The answer lies in silence
The Centennial Tavern seems to be a container that brings together all the hardships a person may encounter in his life. In the talking and listening tavern, there is a lot of dialogue to support the dramatic conflict, and the dialogue is passed between each character, but they never have a real dialogue, and every dialogue interruption or transfer is just for the next A topic, the previous question has not really been solved, it is like muttering to ourselves, because we only recognize the things we recognize, and no one can empathize with the situation of others. In the face of the truth, you can only sigh, can't tell, no one understands, and then just live in endless sorrow and pain. There is no relationship between family members that is not fragmented, and there is no generation where the values overlap to make up for the damage they have done to each other because of their inability to communicate. The area around Old Pete is typical of patriarchy. Old Halls imprisoned, beat and scolded his wife. Old Peters told the guests about his nephew wetting his pants for half a century. But the question is not about repairing each generation's relationship, but about how much pain each generation's habitual values will cause the other. Sylvia has been a necessary revolutionist from a young age: she sees the pub as a substitute for the corrupt values, the degenerate values of this sad pub - passed on like a curse in each generation. When Pete disappears, Halls finally wakes up from his silence, and he starts to explode and vent. Sylvia persuaded him to leave, and the candidate who came to apply was a cheerful, jumping elf-like woman, representing the American dream that Halls never took a step forward. She ordered a song for Halls from the jukebox: Paul Simon's "American Dream" (Louis C.K's favorite song in his life, Simon didn't ask him to pay for the copyright, and he recreated the show composition). Halls, who had given up on himself for half a century, finally woke up! At 49, he wants to get back on the road. Meanwhile, Pete pushes the door open - the homeless psychopath returns home and a true Easter miracle happens! But happiness is always short-lived. Pete didn't say a word and killed his brother with a knife. As you know - Halls can't talk anymore. In the Centennial Tavern, he will be silent forever.
In the Centennial Tavern, dialogue is useless, and the answer lies in silence.
