The first three chapters of the film set the stage for this "escape": auntie uses a warm water bag with warmth and concern to make ricky stay willingly, a birthday cake convinces him that staying is right; then Auntie died, and then the orphanage sent a letter saying that it planned to pick Ricky back, and then the escape began.
From the fourth chapter, Hec's leg injury really began to get along with the two. Whether it is human nature or routines, in the end, they all go from hating each other to understanding and living in harmony. Occasionally interspersed in the middle are a few ironic images of the "enthusiastic" staff of the orphanage, interspersed with images from normal life, and interspersed with a neurotic Sam. The life of escape does not seem to be so turbulent, but it is more like the happy life of ordinary days.
It wasn't until the final epilogue that the two really reached a settlement. Fatty admits his mistake, and Hec reads out the poorly done haiku. The grandfather said side by side, "I didn't choose the gang life, but the gang life chose me".
I really like the way the director gives close-up shots to some pictures, and just enlarges some of the things that he wants to express. The most impressive thing is that in the first chapter, when auntie took little fat Ricky to hunt wild boars, the close-up scene moved back and forth between the constantly rising and falling knife in auntie's hands and the changing expressions on little fat Ricky's face, and finally ended with auntie bloody. Smiley ended up with the little fat man, and under the gap, laughter couldn't help but burst out. A comparison is given here later in the movie. Ricky took up the gun and aimed at the wild boar to save Hec. It seems that at that moment, this fat man can really survive in this bush.
In fact, the whole film still focuses on the "warm feeling card", but it is also oily but not greasy (Am I watching too little?). I like the control of the picture very much, and I can't say the professional vocabulary; Needless to say, the BGM is quite in place, and it has a unique flavor with the background of the bush; Fatty's vivid performance fully proves that in this face-seeing society, relying on acting skills It's also possible, and people will cos the first drop of blood is not. Of course, I like the auntie with only one chapter at the beginning. The old man rated her as a "rescue dog", specializing in searching and rescuing people like them who were "lonely, lonely and cold". But I think that people have light in their hearts, and there will be light wherever they shine. If nothing else, the cold humor of the opening self-talk is enough to explain everything.
In the end, the film does lack most of the elements that make it a popular commercial film, such as casts/looks, such as turbulent plots, such as "profound" philosophical thinking, and so on. It may be destined to be a slightly cold and warm little movie. . But who can deny that we often need such warm and watery movies to iron out our complicated lives.
