The story is false, wish it were true

Just looking at the title, I thought it was a clichéd cop movie or a spy war movie. To be honest, if it was in the past, it would have been easy to pass a good movie and fast-forward it like a glimpse - if it was before I became a father. It's obviously different now. Men are fathers, and they don't care about the same things, especially when you find a father who is crazy because he doesn't have the money to treat his son. My heart skipped a beat and I decided to read it.
It's really a Hollywood movie with an old-fashioned plot. A tense plot, tangled choices, unspeakable dilemmas and a bright ending. Don't want to make too many comments.
My conclusions are as follows:
First, this is the United States. This is a story that is only possible in America. If it were in the Celestial Dynasty, no screenwriter would make up such a story, and no director would direct it like this. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will kill him on the grounds of "impeding harmony" and "attacking the sound national medical system of the great motherland"!
Second, every father must work hard to make money and not let his children fall into the situation in the film. When necessary, do as Denzel Washington said when he said goodbye to his son—make money when you get the chance, even if you have to check your conscience every now and then.
Third, as a father, we must take on all the responsibilities of being a father. This point, ancient and modern, China and foreign countries, cannot be ignored. It should be regarded as a "universal value".
Also, I know the story is false, but would rather it be true. I also know that a perfect ending is impossible, but deep down I still agree with the director's arrangement. This is the movie, giving hope to the humble life.
