This film
It's about a boy who got out of jail as a child of crime
How to adapt to real life
and how real life "embraced" and "accepted" his story
Suffice it to say that this is not an easy story
Even seeing the end you will be a little sad
about the passing of a life
24-year-old Jack (Andrew Garfield) was released on parole
You can imagine he spent most of his youth in prison
He knows nothing about the rules of human relationships and the world
You can also think that he is a piece of white paper "silly and sweet" so cute
He doesn't know how to order food, and it's amazing to McDonald's
Received new shoes will also be infinitely grateful
I don't know why everyone likes to joke too much
Not expressing yourself in front of girls
But you can't blame him
Because no one really taught him!
Fortunately, every wounded soul has someone to protect
Terry (Peter Mullan), who takes care of him, arranged for him
New name, new house, new job
So he started a new life under the name "Jack"
In the new work environment, Jack met a new friend Chris (Shaun Evans Shaun Evans)
Also made a girlfriend, Michelle (played by Katie Lyons)
You can see the fusion of his efforts in real life
He'd love to make up for what's missing over the years, just like everyone else.
He has a kind heart
Even saved a girl in a car accident
Most people have a secret
It's just that Jack's secret is bigger and more serious.
Although he has reformed, he still has to hide from everyone the fact that he used to be a murderer
Because the past stains and history will still influence people's thoughts
They will subconsciously think you are dangerous
will think you are still evil dangerous
Naturally people will doubt Jack when they can't find Michelle in the later stage
No regard for the past
Could it be that you meet him in real life?
Nowhere near as good as you know him from words?
Why is the world so narrow?
Jack used to be a teenager who was neglected by his teachers and parents
He hangs out with his only friend Philip all day
One day they brutally murdered a young girl in the woods
Jack did it wrong
But the same person cannot live forever in glorious history
Nature can't live in the wrong past forever
Jack is willing to come out
He changed his name to a new place
just to start over
But no one wants to accept him
Cold society and tabloids keep an eye on this teenage murderer
There is also a bounty on the Internet
As if turning a blind eye to the life he worked hard for
Then the unexplained disappearance of his girlfriend left him uneasy
Jealousy from Terry's son brings Jack to the fore
In an instant everyone knew the secret that he was once a murderer
In an instant, all the goodwill and praise that once had for him ceased to exist.
How should he, who was once called "Boy A", face his future life?
Memories of the past are always in front of Jack's eyes
Jack is also broken
He wondered if he had done something wrong
but no
The only problem is that the world hasn't fully embraced him
What you do now is the standard by which everything is judged
It is what you do now that really matters!!
The letter and the little girl at the end of the film also seem to be telling us
Only a simple-minded person can see the essence of a person
The little girl's position is to thank Jack for saving his life
She understands his kindness
But no one else in the society and around me can see this
Can a person make mistakes once they can't be corrected?
What he does now can represent who he is now
If you always use the past to judge a person
Then it's not his problem, it's your problem
You live in the past indifferent and even mean
Jack's last few phone calls were to the people who gave him warmth in
It's really distressing
He didn't tell his friends because he was afraid that would happen.
It turns out that it wasn't true
Otherwise, what a pity that Jack doesn't even have friends.
Jack only has the care and kindness from everyone in his heart
I don't care about everyone's meanness and incomprehension
He told Terry that what he was doing wasn't good enough
let him down
But you and I should know about these efforts Jack made
Much better and more positive than even someone with no criminal record like Terry's son
He works hard to make friends, works hard, and learns to love someone
When the world turns a blind eye to you
it could also be its fault
The film is based on the multi-award winning novel of the same name by Jonathan Terrigel
Guangxiu thinks Garfield's performance is very good
If the tears in his eyes make you feel
If that last jump of his makes you unbearable
We extracted Jack and Terry's son from the film to see
They are a group of people who cannot integrate well into society.
If you are the world's A, B, C and D
I hope you can accept them with an inclusive heart
If you were ABCD in the movie
Hope you can do better and live harder
Let the world take the initiative or have to accept you
At the end of the article, I want to tell everyone that Guangxiu has also started to write a public account hahaha
Hope you all like such a warm light xiu
Micro Signal: A beam of hot light xiu
OR xiuxiuxiu_light
There is still a lot of light in Guangxiu and I hope to share it with you who also need light
