David, played by Nicolas Cage, is a weatherman whose life becomes difficult and messy as he enters middle age.
In his life, those disasters were not big enough to make him cry and collapse, nor were they small enough not to affect his life.
It is the estrangement with the children.
Dissatisfaction with ex-wife
I can't even buy a newspaper
Coffee, drinks thrown by passers-by
Father's Achievements and Own Failures
dislike of the profession
The director is very powerful. Through the simplest dialogue, simple pictures, and Cage's godlike acting skills, he deeply portrays the "decline" of David's life, making the audience immersed in his unlucky and unable to extricate themselves...
The current state of his life we can feel from Cage's expression
However, the audience watched and gradually realized that it was not just his bad luck, but a lot of his own problems, such as giving up on himself, not caring about other people's feelings, neglecting his children, not serious about his work attitude, and not knowing how to be flexible.
He tried to save,
But things are by no means as simple as he thought, the daughter's resistance to him, the son's alienation from him, and the wife's disappointment to him. He's about to lose faith in life...
At this time, he began to reflect on his own mistakes
In the end, he finally found the focus of his life and strived to be a host in a very powerful show. He no longer treated negatively or vented blindly. He finally stopped trying to get back what he had lost. he understands
Let go of what is lost and cherish what is present.
His wife is getting married, his children are still with his mother, and his father is dying of cancer. But he chose to accept it. In the end he won the host. He no longer felt defeated by the word "weatherman", but used his strengths to do well...
It is such a person who has been smashed by fast food five times in his life, and who happened to be talking at his father's funeral but only said one sentence when the power went out. When he has a correct concept of life, he can get out of the predicament...
Couldn't we be better?
No one's life is easy, but... "We have to throw something out of this shitty life."
May everyone who encounters difficulties in life walk out of the past, get out of the predicament, and be their own happy weather forecaster...
