The film does not have rich and gorgeous lens language, exquisite composition and expressive colors, or even deliberate rendering and sensationalism. The whole film is straightforward, and the simple shots convey the power of silent but shocking love. In this film, we have to admire the director's bold selection of materials. Because the plots of movies with this theme are mostly clichéd, smart audiences can easily guess the development of the plot. Therefore, the director focused on the details of the film. The male protagonist was in a hurry to make toast from the beginning to the end, and the director did not deliberately magnify these details, but chose to let the viewers discover and experience it by themselves. The change and growth of a father. Actor Dustin's expressive performance is also a bonus for the film's Oscar win. The father in the film has to shoulder the responsibility of raising children alone, weighing the relationship between family and work. Even if you are under a lot of pressure, you have to pretend to be relaxed in front of your child, and you have to cater to your child's petty temper. These daily routines resonate strongly with moviegoers. In such a technologically advanced and fast-paced era, every parent is under invisible pressure that is unknown to their children. This alone can touch the hearts of countless audiences. Dustin interprets the deep yet feigned ease of a father's love very well. There is no exaggerated performance or crying, but there is a hot and deep love in his eyes at a certain moment. He expresses the forbearance and helplessness of a single father very well. The handling at the end of the film is also very clever. The plot, which should have been thoroughly grasped by the audience, was reversed at the last moment. We can also understand it as a sublimation of values. I thought that the child would finally leave with the mother, and then the father would finally let go even if it was difficult to let go. But the director and screenwriter gave another answer-the mother gave up her obsession with getting the child and left the child with the father. Love is selfish. This kind of fulfillment requires a lot of courage. It is fulfilled because of love. Let us have to respect this mother in awe. This also hints at another ending - the hero and heroine may be reunited, and the happy ending expected by moviegoers may be realized. And the film came to an abrupt end at this time, and the stories that were not fully told are the ones that are truly worth recalling. The director leaves the future plot to the audience's imagination. The director allows every audience to participate in their film and respects each audience's interpretation and expectation of the story. In fact, he fully understood that the plot would be guessed by the audience, but he didn't want to hide it at all. He touched the hearts of every moviegoer with his unpretentious, fluent camera language and absolute sincerity to the audience.
