When the plot unfolds, when the story is getting better, it's also when I realize that this is not the case When an ordinary road movie is really interesting, I think of an old song "The Same Moonlight", there are a few lines in it:
Who can tell me
who can tell me
whether we have changed the world
or the world has changed Based on your and my
expectations and points of view, I will focus on whether Locke will continue with his original decision when there is still room for recovery. If he regrets his impulsiveness, as long as he is willing, a U-turn, a few phone calls, a decent job, and a happy family can all come back.
Even if it is the largest cement pouring project in Europe, it is enough to take remedial measures in one night; even if it is the first "derailment" in fifteen years (can't think of a more appropriate word), there is still room for communication and comfort to the wife and children at home. .
This is the choice most people will make, because the secretary has no intention of being a third party, and Locke is not an abusive man. In each of us, one side is a woman you don't love who is about to give birth, and the other side is 3/4 of your life - work and family, which is more important, which side will you give up and consolidate which side? This is a very realistic multiple-choice question. Maybe someone pursues the romantic element in the movie, saying that they will choose to run away with the secretary, work, family, etc. to die, this is unruly, this is a happy life, I can only haha, this is This kind of person may not be able to survive the first ten minutes of the film and turn around and go back to the company.
As the phone calls were made and connected on the road, the character of Locke gradually became
clear. This is a calm and calm man who acts in an orderly manner and takes precautions. There are few accidents in his life, and the rhythm is firmly in his hands. Even if this accident makes him overwhelmed, he still thinks of a quick solution in thousands of thoughts. The best way to solve the problem is to call and arrange for a trusted subordinate to complete the homework on your behalf, making a perfect ending to the final project of your career. In the past 9 years, the projects he has taken over have not made a single mistake. His career is booming, and his marriage is happy and his family is happy.
His wife and children are fans of him. Regarding whether his wife is a real fan, I understand it like this: The so-called love is not that we happen to like to do the same thing, but that I am willing to accompany you to do what you like to do.
Locke's wife, in my opinion, is out of love for her husband, love for her family, and on countless weekend nights, catering to the atmosphere of a live game, changing into a jersey, grilling sausages and pouring beer for her husband and children. . The most painful thing is that Mrs. Locke repeatedly said "the difference between one time and zero time". She couldn't accept that her husband who loved her so much had a "merry history" of one-night stands, and she couldn't feel her husband's treatment of her. love never changes.
There are two very important details. One is that the hospital called and asked him several times if he was a relative of the maternity. He introduced himself only with the sentence "I am the father of the child", which is the only position Locke has for himself; The second is that the secretary begged Locke to say "I love you", but a perfunctory word, Locke insisted not to say it, and his tone was firm and non-negotiable, but when he was talking on the phone with Mrs. Locke, he said a sentimental "I always I love you", I can feel the same, how difficult it is for a man who is accustomed to thinking rationally to see the world all day to say such words, it can only show that he really loves Mrs. Locke, and it has not changed from beginning to end.
However, love is like this. Outsiders can see it clearly, but it is very subtle. What can Locke do to prove that his love for his wife has not changed? He has his own persistence. This kind of persistence is a belief above everything else. , Belief does not change due to the common rules of the world, even if it is misunderstood by the closest people, even if you lose your identity and wealth, you must defend and not compromise with the world.
He felt depressed, he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of his father, and he swore that he would never become that kind of person because of his father's humiliation for the rest of his life. The time to test him has come. From the moment he got into the BMW, he has made a decision. The calls he made and received were all his conversations with the world, and the world persuaded him again and again: compromise, this is the reality. He never compromised, but he was in pain because of the memories of the good things he had given up. People may have absolute sensibility, but there is no absolute rationality. If you are always brilliant and never lost, it is not that you are strong enough, but the softest part of your heart has not been hit.
I don't know if shouting a few more "FUCK" can make Locke's inner torment and torment a little less, but I know that Locke has not compromised with the world. His persistence is as rare as this movie with one character, but it is absolutely beautiful, realistic. It is cruel. You and I will both face the choice of whether to compromise with the world when we know that we cannot change the world. Locke's answer to us is - never turn around.
