The movie started with the birth of the protagonist Nolan’s wife Abigail. Unfortunately, Abigail died during the birth. When Nolan squatted on the floor and sobbed and shoved the doctor, what I saw was the helplessness in Nolan’s eyes. Nolan may not be. A cowardly person, but such bad news is enough to overwhelm a man, and the plot that gradually unfolded began to become Paul's one-man show, or a two-person show between Paul and a baby. One-man acting is often the most test of acting skills, and Paul, this desperate, helpless, but always persevering father interprets it vividly. Nolan's admiration is not because of how powerful he is, but because he has never given up. , Has been insisting, has been fighting with himself, for his daughter.
There is a detail in the film. Nolan looked at his daughter and said: "If I can, I would rather exchange you for Abigail." At this time, Nolan didn't realize the importance of this baby to him, but he couldn't Without facing the fact that people cannot be resurrected from death, to a certain extent, this baby is Abigail's spiritual existence and Nolan's salvation. It is the salvation that Nolan can complete by fighting against himself.
Nolan loves Abigail, loves madly, and loves heroically. When Nolan realizes that this baby is actually Abigail’s spiritual existence, Nolan starts desperately to save the baby, because only by redeeming himself can he become a qualified father. Otherwise, Nolan will never be a perfect father, because he loves Abigail too much, and his good husband is more than his good father. The birth of this baby is the salvation for him to be a good father and part of his own good husband. Part of the struggle with his own good father, Nolan is contradictory, so to speak, he is also exploring another self in this movie.
Nolan had the help of a respirator from the beginning, until the respirator was out of power, to the hand-cranked charging, and the battery was gradually reduced, to the ambulance passing by the rescue, and then to the helicopter, and Nolan was on the balcony. Completely collapse, and then inject adrenaline into himself, relentlessly kill the invaders, Nolan is also constantly evolving, Nolan is also constantly fighting, the more he collapses, the more he explores the part of his good father, and the film The previous scenes with his wife interspersed with each other are the side of his good husband, the exchange of the two parts appears in Abigail's illusion, and the two sides of Nolan begin to have a head-on confrontation.
"I didn't even ask why I did this. I just have to do it. I keep turning this generator, and then I check my baby. If my arm can still move, I will keep turning that thing. To death."
"I know. You are really stubborn enough, that's one of the reasons I love you."
"I can't accept it."
"Accept what, my dear?"
"This, all of this, why is it so? Things shouldn’t be like this."
"I know, but sometimes you can only endure as much as you can."
"I can be a good husband, but I can't be a good father."
"You can, dear. You can't remember Remember Marc's birthday party?"
"I remember."
"We were hanging out in the parking lot. We originally planned to go to the diving bar next to it. You didn't let me go because you said I still have work the next day. You let me go to bed and go to bed."
"Yeah, you are all angry ." a. " "
Yes ah, but really, I kinda like that feeling, because I knew that moment, you will become a great dad. " "
but I need you, you know? you do not I can't do it."
"You have me, I have always been there, you are not alone, Nolan, she is the crystallization of the two of us."
At that moment, Nolan got rid of the bondage of a good husband and a good father. , Because he understood, he added all the love of a good husband to the side of a good father. From this moment on, Nolan has a wholehearted love for the baby, including the love for Abigail and also entered the love for the baby, Nolan After completing his struggle and becoming a good father, Nolan also completed his own salvation. Finally, when Nolan is exhausted and lying on the hospital bed bathed in the Holy Light, when he hears the baby’s first cry, he will find that he is a good father, as Abigail said: “I realized then, what an amazing father you would be."
