To Be Another Man

Katlyn 2022-04-23 07:03:33

This film Boy A is from the preference of light xiu Andrew Garfield / Andrew Garfield 's work

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
