Be gentle

Another favorite Robin movie, Williams' superb acting skills and matching the age of the character set the role of Nolan to be portrayed in three points. The whole process of watching the movie was a bit depressing. Nolan's character forbeared but had some enthusiasm. The stable life of decades was finally broken when he met Leo, and once the seeds buried in his heart were nourished, they would take root and sprout. It's just that after so many years of stability, it can be seen that Nolan is not a completely emotional person. The process of emotional sprouting is impulsive, and his own bottom line has always restrained him, and he tried to hide it for as long as possible. It's just that there is something in this world that can resist the forces that have grown inside. The final ending is very good, each character has found a "home."
