long forgotten
the presence of a father
Nick Flynn (Paul Dano) is a young writer
He has lived with his single mother Judy (Julianne Moore) since childhood.
I have long forgotten my father
Although Nick has been looking forward to his father's return
but it seems
He also grew up with the help of his mother.
And the father, the character who never appeared
For many years, apart from letters, he has been admonishing him not to give up writing
Completely in vain
Until one day Nick suddenly got a call
Jonathan (Robert De Niro), who claims to be his father, was kicked out by his landlord
Ask him to borrow a car to move
half surprised half astonished
Looking at the down-and-out writer with all the luggage in front of me
He still can't take it
His years of disappearance and his sudden appearance
After a hurry, walk away "chic"
In his world there are only his unfinished masterpieces
A loving family without a father
"I'm afraid of falling into someone like you"
Nick works at an agency that takes in homeless people
so that he can slowly organize his thoughts and slowly find himself
He's adjusting to the people here and the jobs here
Also practice writing with a daily log that needs to be recorded
Seems like things are going well
No savings until the landlord evicted
Jonathan, who has been living on the streets
Overnight at a homeless shelter
It totally messed up Nick's life
Plus Jonathan doesn't follow the rules of the shelter
He argues with Nick
He is against the staff
even comforting himself
"It's just accumulating material for his masterpiece"
I think Nick's work in this shelter is also an observation of human life.
Jonathan uses his theory and perspective to understand the world
Nick just wants to stay away from him
Like being able to stay away from all the chaos of life
In fact, he is afraid
Afraid that if he continues to live like this, he will first become an addict
will one day
Become a "degenerate" person like your father
I'm the author of "Tell Your Life"
After missing for so many years
Jonathan as a down-and-out writer, an alcoholic
Completely subverted the father in his childhood impression
He always mentions Nick's mother
all the same rhetoric
It's hard to see his praise and nostalgia
Is it true
Or is it just a rhetoric of literary color?
But after a few moves
Still in a prominent position, the framed portrait
It makes people vaguely want to believe
The writer still has a love for his family deep in his heart
After Jonathan was kicked out of the shelter
Nick hears from time to time about his father's miserable condition
He finally decided to get him back
Two people who came back under the same roof did not have the expected quarrel
Two people have a sober conversation on the street in the early morning
Father repeatedly stressed that he was a great writer
Will write great work
And everything else is just an interlude to achieve this
The father who believed he was an artist left again
Fortunately,
when we visit each other again
Both came out in better shape
Father has a place to live
Nick has published his first book of poetry to professional acclaim
But the best must always come from the parents
Although this one is not very competent
The only right thing Jonathan has done in his life
Maybe it was Nick
make him a writer
express the world in words
See the world through the eyes of an artist
Jonathan didn't cheat Nick either
At least he's actually writing a book
Although the story is messy and the manuscript is scattered
At least it's not a pure excuse for his absence for years
Although he could not write outstanding works in his life
But it became Nick 's work to commemorate his life.
Age is an actor's precious treasure
Robert De Niro 's performance is deft and engaging
Talent is an actor's talent
Paul Dano 's performance is free and concise
The film doesn't talk too much about "love"
Only in Nick's last red eyes
Only in the arms of Jonathan receiving a newborn black blood relative
