Ever since Matt started looking for Speer, I've been habitually framing the plot, the cliché of course, only to find myself being duped by a savvy screenwriter. For example, when I ran into each other from the beach, I felt that Matt didn't find or see Speer in the end, especially when he saw the Speer family enjoying themselves, I almost believed that Matt would let him go, but Finally they met. The second is that when Matt explained everything to Speer that night, I felt that the movie had built Matt into a selfless, disregarding character who didn't break the harmony of another family, but Speer confessed everything to his wife. . And so on, I vaguely feel that the screenwriter is secretly laughing at me behind the screen: Demo, are you fooled?
In the end, it is the famous saying that a man cheating is different from a woman cheating. A man cheating does not want to affect his family, and a woman is willing to give up everything for a third party. Verified again.
PS I don't understand why Matt didn't sell the land in the end, although from the title, this should be the theme of the movie, and when the family watched TV on the sofa at the end, the narration on the TV seemed to express this theme. If that's the case, I think, then the film really fails a bit in terms of conveying the theme.
