电影的导演是岩井俊二，曾经看过他导演的另一部电影《情书》。
电影里反复提到的一首歌《My way》，给人一种坚定的信念。
My way 我的路 And now, the end is near 现在，终点已经靠近 And so I face the final curtain 于是我要面对最后的落幕 My friend, I'll say it clear 我的朋友，我将会清楚的说出来 I'll state my case, of which I'm certain 我会肯定的陈述我的经历 I've lived a life that's full 我已经度过了充实的一生 I've traveled each and every highway 我已经走过所有的每一条高速路 But more, much more than this 但是更多，更多于此的是 I did it my way 我走自己的路 Regrets, I've had a few 后悔，我也曾有过一些 But then again, too few to mention 但是一样的是，（后悔的事情）太少不值得提起 I did what I had to do 我（都）是做我必须做的事情 And saw it through without exemption 回想起来也不会想去改变它 I planned each charted course 我计划好每一次行程 Each careful step along the byway 孤身一人在小道上时我会小心的走每一步 But more, much more than this 但是更多，更多于此的是 I did it my way 我走自己的路 Yes, there were times I'm sure you knew 是的，有过那么几次，我相信你也知道 When I bit off more than I could chew 当我咬下超过我能咀嚼的分量的时候 But through it all, when there was doubt 但是这一切，当还是犹豫的时候 I ate it up and spit it out 我毫不保留的吞了下去 I faced it all and I stood tall 我面对一切并且昂首而立 And did it my way 我走自己的路 I've loved, I've laughed and cried 我曾经爱过，我曾经笑过哭过 I've had my fill; my share of losing 我曾经心满意足，我也承受过失败 And now, as tears subside 现在，当泪水消逝 I find it all so amusing 我发现一切（回想起来）都（会觉得）那么有趣 To think I did all that 回想起我做过的一切 And may I say - not in a shy way 我可以毫不害羞的说 "No, oh no not me,I did it my way" "不，我不是这样，我走自己的路" For what is a man, what has he got? 什么是一个人，他拥有什么？ If not himself, then he has naught 如果他不拥有自身，那他就一无所有 To say the things he truly feels 说出他真实感觉的事情 And not the words of one who kneels 而不是屈尊的言语 The record shows I took the blows 唱片记录下我已经有点上气不接下气了 And did it my way 我走自己的路 yes，it was my way 是的，这就是我的路
电影也不乏温情之处，比如说冷血的刘梁魁被路上的小孩阻拦，去救雅佳时的毫不犹豫，比如雅佳带着巨额现金找到卖房的老板，想再次买回俱乐部，然而房子早已经卖给别人，原本想要用绳子勒住雅佳，抢走现金，最终还是没有下手。
物欲横流的社会让每个人都不得不郑重地选择自己的路。
但燕尾蝶的幼虫，最终都能破茧成蝶。
