I think gentle mercy between people is always better than God's blessing.
At the beginning of the story, the woman at the gas station showed mercy to the poor Mike and gained a simple love. This is the value of mercy, which lasts longer than all worldly love.
The woman has a boy, maybe out of loneliness, the boy always tries to get in touch with Mike at first, but the result is not ideal, there is a conflict between the boy and Mike
But as the story progressed, the boy gradually accepted Mike, because as the conflict deepened, Mike saw the little love in the family and gave up drinking for the sake of the family

On the way to find love, the other end The love is gone forever, it's easy for Mike to go back to that selfish period, but he didn't, he poured it all out

The whole film is fast-paced and uses a lot of music. These lyrics express the mood of the characters quite bluntly, and at the same time create a relaxed and loving atmosphere for the article.
Finally, I want to say that no matter how high we climb, we should never forget to extend a helping hand to help those in need, because this gentle mercy can wash people's hearts, and the effect is far better than God's blessing.
