I noticed that this film was watched on the live broadcast of the Oscars in 2017. The film was rated by the American Film Institute with a high score. It was a film of more than two hours. The plot of the first hour was like a frog in warm water, and there were no waves at all, like a storm. The quiet before, the next hour, like the frog finally angry, finally eager to try, gradually surfaced, and even jumped out of the stagnant water. From the appearance: the indulgence of sexual desire, the pursuit of the last stimulation of old age, the trivial matters in the family and among friends. But the deeper level is that racial discrimination in the United States and even the world can not forget the stains in his early life.
The male protagonist's self-esteem for the self-dedication of life to the family is too much, but he is unaware of the dedication to his family and friends. The heroine has had a deep but unremarkable love for her husband, and she has guarded him for 18 years. The love between father and son, responsibilities, and obligations are also vividly interpreted: (dad) I said I don't love you, but I will give you food and clothing, and give you a complete family; (son) I hate you for never understanding me, never loving you, but I will still be like you when I grow up. The male protagonist has never forgotten the trauma of his young family and society.
Although the devil in his heart has been suppressed by him, it finally broke out after the age of fifty. The woman gave him a smile he hadn't had in years, but he was still struggling between his responsibility to his wife Rose and his desires. The confrontation between the two forces finally overwhelmed him. The movie doesn't condemn his outburst of desire, because it is human nature, but he is selfish and pitiful. There is a microcosm of each of us, and we will find the shadow of our life in it.
