Kind people are not willing to show their bravery (a little spoiler)

Duncan is a sensitive, well-behaved and responsible little boy with a dull sense of responsibility. The most valuable thing is that he has a kind heart. This may be the character and performance of one of the few boys in adolescence, although there are some places. He was very dumb and confused. Who made him young? Who made him have such a family? Who made his mother choose such an asshole man.

Personally, I feel that his mother is more of a kind of helplessness. She is old and yellow, and may not have a stable income. She also brought a dazed son. It would be good to find a man willing to take their mother and son on vacation, even This man can only open one eye and close one eye for stealing. It is also possible that she said to her son: "I know you are 14 years old. You think you know everything, but you don't know some things." , With the feeling of helplessness in my eyes, when

I saw Steve, I thought of many people around me who were middle-aged, slightly accomplished but always arrogant and selfish, and promoted peace by belittling and restraining others. People who show off their worth and rights, regardless of men and women, are very common in big cities, especially in big cities. They freeze others in a box, but they secretly break the rules from time to time, and even do some shameful things. After the incident was revealed, I came back to defend myself without repentance, pretending to pretend to be a pitiful explanation, and then the next morning I had a serious face on the line, telling you that we started from the beginning, restart. Doesn't his so-called renewal of these things return to the state of hypocrites?

Compared to Steve, male characters like Sam Rockwell are rare in this society. Even if they can be encountered, they cannot be called successful recognition by the current social universal values, at least in big cities. For his character who is almost middle-aged, he has not been flattened by the society. He still acts his own way, openly flirting, and quarreling with his colleagues, including letting the fat black man rush down the three people stuck in the pipe. Dangerous things he will have no fear of what may happen. I think such a man, even if someone gets injured by letting the fat black man hit the card and manages the trio, he will jump out to take the responsibility of the magnanimous man. Looks like a lunatic, in fact, like Duncan, he is kind, sensitive, and responsible (caring for Duncan and his colleagues), but he is more crazy and casual, so people love him, Duncan loves him, so he Only what he called manipulating chrisma.

The neighbor girl is actually as sensitive and kind as Duncan, and she also has her own helplessness and loneliness; a neighbor kid with squinting eyes, Peter, has the potential to become Owen.

Finally, Duncan learned to be brave, proved and demonstrated himself with courage, and also courageously decided that he would never become the kind of hypocritical adult that we hate.
