Gift from Heaven

To be honest I don't think the truth is very cruel, after all Roy's previous life was a complete mess. Aside from a lot of money, a spotless but cold home, the anxiety of being outdoors, nervousness anytime, anywhere, a condition that cannot be controlled without medicine, a dog full of guns hidden in it, when Angela knocked on the door, he quickly entered On alert, because no one will knock on his door except Frank, and there must be enemies or police.
He acquiesced to Angela's mother's evaluation, because he felt that it was undoubtedly himself.
He didn't even have the courage to make a phone call.
When Angela appeared, he recognized her without hesitation, without even the slightest hesitation to suspect that, as a liar, he was already too lonely under the appearance of rejecting the crowd.
But a real child can't get close to him.
Because the real child will have resentment, and he cannot bear it.
Only a liar would work tirelessly on you like that, asking for anything and everything.

That house was his fortress and his shackles.
He can't take that step by himself. In the chaotic sea of ​​life, the only thing that can be grasped is the driftwood that saves people from water and fire, although this driftwood is mostly useless in most cases.
Then God sent Angela, and then God took all his money.
Skin and bones, start all over again.
The sixteenth tower in the tarot card is an interesting card, and at times even more annoying than the thirteenth death, because death only means the end, and the tower means collapse.
Everything that was built in the past collapsed, revealing the long-shrouded sky, and only the bravest can see the stars above the ruins.

God's gifts are not always gentle and kind.
But it's worth it after all.

    No one's life can be avoided without falling into a scam, because no one can avoid love. All life has a false lie side, the difference is whether we actively expose, passively expose, or never expose, and we are in peace; but even if the falsehood is like the serial scam in this film, there is still a real part, that part is love, this All falsehoods are based on at least the love of the protagonist Roy must be true. So, in the final analysis, deception is essentially the use of truth, and truth is the real body of this world, and falsehood is the parasite of this body. The biggest failure for a liar is to fall into a calculated scam without knowing it or even being cheated away. But this design is where the story lies, and this ending is the ultimate irony. At the same time, it is also the rigid requirement of mainstream values ​​for a person with moral taint. Of course, out of the need of education and catering, this bad person, Roy, can get a real family love as compensation-after all, in a god-worn person In the Puritan country, God needs to love everyone and let them be loved.

    The so-called unexpected endings of many movies are the "fuck you" in the routine, but this one is really unexpected. (Many movie endings known as unexpected endings can be regarded as unexpected endings to me if they are not for the protagonist's split personality.)
