In fact, I don't like watching this kind of film very much. What is there to see in a middle-aged man, but when I think of everything I've watched recently, I really need to watch a good film to polish myself.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been too mindless recently, or I’ve watched too many soap operas, or maybe the rhythm of the movie is too weird. I watched the first half with a hard time and told myself to stick to it, because I didn’t hate it or feel it. This film is poor. Looking at it, I slowly became angry, reminding me of Zola's "Little Hotel", cruelly talking about the weakness of human nature. Everyone will hate this male protagonist. He lives a kind and kind life every day. He is as helpless as a small child who does not dare to face difficulties. He will only show a miserable expression of surprise. The wife is going to get divorced in a showdown, and the person she likes is the one that everyone is familiar with. It was obviously his fault that the victim seemed to be his, but the male protagonist did not punch him like an ordinary person. On his wife's man's face, facing his wife's man's greetings, he was not able to say what he wanted to say. What's worse, his wife's man wanted to live in their house and let the hero move to a hotel. How useless is it? Such a man is not kind at all, but is so weak that he can be thrown into the trash can.
Everyone in the movie is very annoying. The actor's two dead children are as indifferent as they were picked up from the garbage heap last year. Mom and Dad are going to divorce, they are not surprised at all, and the daughter still uses the heat of life to wash her hair. In the past, the son's biggest concern about his father's move away was that the TV could not receive a certain channel again.
This kind of life is really too bad, I think, you must not be weak, even if you are poor, you can live in your own world with dignity, don't be like a useless person, if you really live like that, you might as well die. Come on.
My mind changed in that scene. The male protagonist dreamed that he said goodbye to Arthur by the river. Arthur was about to start a new life. The male protagonist gave Arthur a stack of money. Arthur said, you need money too. The male protagonist said, it doesn't matter, you can take it. At this moment, I saw the aura of kindness. The male protagonist is a person who treats others kindly. How supreme is this spirit. Although this is a dream, isn't the male protagonist just such a person in reality, taking care of his autistic brother. It's just useless, I forgive the male protagonist.
Even if you feel that life is useless and you are a terrible person, there is always something to be desired, such as health, sunshine, flowers and plants, all good things, if you endure a little bit, you will meet something worthwhile in your life.
