The greatest father in the world

Abigayle 2022-03-23 09:02:45

This is a bland to a bit boring movie. A father in a midlife crisis, a son in a rebellious youth, faces all kinds of disappointments in life. But these bland and boring plots combine to create a helpless reality.
Perhaps the greatest fatherly love in the world is that no matter how unreliable a son is, a father still regards him as a treasure and loves him with all his might. It's like the father's line at the end of the film: "Actually you don't like Kyle, neither do I, but I love him, he's my son."
The first half of the film made me cry hard on weekend mornings, The second half made me laugh and cry, but at the end, it turned abruptly and turned into an Americanized mainstream ideology, which eclipsed the overall effect. Although the father's love finds a new sustenance and makes the film warm and tender, the reality, entanglement and pain created in the first half have also disappeared.
PS: Robin Williams is indeed a great actor.

    In a dark comedy of great surprises, Robin Williams puts on a gorgeous solo show. The ending is more disappointing, it is better to let the story black to the end.

    The first half is like bob dylan singing life is hard, and the second half is life is ridiculous.
