Weather is predictable, but life is unpredictable

Nicolas Cage's 2005 film. Here, you may not see the hot scenes you were familiar with before, but you can still see his melancholy eyes.

At the beginning of the film I see pieces of ice shards floating on the sea, I don't know what that means, but it looks beautiful.

David is a weather forecaster, as we know him, and he gestures in front of the green board every day as if there were actually a map there. What I didn't know though is that Americans love to throw things at other people, and it's fast food, usually milkshakes, cokes, sandwiches, hot apple pie from McDonald's, etc.

He's such an unlucky bastard, sometimes he gets recognized on the street, and then he throws all kinds of fast food, and he throws it right.

Not only that, he has an overweight daughter and a seriously ill father, and a wife who divorced him.

Some people say it's a midlife crisis, I don't think so, I think it's just an ordinary person's life, and the adult world is destined to be complicated.

His father said on his deathbed: In the shit life, you must chuck something.

Yes. We have to give up something.

So, even though his father left him and his wife married someone else, life had to go on.

When his son was molested by others, he did what a father should do.

Although the end of the film does not have the happy ending in Hollywood, he has a new beginning and a good job in New York. Still someone would recognize him, and he would give autographs. Someone asked him: Will it rain? He said: Who knows. Best of all, no one was throwing at him anymore, he said: maybe it was because he was carrying a bow and arrow.

I really like the realism of this movie, and I love watching him shoot arrows.

As someone said: the weather is predictable, but life is unpredictable.

No matter how hard you are, you can always change something.
