The two lines of fiction and reality interweave a heartbreaking story. It turned out that the father on the fishing island of "Serenity" was just an escapist virtual game designed by his son Patrick, who pretended to be killed in the battle of Iraq. His father was still there, and the tuna named "Justice" that escaped again and again was the deepest bond between father and son. Every time he was beaten and insulted by his stepfather, Patrick hoped that the captain's father would come to save him. However, "Justice" escaped from his father again and again, just like a father in reality, who can never come back, like a salesman in a game, always appearing 20 seconds later, and Patrick can only continue to live in the haze of reality , hiding in the room and playing fishing games.
Anne Hathaway's mother is a wounded femme fatale. Her crying face and vicious heart reflect her son's love and hatred for her. She repeatedly begs Uncle Ma to help her kill her husband with love and money. He was rejected until he finally used his son's safety as a request to get Uncle Ma's help. This is also the reason why, in the real world, the son decided to fight back. Although he hated his mother's cowardice, he also sympathized with her experience. At the same time, he also needs to help his mother and her escape this terrible life, so all the conflicts, struggles, and decisions that he encounters on Plymouth Island are just Patrick's psychological journey when he decides to do justice.
At the end of the movie, Patrick called Dad and told him, "I always believed that there was a you and me somewhere else." I'm going to see you. We can go anywhere you want. And then he dashed away and fell into his father's arms, while Patrick, in real life, was arrested for murder, and all the goodness converged into a shard in his eye. It's a very nice movie, no matter if it's the plot, actors, or pictures. And contradictions make it more distressing. Recommended.
