When the children leave, the parents know that they don’t know much about the children.

I cried at the end.

It feels that the first half of the film is a bit long, and the decadent description of my father feels a bit superficial and weak. The resonance of his relationship with Quentin and the relationship of mutual redemption are relatively weak, so in the end when Dad took the guitar to the doughnut shop to find Quentin, I felt a little emotional in the scene. When he said the sentence "I thought it was Josh, but it was you" (can’t remember the original words, it’s almost what it meant), I also specifically paused, and I told my boyfriend, is there any kind of The feeling in front of the sweetheart confessed, "I thought it was my ex-girlfriend, no, but it was actually you!" This feeling.

I don’t know if it’s inadvertent, I feel that Josh is described in the whole article very, very little. Except for the first few scenes, I told my girlfriend Kate that he was sweet, and there is basically no direct description of his son, even at the end. When Sing Alone did not recall the scene of his son, did it mean that when the child left, the parents found that they knew little about the child, and when the child did something extraordinary, the parents didn’t know what happened? problem. And even if the parents want to communicate with them, the departure of the child makes many things a mystery.

When looking back at the movie again, my favorite clips are as follows:

1. The conversation between dad and the shopkeeper, because the shopkeeper is actually the only person of his age who knows about Josh and has had a conversation with his dad after his decadence. "i know what i read, but i dont know the story." I like this sentence.

I also like the final arrangement for my father, to trade a ship for a shop, and then I can go ashore in the second half of my life.

2. I really like the scene where my father cried when he went to school later and touched the victim's name. His son is also dead, but his name cannot appear on it.

3. Selena Gomez has three scenes in it. There are not many scenes, but they all have a sense of conflict-making. In the first act, she said that Josh was very sweet, but before and after that, the film did not describe Josh's second-person perspective. In the second act, after her father recovered a little bit hard, she, as a link between the past and the present, blamed her father on how he could perform Josh's music. The third act borrowed from her to tell how difficult it is for a person who must survive when such an incident occurs. People will forget, but they will not forget, so Josh will always be the cause of the shooting. Or, Kate will always be the "perverted" girlfriend, and his parents will always be the parents of the "monster".

Generally speaking, it is a very good film. I was wondering how William and his wife were both in this film and they weren’t the protagonists. At the end, I realized that they were the director.
