Some man-made fences are to prevent others from coming in, and some man-made fences are to prevent people from getting out.
For Troy, there has always been a fence in his heart. Not only let yourself out, but also let others in. Black people who have experienced hardships in the old days have always separated themselves from white people. When he was sitting on the bench in the baseball team, he thought that people of color would not be able to get along no matter what, and it would be better to be a garbage worker, so he let love The eldest son of music gave up music, and the younger son who loved rugby gave up rugby. He was stubborn all his life, and he talked about how to leave home early and how to make money to support his children and let it become his prestige rhetoric. He isolates himself, doesn't listen to anyone, thinks he understands everything, educates children in a simple and rude way but is unwilling to accept the child's weakness for seeking comfort, and talks about freedom and responsibility when he cheats, I think Rose doesn't understand the pressures and predicaments she's facing at all. However, he never stepped out of the barrier in his heart to look at the outside world. As everyone had been telling him, times had changed. But he was unwilling to accept it. He doesn't want to believe that this era has changed to make black people good sports players, just like he doesn't want to touch his original scars. He accepts his fate but is not reconciled. He believes in his heart that he is still not as good as the rich man who always wins the lottery after working hard step by step, but he is tired of this kind of life. He seeks another woman without having to face the trivialities of life. The thrill of freedom.
He is in his world, living by his truth. He doesn't believe in death, he doesn't believe in demons. He wants to fight against the world, but he goes wrong every step of the way. He wants a lover, but in the scolding of the child, he is like the father he hated at the beginning. Such a bad man. His only luck was to have a woman like Rose who sacrificed herself to love her unconditionally, and he knew this very well.
Only Rose knew that when he said that he had no love and only responsibility for the child, it was just a poor way of expressing it. If you touch it, it hurts, if you hold it, it will be too tight. For the child in front of you, everything seems to be wrong.
The whole film is extremely life-like dialogue, Troy's muttering, little soundtrack and two or three scenes that are repeated repeatedly, it is destined to be an unpleasant film. But the complex relationship insinuations hidden in the simple story structure and the superb acting make for a good movie, even if it's not very likable, and even the male lead is so annoying.
Finally, Viola's acting is worthy of a statuette.
