I hope you can all watch this movie. This is the only one I have watched carefully twice in a row and watched it again.
My mother worked as a hand model but left very early. Father Charlie was admitted to a mental hospital, so the heroine Miranda had to drop out of school and start working when she was fourteen. The story is deliberately easy to say, but it itself is so heavy. When Miranda was about to be 17 years old, Charlie was discharged from the hospital. He read a few centuries-old novels in the hospital and firmly believed that there were a number of treasures nearby. He didn't care about the current family situation and started the treasure hunting journey arbitrarily.
Miranda was just a little girl who worked hard to make money at McDonald's. She drove a dilapidated second-hand car and lived in a shaky building with peeling walls, but she still endured Charlie's crazy actions. She said that when people grow up, sometimes they don’t trust their parents anymore, but they still want to be with their parents-maybe because Charlie is a patient, so when she thinks about this, she always forgives Charlie for treating those The "unnecessary" treasure craze. She followed Charlie to all the places that Charlie thought was on the trajectory of the treasure, saw the beautiful natural scenery, and enjoyed the warm family atmosphere. Gradually, she began to accept Charlie's behavior and was so happy-she was enjoying nature. beauty of. Standing in the irrigated field, wearing a raincoat, watching his father digging, smiled so sweetly. Even when Charlie rented an excavator to break the ground, she was happily on the lookout — I thought the story was like this — Charlie deliberately showed her around to make up for her daughter’s happiness, but the director is not that simple . After all, Charlie discovered some fragments of 17th-century artifacts, sometimes an ancient coin, sometimes a fine porcelain fragment. . . Things get complicated. My daughter understands that Charlie’s treasure hunt can’t be stopped. The project is getting bigger and bigger. It’s not that she can understand and tolerate only by love. Even though she knows Charlie’s pain, she has saved Charlie who hangs. Charlie detected (rather than guessed) that the treasure was located in the underground of a large supermarket. She sold her car in order to buy treasure hunting equipment. She finally dismantled Charlie’s lies and fantasies, quarreled with him, and then went crazy for several days. Buy back her broken car.
When she returned home, she saw the drunken Charlie lying on a bench in the porch waiting for her to go home. Charlie sold his beloved cello and redeemed Miranda’s car. It’s not right, if it’s not for the original soundtrack, you don’t understand why and what’s going on). Miranda relented and decided to accommodate Charlie and fulfill his wish.
Charlie finally dug up the ground. Miranda tried to stop him when he was about to go into the water, because she was worried about Charlie's safety and knew that everything was just fantasy. Charlie still went. When the police entered the hypermarket and searched, Miranda unexpectedly fell into a coma and was tied up by Charlie. Charlie asked Miranda to say that she did so by intimidation by herself. After a series of mysterious carrying actions, Charlie wore a diving suit and jumped into the excavated groundwater vein and disappeared. When the police hurriedly chased him, they stepped on the cave entrance. . . We understand that Charlie will never come up again.
Miranda came to the supermarket the next day, and the workers were mending the hole. She bought the appliances that Charlie hinted at before he finally jumped into the water hole. When she opened the lid, the golden light inside illuminated her face. Miranda smiled with tears. In the narration of the film, the picture shows the moment when she was tied up. She said that if she was not tied up, she would jump down with her father. She looked at Charlie's back and finally called Dad. . .
I almost watched the whole film in tears all the time. The dreams and love described in the film are so difficult. Miranda was fascinated by the dishwasher in the supermarket and appeared twice. She looked at the jet of water, the flickering lights and the rotating bracket in a daze, her eyes revealing boundless desire. In fact, the dishwasher represents her dream. She is unwilling to do things that she shouldn't have done. Dropping out of school to work, cooking for the madman Charlie, washing piles of dirty dishes. . . Even at the moment when she was watching for Charlie, she still fiddled with the switch of the dishwasher obsessively. In the dark supermarket, the automatic dishwasher rumblingly operated, the trickling water slowly under the endless light. Swiping across the transparent casing of the dishwasher, Miranda looked at it and stroked it with such fascination. Perhaps in her opinion, the dishwasher seems to represent the ability to wash away the misfortune and despair in her life. . .
Outside the supermarket, an old friend of Charlie—they used to form a band together, Charlie was a cellist, and that old friend played the saxophone—in order to cover Charlie and his daughter who were about to be discovered, they drove on a motorcycle and drove the police away. He seemed to believe Charlie's secret about the treasure. He slowly drove the motorcycle, and more and more police cars were behind him, eventually subduing him. . . His expression was happy and decisive, and I thought of a little secret of the lowest-level people. . . They also have beautiful dreams and desire for a happy life.
And Charlie, at the end of the film, he walked through the long stream and found the secret entrance to the treasure. The place was too small. He threw away the oxygen tank and swam towards the front of happiness, towards the place he thought could bring happiness to his daughter. He couldn't bear to watch his daughter work hard, and he couldn't bear her daughter dropping out of school, so he The dream of treasure hunting began to sprout, and it became more and more serious. He finally found the treasure, and in order to preserve his daughter's happy life, he decided to die. A lunatic father uses his own way to love his children.
My father's love moved me. In the film, the father and daughter accommodated each other, and the behavior of abandoning themselves for each other moved me even more. I know what the director wanted to say is not this. At the very end, a group of smugglers landed on the beach. They asked Miranda if it was a California beach. Miranda said, yes, you are welcome.
All people have dreams, and all dreams will bloom. Everyone has the right to chase their dreams. When that dream is to create for others, that dream is especially valuable. Regardless of whether Charlie found the treasure, no matter what Miranda saw after opening the box, we should still know that everyone is looking for hope.
