"Tender Mercy" Brings a Certain Long-Lost Feeling

For a movie, the greatest success is to give people a sense of a long absence. This feeling, no matter whether it is sad or happy, just need sincerity.

The film tells the story of a down-and-out country singer who finds new meaning in life. On the surface, the protagonist succeeds because of the success of the music, but in fact, the biggest reason why the protagonist saves himself is to let go of the past.

There are three secondary protagonists in the film, interpreting three different life states.

As the heroine, after losing her husband at an early age, struggles to support her through her efforts and chooses to marry the heroine, it is this relieving mentality that allows the heroine to regain her happiness. Although the tragic memory of the past ferociously emerged on the night the protagonist drove out alone, in the end, the protagonist returned to her side.

As a child, I have always been full of infinite imagination about my biological father, but the child gradually accepts his stepfather, and only after he accepts it can he have fatherly love.

As the protagonist's original wife, he has been living in the shadow of the past, and he disciplined his daughter strictly, which eventually led her to no return.

As a male protagonist, the biggest pain is the failed singing career and the failed marriage. The more nostalgic you for the past, the more you lose everything you have in reality.

Things in the past were very profound, but being obsessed with going too far will make you lose everything in reality. If the meaning of life is to grasp the present, then embrace the present.
