This well-received Spanish film revolves around various thrilling or warm stories that happened inside and outside the tunnel, and finally fuses together to detonate a climax. The whole film may have some critics in the plot, but it is still wonderful. Compared with the battle of wits and courage between the male protagonist and the gangster and the frightening moments in the tunnel, I personally feel that the changes in the relationship between the male and female protagonists and the little girl are more concerning. The warmth in the thriller is very exciting. Moving, their life trajectories and destiny have also become the most touching parts of the film.
From the beginning of the film, the audience can get a general understanding of the life background of the hero Joaquin. Books and electronic devices scattered everywhere mean that the man in the wheelchair is a well-educated IT guy. The lonely mansion where he lived also once lived with a happy family. Next, we can learn more about the family's past through the burnt-out vehicle and a few photos that the heroine saw.
It is not difficult to judge that this middle-class family that once owned a house, car and dog suffered a tragic car accident, resulting in the death of both mother and daughter, and the tragedy of Joaquin paralyzing both legs. Since then, the lonely and down-to-earth man has enclosed himself in a house with good memories, and spent all day with cigarettes, old dogs, and computers. In order to avoid the house being auctioned by the court because of the insolvent debt, Joaquin decided to rent the second floor.
The moment he opened the door, it was very much like the scene in which the hero opened the door and saw the pair of neighbors in the classic movie "The Devotion of Suspect X". Whether Joaquin likes it or not, his life is destined to change forever.
At first, Joaquin, who lived alone for a long time, was not used to the arrival of the female tenant. However, the enthusiasm and kindness of the other party soon eliminated the gap between them. At this time, something of great significance to him happened. The daughter of the female tenant, Betty, a silent six-year-old girl, develops a close bond with Joaquin's old dog he is about to euthanize.
When she saw her pet pet, who had not stood up for a long time, stood up slowly, and the little girl rushed to the dog and held it in her arms despite her mother's dissuasion, there was no doubt that the scene in front of her inevitably made Joaquin Reminds me of my dead daughter. He was so emotional that he couldn't bear to watch any more. He tried desperately to hold back his tears, but he finally broke down and covered his face and wept.
This bitter cry is a release of his long-suppressed emotions and a mourning for the sad past. After crying, the soft and warm things hidden deep inside him were reactivated.
This relationship and emotional change is very important. Perhaps from this moment on, Joaquin was determined to do his best to love the little girl. He talked to her, played with her, and let her move into the untouched room where his daughter lived. The little girl and him The dead daughter gradually merged into one without knowing it. Therefore, when Joaquin found out that the heroine turned out to be the girlfriend of the gang leader, he had no reason to call the police, except for the contempt of the gang leader when he said he was a cripple, which aroused the fighting spirit of Joaquin, who was already ashes. Another is that he thought of Betty, and he didn't want her to lose her mother. Moreover, he concluded that the heroine was not a heinous bad person. Although he knew the reason why the other party was so courteous to him, in the process of getting along with her, he could see the natural maternal love she showed to Betty, which was impossible to pretend. of.
The relationship between Joaquin and Betty became closer after Betty strayed into the tunnel, and the hellish torment largely made him re-experience the fear and powerlessness of losing his daughter. Fortunately, Betty escaped in the end, and Joaquin hugged Betty tightly at the exit, kissing her cheek recklessly, just like a father-daughter relationship.
The relationship between Joaquin and the heroine is also gradually changing. After Joaquin presented the monitored and filmed content to the heroine one by one, she not only saw the true face of her boyfriend, but also knew the reason behind her daughter's refusal to speak. She gradually developed trust in Joaquin with great pain and remorse. Joaquin sympathized with her experience and was determined to help protect their mother and daughter. In fact, the heroine already has a good impression of Hua Jin. In the face of the iron-clad facts, she has already stood with Hua Jin emotionally, but they have not yet reached complete trust and consensus with each other. The scene of the fight in the bedroom is the outbreak of their contradictions, and it is also a mutual confession. However, what Joaquin wanted was to protect their mother and daughter, and what she wanted was to protect her daughter.
It is not difficult to see that Hua Jin is a warm man who loves his family, dogs and computers. Living in the middle class, he has never had any intersection with gang crimes. Therefore, the bloody scene on the other side of the screen made him dare not directly. However, when the plan changed and a gangster was trapped in the water of the tunnel, he struggled so hard that he reached out his hand to save people in an instant. Although rationality finally made him withdraw his hand, he felt sad and blamed himself for it. . It can be said that it is this kind of warm male physique that makes him gradually trusted and fell in love with the heroine mother and daughter, and at the same time allows him to accept and protect each other.
In the end, after a bloody scuffle, the three hugged quietly for a long time, they got nothing but a lot. In the test of good and evil, life and death, they each found their original true self, and completed the redemption of fate. These can only be realized by loving and being loved, and they are also the most precious wealth in life.
At the end of the film, the three people are ready to move out of this disparate house. Joaquin can finally bid farewell to the past, form a new family, and start a new life. The little girl who still didn't speak quietly took Joaquin's hand, and Joaquin held her little hand tightly.
The story ends here. Take it easy and give a brief summary of the central idea.
This story tells us:
1. Don't underestimate the high-energy science male. Even if his legs are paralyzed, his super hands-on ability and active brain cells can kill a group of able-bodied people every minute.
Second, single mothers must be cautious when looking for a boyfriend. If they accidentally find the wrong person, they will not only harm themselves, but also their children, especially girls. Remember, as long as a man is educated and talented, even in a wheelchair, he is a thousand times more reliable than those bastards who have a bad mind and are full of blood and violence.
3. Finally, remember to tell your children: Anyone who tells you to keep a secret and can't tell your mother is a badass, even if that person is your mother's partner.
