At first I thought it was a film about the daily life of a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, but later I found out that it should be a family warm film about the reunion of a father and daughter who have been separated for many years. The ending was really unexpected. It turned out that the whole film was a complete scam. Roy has long used deception for profit, but was eventually deceived by his accomplices and bankrupted his family. In this way, the film tells that the deceiver will eventually suffer the consequences. From another point of view, Roy suffered from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder while cheating for a long time. His family was broken up and he was alone. , How can you know that it is not a blessing? From this point of view, the film also tells the story of a liar prodigal son who turns back and seeks redemption. There are many similar videos that can be mined, such as Roy's education to the fake daughter, the relief after learning the truth of being deceived, and so on. But the film doesn't just talk the big stuff dryly. The director has a great grasp of the narrative rhythm, the whole process is brisk, the interspersed jokes are very natural, and the BGM is also very emotional. Nicolas Cage contributed very good acting skills in this film, whether it is facial expressions, language, or body movements, he played a severely obsessive-compulsive disorder patient in place.
