The typical American is the movie, David, a failed middle-aged role model, the money is not much, the status is always ignored or even ridiculed, the child is in detoxification, and the wife is disgusting when he is in the process of being obese , the father was diagnosed with cancer. Everything, too bad.
The tone of the film is cool and objective, and it calmly describes the reaction of such an ordinary man to the unknown misfortunes of life.
Nicolas Cage obviously lived up to expectations. This unfortunate man was wretched, failed, and struggling. He couldn't help "fuck" and "shit" when he was in trouble. He was always faced with the dilemma of being thrown out of trash by people who recognized him. But unable to change. He wanted to work hard to improve his relationship with his wife, but he was kicked out of the house because he peeked at his wife's privacy. He wanted to solve the children's problems and make them have a happy childhood. At the end of the race, it was obvious that her leg was injured, and her son gradually became indifferent to the camera he promised. Every time his father asked him to buy drinks, he often, just right, didn't have enough money.
The day was procrastinated and cumbersome, like an old woman's foot-binding cloth, stinky and long. But still have to go on.
Fortunately, this is an American movie, and the turning point is revealed. The positive elements of the film begin to unfold slowly. David's father stops him in the music of "like a rock" and looks him in the eye calmly:
This shit life... we must chuck some things.
We must chuck them... in this shit life.
There's always looking after. You have time
for this shit life. . . We have to throw something away.
We must throw them away. . . In this shit life.
There is always something to look after. You still have time.
This is the only advice the dying old man can give when he sees his son in a bad situation. Life is indeed difficult, especially in the adult world, there is no easy word at all. We carry too much, but there is nowhere to tell, anger, annoyance, frustration, frustration, helplessness, all are forced to be pressed together - even if it is compressed biscuits, if you carry too much, your waist will flash.
So, throw it away, throw away those swear words that you can't help when you are in trouble, they are useless, they can only make your mood worse, a person who swears swearing all day long, he must be unhappy.
Drop the job you hate! A job that makes you increasingly frustrated is nothing to hold on to. A new job means a new way of life, a new beginning. David in the film pursues a new job so hard, not just for money, but also in the hope that this new job will bring a new and more pleasant atmosphere to his family and his life.
In the end, let go of the way you look at people. How you see others, how others see you. David, who was always being thrown by people on the street, turned into David who was greeted by everyone, not because of anything else, but because his eyes became calm and clear, firm and inviolable.
In the second half of the film, David's career has a new direction, he can get rid of the cookie-cutter weather forecast, he obviously doesn't know anything but has to be an expert in weather forecasting, he gradually has a stable hobby, archery, when the whistling sound passes by. He hit the bullseye firmly in his ears, and at this moment, he may have a little peace in his heart. The daughter has suitable and beautiful clothes, and finally got rid of the dilemma of being ridiculed by others as a "camel hoof". The son has his own dream and is no longer addicted to drugs. However, life is not a fairy tale, there are always some things, the river is surging, and there is no turning back. The wife married someone else, and the father died after all. But, this is life, isn't it?
We bring some kindness and innocence. We don't expose the "camel hoof", not to praise you for being strong, but to describe your clothes so tight that you can see the shape of your vulva. The moment when the ice opens the frozen target. We are poked around by life, but also, in our own lives, laugh at life.
