Three faulty people, bumping into each other, hit the road.
All the way to nervousness, hysteria, and reluctance to support them all the way, across the whole of California, to reach the magnificent blue seaside, their ailments have improved little by little, at least they can control their own destiny, and parents don’t have to worry too much. Travel really heals.
I thought that in the "Bridge of the Desert" rehabilitation center, long-term behavior modification treatment was needed, but after their tossing all the way, they gradually improved. It's kind of like a nightmare. Right and we regard it as an inspirational film, and we don't have to compare it with money.
The first is Vincent, who suffers from Tourette's disease. After his mother passed away, his condition became more and more serious. Dad Robert has been impatient with him, has his own political future in mind, is busy running for elections, and has a new beautiful girlfriend. The point is, wherever the son Vincent goes, he will embarrass the father. For example, in such a sacred place as a church, with solemn music, Vincent kept shouting indecent words such as "pastor obscene" while pulling his face, making Dad wish he could find a place to tug at him Get in together. What do you say about a son who is twitching at any time? Only sent to a rehabilitation center managed by Dr. Rose. Rose says he has no cure for the disease and can only manage it with behavioral therapy exercises.
In fact, the disease is really difficult to control. The so-called Tourette's syndrome, or "Tourette syndrome", is a disorder of the cranial nerves, and the muscles of the body will twitch involuntarily from time to time, often accompanied by cursing and spitting. After arriving at the center, Vincent was assigned to share a room with the wonderful Alex. The spotless Alex's white gloves never leave his hands, and he doesn't allow others to enter the house or move around. The typical obsessive-compulsive disorder of cleanliness makes Vincent unbearable. s apology.
Fortunately, Vincent met the extremely thin Mary, a super anorexic patient who was skinny and felt fat. He secretly hid food during meals and brought Vincent out to rebel. It made Vincent so happy before, which made him go back to the dormitory, and he didn't forget to stimulate Alex on purpose. Watching Alex go crazy like a monkey, he had a good time. Bundle.
More than that, simply do one thing and another endlessly. After learning that Vincent misses his mother and wants to go to the sea, Mary is really a super Mary. She stole Dr. Rose's car, dragged him out in the middle of the night and was about to drive away, but the good-hearted Alex actually caught up and had to drive him along.
Robert, who was busy in the final sprint, heard a call from Dr. Rose, saying that your son was missing. He was so angry that the boss reluctantly drove a big Benz to catch up. All the way to the female doctor Rose chattered, arguing constantly. And here Vincent and the obsessive-compulsive Alex are even more arguing. When it was Alex's turn to drive, he had to stop whenever he passed through big and small pits, pointing to the pits and saying that he had crushed people to death. How can such a coercive deterrence be achieved quickly? With only a few dollars in money, it is impossible to do anything.
Even more aggressive Robert rushed up, and as a last resort, Super Mary had to be in a hurry, and once again stole Robert on the road. Frustrated, Robert had to follow Rose's car. After sleeping, starlight and starvation along the way, Robert gradually became enlightened. He confided to Rose that his father was really unqualified, that he was too harsh on Vincent and failed to fully understand his son's thoughts. The son misses his mother, brings his mother's photos and ashes, and thinks of the places where she once traveled to pay tribute, what a pure wish. After speaking, Rose leaned lightly on his shoulder.
And the three troubled people, all the way through danger, climbed the magnificent mountains. Vincent and Mary's love also heated up. Alex, who took off his white gloves, was full of blood, and he was so jealous that he couldn't stand their affection, so he drove away without permission. When they found him, it was inevitable that there would be a fight, but fortunately, they wiped the wound and embarked on the final journey together.
It's just that Mary, who didn't eat or drink, fainted when she came to the beach. Fortunately, the treatment was timely, and when she woke up, she cried and begged Vincent not to leave. Vincent and his father were preparing to return together. Thinking about it, for Mary and for his own independence, he stayed after all. Dad had begun to trust him, that he would slowly get better. How could Alex be missing. The three live treasures get together again, and there will inevitably be a follow-up wonderful fight trick. It is often said that travel can cure diseases, which seems to be true.
Glenn Wells is based on the German film "Vincent Wants to Go to the Beach", which is basically a new one, showing American funny features. Road movies, or travel movies, generally make some jokes in order to increase the watchability of the movie. Clearly, The Great Way (2015) has its own idiosyncrasies.
The so-called "Extraordinary Road" is aimed at their special body and mind. Three sick people can go on the road, it is a mess in itself. If it thickens, it is a dead lump. Fortunately, Glenn Wells knows how to position and balance the roles of the characters, so that the conflict always Is it within the controllable range, and finally let the mud stick to the wall. The three characters are performed extremely well, especially the living treasures of Vincent and Alex, two diseases, different conditions, naturally have very different conflicting effects.
Because I am a psychologist, I pay special attention to films about psychological problems. In modern society, psychological construction is a problem that everyone needs to face. How to build a healthy balance between reality and mind, and achieve inner stability, to resist all kinds of temptations and resolve many kinds of disturbances, this really needs everyone to face up to, so as to find a vitamin suitable for their own spiritual construction.
