When you make a big mistake, correct yourself, and return to the world, is the punishment really over?
Boy A tells such a story.
Not long ago, I was impressed by a film review in Manchester by the Sea: Our first half of life is responsible for making regrets, and the second half is responsible for embracing them.
For this little-known boy a, I think it can be changed to: The regrets you made in the past may need your next life to repay.
The protagonist, Eric, has a bad family, and his only friend sends them both to prison for an impulsive murder. The culprit didn't make it out of jail, and Eric did. He changed his name and started a new life with the help of a counselor. He was shy and gradually adapted to the society. Another extroverted friend helped him understand the world and took him out of the shadow of his memory. In the process, he gained friendship, love, and affection (the counselor treated him more than himself). child), however as he integrates into this society, he begins to want to tell the world who he is, and he doesn't want to live as a jack all his life.
But before he said it, the counselor's son exposed it, the darkness of society was revealed, and everything he worked so hard to manage seemed like a beautiful dream, with the arrival of the past memories. People didn't believe him, they didn't understand him, and he didn't give him any chance to explain. He was so isolated that he desperately shouted at everyone, but in exchange he was full of contempt and disbelief.
This scene seems to return to the Shawshank redemption. I started to think that the prison imprisoned me, but after 30 years, I realized that the outside society no longer accepts you. Instead, the prison is your only destination.
Garfield's film is not well-known and has not won many awards, but his delicate performance perfectly interprets boy A. The shy and naive thought that he could live a new life, but the life that was destroyed by mistakes could not be repaired, and the life that was ruined could not get back on track again.
In some ways, boy a is more realistic than Manchester by the sea. Although the latter can never get rid of the pain, it has regained the meaning of life. Boy A, on the other hand, shows the most genuine lack of tolerance in society, and the desperate protagonist finally had to commit suicide and go all the way.
This movie made me admire little Garfield. Although he didn't get the best actor this year, as a potential stock, a series of excellent movies finally helped him climb higher peaks in his acting career.
Boy A, a real movie.
