The cat-and-mouse chasing relationship between F and C is naturally a major attraction of the film, but Frank's contradiction and the deep bond between the two make me even more memorable.
At the beginning of the film, C was visiting F. Just when I felt that the relationship between the two of them seemed to be better than the relationship between the police and the robber, F's childhood opened to me. What impressed me the most was that the slightly shy Frank applauded his father solemnly.
Before the age of 16, F lived a carefree life, a solid family, a good education, and his father's sassy and heroic dancing gestures made him unforgettable. But this is because he got used to this kind of life. Facing the family relocation after this, his father was frustrated, his mother had an affair until the final divorce, Frank went from being afraid and unacceptable to escaping from reality.
As C said, he is just a child. The starting point of everything is because of the fact that he childishly avoided the divorce of his parents.
With his keen mind and the smoothness he learned from his father, F moved to various railway stations, exchanged cash, "breaked into" Pan America, and flew to various continents. Even so, the innocent heart under F's superhuman resilience has not changed.
When he heard the newspaper comment that he was 007 in the air, his eyes became full of longing, and he went to the theater to watch it and then purchased the whole set of equipment;
when opening a room with a celebrity, he was like a child in the face of various questions and flirting with the celebrity. Feeling overwhelmed, his face clearly wrote to take a step to watch one.
This kind of innocence is also reflected in his dependence on his parents. Although not materially, he always believes that his mother will return to his father, and he always believes that he can return to the previous happy home of three,
such as every time he and When the father met, he would ask him if he had a new connection with his mother;
he stayed where his mother used to live when he hid in France; after
learning of his father’s death and the happy family of his mother, he didn’t even have the idea of fleeing, he hid. In the car, I dare not want to face my mother directly.
The truth must be concealed everywhere
His loneliness was also revealed between his eyebrows when he saw Brenda’s parents dancing, between every Christmas and C’s fairy tales. The ironiest thing was that F told C the real room number, which was enough to see his situation.
So far, the witty and charming, but with the immature, evasive Frank image has become fuller. His escape career began with evasion and ended with evasion.
For C, Frank may not take him seriously at the beginning, but from the beginning to the end, he is close to C.
He is just tired, he needs to find someone to tell the truth, he needs to settle down.
He regarded C as a friend. He discussed and said to C that he needed to settle down when he was getting married, so he asked him not to chase after him, although this was decisively rejected by C.
Towards the end, he kept asking why he lied to him on the way, lied that his daughter was only 4 years old and lied to him to visit her on weekends.
C’s answer is
“sometimes or in a lie, it’s easier”.
This sentence is not only C’s explanation of his behavior, but also an exhortation to F. It advises F not to live in a circle of lies and persuade F to give up that one. Wrong path.
Finally, F returned to the FBI office that panicked him and returned to his imperfect reality.
This time, he chose to face it.
At this time, the lens was zoomed out, and the screen began to write F's subsequent contributions.
Catch me if you can. Frank finally stood there, facing the cold handcuffs? No no, it's a new life.
