Finally, there was a rain of frogs in the confession of several roles, which made me understand what the director wanted to express. In retrospect, all the details are so essential to the main theme.
Linda Partridge (the young wife who will die of the old man), throughout the film, has always been nervous and easy to go crazy. When I finally saw the lawyer, he asked to change the old man’s will not to ask for more money, but to not want money. . She felt that the countless derailments of the old man carrying the old man before and falling in love with the old man afterwards made her bear too much guilt and pain. The death of the old man left her all the property that only deepened her pain.
Earl Partridge (the dying old man mentioned in the previous paragraph), had cancer and was deceived by his wife for so many years without knowing it, so he should be said to be miserable. He is indeed miserable, but not because of his current wife's derailment, not because of the pain caused by his cancer, but because he abandoned his first love Lily and his only son Frank TJ Mackey (Tom Cruise) in his youth. When he was about to die, he said that he was actually in love with Lily. He was cheating again and again due to the romance of his youth. Lily forgave him. He finally abandoned Lily when Lily had cancer. When I was young, I thought this was romantic and this was what a man should do, but when he was about to die, he said that for so many years, only regret and pain were left. "Those are platitudes, but they are all true." Is it all coincidence to see what he did to Lily, and then to see what his young wife did?
Frank TJ Mackey (played by Tom Cruise, the son of the old man in the last paragraph), a male expert, teaches men how to seduce and control women on TV, in books, and in lectures every day. He wants to teach all men to be male animals. Posture. He also fabricated his past, saying that his father is dead and his mother is retired. He knew well how his mother loved his father, and knew that his mother was still waiting for his father's call when she was in the most painful time before death. I don't know if this is to avenge a man like my father who intends to push all men into the abyss until they grow old, leaving them in a state of regret, or whether they hate women like their mother who deserve to be so loyal to men, or they can only die in pain. … At the end of the film, he was sitting in front of his father's bed crying and cursing a series of swear words, which made me really unbearable to watch. Abandoned by his father when he was a child, a child took care of his seriously ill mother. In the end, the mother died and the neighbors had to take care of the grown-ups. After he grew up, he took the responsibility of teaching bad men. He has finally made it to the top, is he happy when he gets so much applause? He is also very painful.
There is an old star Jimmy Gator on TV who has hosted shows for more than 30 years. He also has cancer. The doctor said only 2 months are left. He loves his wife, but he has been derailed repeatedly over the years. When he returned home from the broadcast room, he was lying on the sofa due to exhaustion and decided to confess to his wife completely before he died. He has been suffering for half of his life, guilt after derailment, and his daughter ran away from home 10 years ago and has been reluctant to talk to him. As for her daughter, is she in a rebellious period when she takes drugs and fucks? No, I finally realized that when I was a child, I was "probably" sexually assaulted by my father. Jimmy Gator was weak on the sofa. When he needed his wife's company the most, his wife loved the bridge section where he forgave him for derailment, but when he heard about his daughter's bridge section, he finally left home with anger, leaving Jimmy alone at home.
... To make a long story short, may Jimmy's daughter deliberately ruin herself, take drugs, mess around, and be happy because of her hatred for her father? She was also distressed. After meeting Officer Jim Kurring, the object of love at first sight, she had to leave Jim because of her drug addiction.
Donnie Smith, a genius boy in the 1960s, became a salesperson of a very boring electrical appliance shop in the 21st century. Does his genius help him? Can you blame your parents for the situation when you grow up? Who is to blame for stealing the money from the store in the end?
...My comment seems too long. In short, people don’t just do what they want. You have to do well, be good, lying, taking drugs, blaming others, cheating, etc., which can only leave regret and pain in your heart and linger.
ps, the director probably understands the truth of God in the Bible. The bizarre coincidences in the opening and the rain of frogs are to warn everyone that since God can arrange so many coincidences, the final punishment is even impossible.
Attached is a song that everyone sang at the end:
It's not / What you thought / When you first began it / You got / What you want / Now you can hardly stand it though / By now you know / It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop / It's not going to stop /'Til you wise up
You're sure / There's a cure / And you have finally found it
You think / One drink / Will shrink you'til you're underground / And living down / But it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It'
Prepare a list for what you need / Before you sign away the deed /'Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop / It's not going to stop /'Til you wise up / No, it's not going to stop /'Til you wise up / No, it's not going to stop
So just... give up
