The feature film gave a more interesting ending.
A middle-aged man always fantasizes about something extraordinary happening to him in his immutable life, becoming a superhero and a traveler. But in the end, the enviable traveler left the final cover photo to this man who has been working silently behind the scenes for more than ten years. Thanks to his hard work and his true understanding of life, he helped the traveler present what he wanted to express.
Walter seemed to have changed himself through several journeys. He jumped into the ice sea in a helicopter driven by a drunk man, wrestled with sharks, rushed to the erupting volcano, and climbed the Himalayas. He did what he could only do in a daydream. But in fact, nothing has changed. He still returned to his mother and sister, returned to the city where he lived, and even used the piano left by his late father to his mother to survive the embarrassment of unemployment. But we can see that he is no longer the daydreamer. He confidently took the hand of the goddess and scolded the former boss in public. He didn't even buy the last issue of the magazine with his own cover. He said that he would buy it when he went back. I don’t think he would anymore. It’s like a traveler who waited for a long time on the snow mountain to see a snow leopard, but just watched it without pressing the shutter to record. There is always a moment that I want to enjoy by myself. No need to tell anyone, no audience, or even record it. Just enjoy the moment.
He no longer has to dream of becoming a superhero to save the world, and he no longer has to dream of becoming a traveler to travel the world.
He hugged his mother and sister tightly, he took the hand of the goddess, he patted his old friend's shoulder, he finally stopped dreaming, starting living.
