Watching Stickman in 11 years

I already knew about the stickman movie in 2010, but I haven't seen it. The main reason is that Cage, who was supposed to be a liar, was deceived at the end when I read the introduction of the story. On the one hand, I couldn't accept this fact emotionally, whether it was for the plot that my favorite actor was deceived, or because My own substitution felt that this kind of plot was unacceptable to me; on the other hand, I already knew the ending of the story under the preconceived situation of the plot introduction, so I didn't have the pleasure of the final reversal. But until I watched the whole film today, I found out that there is right and wrong. The wrong thing is that this film is not just as simple as a liar being deceived. In fact, Mr. Scott is still telling the story of human nature. Whether I wanted to watch it as a psychological film (with a description of obsessive-compulsive disorder), or as an idol film (like Uncle Cage), it is still a memory of my young self. Now 11 years have passed. After I finally finished watching the film, I breathed a sigh of relief. I also read out a message: People’s heart disease still needs to be healed by themselves. Let’s talk openly and honestly about the sin that life is always better than being rich. Life has to be real.

Matchstick Men quotes

  • Roy: [while looking for his pills] Pygmies!

  • Frank Mercer: [narration from Frank's letter to Roy] Dear Roy, You're probably pretty upset. I don't blame you. You taught me most of what I know, so I suppose I owe you better than this. But you always told me if I ever got a shot at a big score, I should take it. And that's what I did. Sorry about the sap on the head, by the way, and for everything else. You always said guys like us can't afford to have regrets about what we do. That's gonna be a little harder for me, but I'll manage. If it makes any difference, you're the best I ever saw. I'd never find a better partner, and now I won't have to. I love you, man. Frank. P.S. Enjoy the gift.
