calm expression

From the beginning to the end, the expressions of the characters are not very sad or happy, they are all calm faces, at most one glances up; even if they are beaten, robbed and arrested along the way. Although the film is not long, it is a bit boring at first glance.
My favorite son. Finally, he calmly put down the phone, put on his jacket, carried an old suitcase, and went out without saying a word. It's pretty cool that a precocious child can mature to this level, isn't it?
In the end, I got rid of all kinds of troubles and succeeded. When the family took the boat to the big boat, the background music was over the rainbow, but I saw the night city in that scene, which was very ghostly.

It was called the Ascension, and it was the last ship that helped them escape from right and wrong to Mexico. When I didn't watch the movie, I thought it was the name of a rocket or a space shuttle. Later, near the end, the heroine picks up her son, and it starts to rain when they get out of the car door. At the time, I thought this scene felt right. And they accelerated toward the beginning of their new life with a rumbling thunder that sounded like a rocket was about to launch.
Although the ending is good, I don't know if it should be called a comedy.

  • Taisto Olavi Kasurinen: [Taisto is discussing with his cell-mate] Listen, Mikkonen!

    Mikkonen: I don't think I have a choice.

    Taisto Olavi Kasurinen: I'm thinking of getting out of here soon.

    Mikkonen: I see. How?

    Taisto Olavi Kasurinen: Don't know yet. Somehow.

    Mikkonen: Getting out is no big deal. Lots of guys have done it. But they were brought back and ended up doing twice as much time as before. They stayed around here, or went to Sweden, or headed to the nearest bar and got loaded. You've got to get further away, Italy or Africa, at least for awhile.

    Taisto Olavi Kasurinen: I've been thinking about Mexico or Brazil.

    Mikkonen: Even better. But that costs money. You think I haven't planned it all a hundred times? First, you need three grand for a passport, then ten more for the seamen to hide you in the cargo and to let you off somewhere around the equator. But it's dangerous. If the cargo starts to shift in a storm - Lots of guys have died that way. You gotta go underground until you get a passport and find the right ship.

    Taisto Olavi Kasurinen: How many years do you have left?

    Mikkonen: Eight, for manslaughter. But I'm innocent.

    Taisto Olavi Kasurinen: Are you?

    Mikkonen: At least in God's eyes. In a way, I did kill him, but the truth is I didn't. The result was the same: He died and I was sent here. All right, let's go, then. 37 now. Eight more would make me about 43, more or less. But I won't last three hours outside without killing somebody.
