From this point of view, the story setting of the jacket is nothing new, but due to Adrien Brody's sad, delicate and compassionate performance skills, the original The film took it to a level.
Even though I have experienced all the sins, I still choose great love. Having watched countless movies and performances, I think that only Adrien Brody can interpret this fear, pain, helplessness, and great love so vividly and naturally.
The events in the film can be divided into three segments: the battlefield, helping others and the mental hospital.
In the first paragraph
, in the smoke-filled battlefield, Jack lends a helping hand to a terrified child, only to be shot in the head by a bullet. Jack was rescued in a field hospital full of wounded, but was left with amnesia.
In the second
part of Jack's backpacking trip back to normal life, the mother and daughter encountered a car breakdown on the road. Jack once again extended a helping hand to help. Although it was not reported, he met the little girl Jackie who brought him a bright color.
The third
scene is directly transferred to the psychiatric hospital by hitchhiking, because Jack is suspected of shooting a police officer, and Jack cannot tell the incident due to amnesia, and is mistaken for the murderer. The treatment method in the hospital was to put on a jacket and be sent to the mortuary cell. In the dark cell, Jack spent the most miserable time. He began to recall the fragments of his previous memories. The driver who shot the policeman was his hitchhiker. ......
Gradually, Jack, who entered the cubicle, has the ability to go to the future and meets Jackie who has grown up. Jack knew the specific time of his death. With Jackie's help, he hoped to find clues to save himself. During the process of self-help, Jack still did not forget to help the people around him, including the doctor who experimented with him. Most importantly, he helped his beloved girl, Jackie. Although Jackie no longer knew him after the scene changed, seeing Jackie who lived a happy life and was accompanied by his mother, a gratified smile appeared on Jack's face. He died without regret.
From beginning to end, Jack in the movie opened his eyes of horror and sadness, endured inhuman torture, until at the last moment of his death, looking at Jackie who got rid of his hard life, he finally had a knowing smile, although this smile Jackie didn't know that only he knew.
