells us to give & care for the needy too. But we put ourselves in potential danger so what do you do?
That was just my rant on shady people.
