The film seems to be telling the story of an ordinary young Jeff who was accidentally affected by a terrorist attack, lost his legs and lost the meaning of life, so he mustered up the courage to stand up again, but in fact, before Jeff lost his legs, he also He never stood up. Dating with a girlfriend is not about putting his girlfriend’s pigeons or being late, almost never showing up, making mistakes at work, and not wanting to make up for it. Instead, let others wipe his butt and just watch the football game! Such a 28-year-old young man who has no responsibility and no sense of responsibility, has he really stood up?
Yes, psychologically, he has never stood up, just as his girlfriend Irene said when he broke up with him again after he lost his legs, he was still a child at all, and he never dared to want what he wanted. He told his mother that just letting his mother dictate his life, he would just mess around all day long. When something happened, he would only think of escape instead of facing it bravely, so after losing his legs, he Not thinking about how to train so that I can stand up and walk again, but I have been messing around with my friends!
Jeff did go to the marathon for Irene, so he lost his legs, but is Irene to blame? In a relationship, two people are always equal, you love me. So I believe that after Jeff lost her legs, Irene did not return to him because of guilt, but really loved him! If Irene feels guilty for Jeff's loss of refreshment, and if Jeff thinks Irene is to blame for losing his legs, then this relationship is dead before it even begins! I would rather believe that they had been breaking up before, and it was a normal slapstick for couples. Now they finally realize that Jeff has lost his legs and they are no longer eligible for slapstick.
After Jeff lost his legs, he survived among the victims and assisted the police to find the gangster who committed the terrorist attack. Therefore, he was named "Boston Strong" by the masses. He fought against his life, although he lost both legs. , But survived. He fought against the evil. Although the attack was chaotic, he still remembered the gangster and helped the police catch the gangster. He became synonymous with strong, and his name was strong! But all this is only in the eyes of outsiders like us. In the eyes of those of us who eat melons, he is synonymous with strong, but in fact, his "Boston strong" is not strong.
No matter how strong he is, he is a normal person, not a god, how could he not be vulnerable? When the bandages on his legs were removed, he would cry so much pain that he wanted his girlfriend to accompany him to face the pain; after losing his legs, he even had to take a bath and had his girlfriend hug her to the bathroom, the shower curtain It is his last thin layer of dignity in front of his girlfriend; when he gets up, he will fall off the bed and fall to the ground because of carelessness; when he goes to the toilet, he will become dirty because of inconvenience; After waving the flag on the game field and returning to the elevator, you will doubt yourself and deny yourself; even having sex with the one you love the most, you can only change from being madly active to sadly passive; he should have hugged him from behind Girlfriend, to be the support of his girlfriend, but now he can only rely on his girlfriend's arms...
In front of us outsiders, he is always a symbol of strong clothes, surrounded by people, a strong Boston with a smile and thumbs up, and an idol who is waving a flag in a stadium for thousands of people and inspiring thousands of people. But behind him, he is a handicapped man with inconvenient mobility! We all hope that he is a symbol of strength. We don’t allow him to make any fragile actions, don’t allow him to make mistakes, don’t allow him to say no, but surrounded by flowers and gifts, his heart has already collapsed, but everyone is not. Allow him to collapse, and he has been pretending to be so strong all the time.
Because of the confusion and collapse in his heart, he mingled with his brothers all day and drunk himself in alcohol; he also drove frantically on the road and was chased by the police on the road; he quarreled with others and friends in the bar. Fight with each other together; refuse to take medicine actively, do not go for rehabilitation on time... He has already given up on his own life. If he hadn't really stood up before he lost his legs, then now, he is completely limp on the ground and can't get up. He has lost all confidence in the future and tomorrow, just messing around!
When Irene told him that she was pregnant, what he thought was that he couldn't chase his child, couldn't play with the child, not how to make himself stand up, yes, he has been running away, never facing himself. Even if he loses his legs, he is still the 28-year-old young man who was immature and unaccountable before, or in other words, he has been in a wheelchair psychologically since the beginning! This kind of him, no girl dare to be with him, Irene broke up with him again and again, but hoped that he could eat a little bit more cooked, and no longer be such a bastard!
Actually, the only people who really love him are Irene, his mother and other relatives and friends. They all want him to be a star and let their faces shine. Just like many parents now urge their children to marry, they don’t want them to be true. Get happiness, but don't want to lose face in front of relatives and friends because your children are not married! Let them get married early, no matter what kind of cat or dog the other party is, whether or not they can give their children happiness, it is just so that they can have the capital to show off. Look, how good our children are, they are already married. Those people just kidnapped Jeff with honor, and never asked him, whether he was happy or not, and he was not tired! Only Irene, all the hardships and difficulties are suffered by Irene! And he has to be criticized by his mother all the time!
It wasn't until Irene left him again that he heard Carlos's story about the loss of his two sons, and he finally felt how lucky he was to be alive. He should cherish life and live well instead of giving up on himself and messing around all day long. , So he began to actively recover, hoping to stand up soon. Although he has lost his legs, he can still run after his children in the future, and he can proudly say to the children, look, even though Dad has lost his legs, he can still stand up. He trains actively and throws a perfect serve on the sports field. At that moment, he really stood up, physically and psychologically, he stood up completely.
The ball that was sent was his counterattack against fate! Destiny, destiny, didn't you let me lose my legs? I can still stand up. You hope that I will be stunned, and I will give up on my own life from now on. I just want to live a more exciting life! He finally stood up, retrieved Irene, and began to face life positively. The real photo at the end of the film with subtitles says that they gave birth to their child soon, and the child symbolizes the rebirth of their lives. And that sentence three years later, Irene finally completed the marathon that was not completed that year, and Jeff was waiting for her at the finish line, which made people cry!
It’s hard to say whether the terrorist attack was unfortunate or lucky for Jeff. Unfortunately, he lost his legs and has been inconvenient and very unbearable. Fortunately, he finally got up psychologically and learned to cherish himself. s life. "Boston Strong" Jeff was also strong in the eyes of others from the very beginning. Only he knew that he was actually very fragile and helpless. I have ridden myself from that sad experience again and again, and used my own pain to inspire countless people who are experiencing difficult times like him are really strong!
On the whole, starting from the real and painful struggle and experience behind a character, he portrays his inner strength step by step. On the whole, it is quite satisfactory and there are no big surprises. Fortunately, the emotions are delicate and very real.
