Life itself is a deception, and when we struggle with this cycle of deception, we are a veritable matchstick man.
As far as the movie is concerned, the only complaint is that Frank's ending is unclear. Although Roy has a relatively good life, he also sees a signal of relief in his treatment of Angela, and Roy and Cathy also have a future life that they can look forward to, but what about the "bad guys", what will happen to the bad guys? Although we can't ask every movie to be the ending of "good guys defeat bad guys", the role of scammers has always been in our lives. We should see the plot of punishing evil and promoting good, and we should gain victory over life A rough hope. Perhaps many people in the West who believe in God believe that as long as they restrain themselves and are worthy of God, God will naturally help themselves and all living beings, and the bad guy should naturally end up as a bad guy.
As for the actors, Nicolas Cage is as good as ever, and he portrays a paranoid father incisively and vividly. Every action, every expression, and even the on-screen display caused by the character changes before and after is quite accurate.
Movies that describe individual characters, as long as they are not shoddy, can always be recognized by the audience, because although we live in the midst of all living beings, we are still only in contact with you, me and him around us, and what we can understand is only the individuality in the commonality. , maybe the one he or she in the movie, maybe the one around us.
