The film does not give the answer, but it sheds light on the question.
The film always inadvertently gives us clues, such as why the father is not with the child, because the father is in prison, why the father finds a bank teller to be his wife, because it is involved in financial crimes.
Why is this father so irresponsible that he can abandon his children, his wife, his family, and then go back to his children.
Father is also gradually reflecting on his life.
He is always praising his wife, maybe he never praised her so well when his wife was alive again, which made him feel guilty; he
often wrote letters to his children in prison, hundreds of them, if you are a person who can abandon the family People who abandon their children and abandon their wives, will you still write to the children at home and tell them about their future goals?
Father and Flynn talked about the night his mother committed suicide, he said, the question is not whether to commit suicide, but why it took so long to kill herself. This sentence actually revealed that the guilt in the father's heart was very heavy. Because he knew that it was very difficult for him to leave his wife to work two jobs day and night and have a child after he left. Old Flynn knew that his wife could not bear such a life for a long time, but as a mother, she instinctively carried everything in the family, including the children. In the end, the mother finally chose to commit suicide because she accidentally saw something written by her child. She was sure that when her child had grown up and could face life alone, she knew that her mission had been completed.
I guess Old Flynn drank day and night and lived a life of ruin and guilt.
By the end of the film, the father said See? see? see? . . when.
It seems that he wants to tell his child that I once held you like this, before and now.
It turned out that the father never gave up on his child.
He didn't give up his expectations.
Maybe he just doesn't know how to face his child. He made a mistake and wanted to make it up, but he couldn't do it. This kind of conflicting and complex emotions intertwined, making the father more real. Yes, no one is perfect, let alone our father.
This clumsy fatherhood is comical but heavy.
