In fact, at first I thought it was a movie similar to <21g> or . It was about the theme of family friendship and return. Obviously it was not. Katie’s death heralded this from the very beginning. It is by no means a comedy ending film. This film was completed in one go, with a very mature and round feeling. After watching it, I can only think about the theme of fate, but the director has no intention of deliberately revealing and explaining anything like "Big Man Has Great Wisdom". , The film is very calm, just describing the fact that "if i got into that car..." seems to be caused by an accidental event, but everyone's life trajectory is inevitable and cannot be changed.
Surprisingly, Sean Penn The performance of Jimmy seems to be better than in <21g>. The role of Jimmy has been fun for me for a long time, and there are many classics, such as his performance when Katie's body was found, and the natural mix of neighborhoods. Compared with <21g>, they are two completely different feelings.
Tim Robbins' performance is also amazing, but it seems that this kind of character is what he is good at, and there is a kind of embarrassing admiration.
In addition, it is worthwhile It is the end of the film that is deeply researched, and it also shows the director's soberness from the outside.The story ends in a day as usual, without the usual ending.
