Hesher --- Give life a little more power.

I don't listen to heavy metal at all, because too intense music tends to make people cranky and disturbing.

Hesher in the film is a schizophrenic heavy metal fan and can be said to be the lead and lead of the whole film.

The 13-year-old TJ is the ever-changing soul character in the play.

A simple film: the bereavement of a family, the alternation of violence and impulsive demons, the beginning of decadence and confusion,

the alternation of sincerity and lies, and the return of humanity.

The funny thing is that Hesher's presence adds to the drama.

He should almost be a cartoon character in the movie, not a life character who appears in the movie.

Violent, impulsive, but both tender and romantic, completely opposite personalities, like the twin flowers of everyone's true thoughts.

The emergence of various rules and regulations stems from the development and unification of society.

The puzzling place is: whether everyone can live in a healthy way in accordance with these laws and regulations.

Who sets the rules of the game? Who should abide by it?

Why are some people allowed to foul? Why can't some people be recognized no matter how hard they try?

Who is willing to be decadent? Who is willing to struggle to live at the bottom of society?

Hesher is a free-spirited person. If he wants to blow up, he will blow up, if he wants to make trouble, he will make trouble. It seems that his behavior is not under his own control.

But in fact, he has his own strict set of moral standards. He is not good at concealing his emotions,

but he loves the old man extremely and keeps his promises.

The fatigue of the long road of life and the process of various erotic experiences, the most important thing has always been in my heart.

It is a beacon, which makes people no longer hesitant and uneasy, and whatever they suffer will eventually disappear.

The words of the old man in the grandmother's funeral are the core source of the film:

life is like walking in the rain, you can choose to avoid it, or you can walk in the rain and face it bravely.

Hesher quotes

  • Hesher: You lost your wife. And you lost your mom. I lost my nut.

  • Hesher: I pulled this gas tank from an old Chevy. I wanted to blow it up, so I did. What I didn't think about was all the little bits of metal that were going to fly out in every direction. I almost killed myself. I woke up in this hospital and this doctor was like, "Son..." and I said "Don't call me son, you fucking cunt." And he was like, "You blew off your nut." pause I just lost my nut, like that. I went fucking crazy. I assaulted a nurse or a doctor, I don't really remember. I got arrested. I went to juvee. All I could think about was my fucking nut, man. I'm missing a nut. What am I going to do? I had to go looking for it, right? So I busted out of juvee and I went searching. I couldn't find my nut. pause Well, there was this one night I was sitting there and I was taking a shit and I was looking at my balls and I was staring at this little piece of flabby sack where my left nut used to be. And then I saw my right nut for the first time. I was like FUCK MAN, MY NUT! Look I have one, I still have a nut. Right? It's a good nut, it works. God or the fucking devil or whoever the fuck it is you know he left me with one good nut. I still have a fucking nut and it works. And my fucking dick works too. pause Okay, you lost your wife. And you lost your mom. I lost my nut.
