common problems

The film is essentially a family film about how an estranged father and daughter find their relationship back.

The elderly father is already a legend in the industry, but he still insists on working and is worried that he will be eliminated; the daughter in her 30s has a good career development, but her relationship with her father is cold and her relationship is in jeopardy; The exploration career is in jeopardy.
The father in the film is stubborn and silent, and is not good at expressing his feelings to his daughter; this time, when he is in danger again, he isolates himself protectively because he does not want to involve his daughter. The difference is that now that the daughter has grown up, she took the initiative to approach her father and understand her father, and finally was able to change her father and herself, and the father and daughter regained their kinship.

This is a common story: a daughter who lacks love tries to please her stubborn and stubborn old father, and tries to regain the affection she lost as a child. In the end, both parties understand and accept each other, and they are happy. Although the story is not very innovative, the narrative of the whole film is smooth, the performance is in place, and the storytelling is exquisite. As a director's debut, it is not easy.

PS: I think there is a special design (slightly far-fetched) in the film, and I bring it up for everyone to discuss.
The pure symbolic meaning that the daughter heard the voice showed that she understood her father and reached a reconciliation with him.

    Eastwood is really old, and it seems that he doesn't have the energy to be a director. This time, he played a role that is very similar to his reality.

    Gus: Not so funny.

  • Johnny: Where'd you learn how to drink, uh, fancy single-malt Scotch out of the bottle? They teach you that at law school?
