After reading it, I checked the information and found out that this is the famous Bill Murray, who has acted in "Lost in Translation" and "Garfield".
This is a video about finding themes. What to look for? His youth and love, but along the way, in addition to exhaustion, there is only embarrassment: whether it is himself or his former lover.
I thought the ending might return to the protagonist's rediscovery of love and family, but the director braked at the last moment and made a joke to the protagonist and the audience: he still hasn't figured out where the pink letter came from , it seems that everyone is possible, and the son who even the audience must agree with was scared by Tang and fled, leaving him standing there dumbfounded. The ending is mired in uncertainty and skepticism.
There are many props in the film that are well used, such as the color pink, which leads the storyline to develop downward, and in each paragraph, it will appear at the right time, allowing people to make their own understanding of what they think is correct. In fact, this is a kind of "psychological button", which is an indispensable means for detective films, and this film also has a detective and suspenseful nature to some extent (the black neighbor who is fascinated by detectives encourages Tang to investigate the source of the letter). Another item to use wisely is Tang's sportswear. Attentive viewers will find out why the protagonist likes to wear sports clothes so much? Except on the way to travel, Tang always wears sports clothes at home, although the color has changed. It turned out to be because Tang, who was confused at the end, thought that the boy in the sportswear he met at the airport was his son, and he further confirmed his idea in the conversation between the two. But he didn't expect the boy to be scared away by his initiative to recognize his child, and then a car drove by in front of him, and a boy in the same sports suit stuck his head out and looked at him inexplicably, which made Tang completely confused, The film ends abruptly here. There seems to be endless sarcasm left for Don and the audience to think they reasoned correctly.
I wonder if the deeper meaning contained in this film can be understood as this skepticism and the uncertainty of truth? Like Antonioni's "Zoom," except that the reflection of the facts is presented in a more "certain" photograph. But in the end, the protagonist looked at the group of young men and women who were playing tennis that did not exist, and fell into a deep doubt about himself and the truth.
