The various twists and turns of the plot of this movie are quite dramatic,
but the interaction with Dad at the end is simply too flippant, making the brewing and accumulating contradictions and tensions that have been brewing and accumulating all of a sudden feel like a hasty ending.
Molly seems to be an angry little girl who rebels and resents her father's cheating, and her way of expressing her dissatisfaction is unconsciously hurting herself. The first time was a twisting and dislocation accident of the spine when he was a teenager. The second time was during the Olympic Games, when he missed the chance to compete for medals because of an accident. After that, he fell deeper and deeper into the predicament step by step in the poker game.
And his father just met her at the ice skating rink by chance, and it took so-called three minutes to have the effect of the so-called three-year psychotherapy. In these three minutes, their father and daughter reconciled the knots of the past 30 years. Damn, psychological treatment is really easy. Therefore, Molly's heart is just a little girl who longs for father's love. Dad showed love and care and she was healed. . . A rendition of the standard Oedipus complex. . . speechless. . So, since the only man Molly really loves is her dad, there's nothing in this movie that shows her having an emotional connection with any other man, except her dad. . .
In this way, Molly is comforted by the male authority she once hated, and then her rebellious spirit is over, and all she really wants to be is the sweet little daughter of the awesome dad. As for why her father cheated, why did her father ignore her for so many years, there is no need to go into it, and a happy happy ending for the whole family is a happy ending, right? . .
