There is a soundtrack in the middle of the film, which can be said to greatly summarize the mental journey of the father character of the film. "sunrise sunset" / Perry Como.

Is this the little girl I carried?

Is this the little boy at play?

I don't remember growing older

when did they?

Near the end of the film, Nic escaped home when no one was at home and found the manuscript paper on his father's desk.

“He will sometimes send you funny emails. He prefers spaghetti over penne. Have you seen my son? Have you seen my beautiful boy? Tell him I miss him.”

The well-loved boy who grew up as an excellent boy went astray at some point, and was pulled further and further away as he tried to turn around. Even when the hope is dim or almost dashed, the father, who has been trying his best to help, still retains a trace of hope and tenderness.

"Everything?"

"Everything."

ps. Although the editing of the movie is a little messy, it will basically not affect the understanding and viewing experience. √√

    Mainly to look at the face. It's not that the father-son relationship is not sincere, but it is a repetitive and constant thing. It is not impossible to repeat this kind of thing beautifully, but it can also be written well and deeply. The characters with no beginning and no end also make the whole play a bit like a Christmas bonfire story, thanks to the heavenly Father for giving us beauty.

    Every actor's acting skills are stable, but every character is like an empty shell. Every soundtrack is good, but it's especially awkward when put together in a movie.

Beautiful Boy quotes

  • Nic Sheff: One day, I tried methamphetamine... Yeah. That felt good... and I thought, "This is what's been missing." I felt complete. Today's a good day. Yeah, I've been chasing that high ever since. No matter... how much meth... or whatever else I can find to shoot up into my body... I do, it's never enough. And I went to a couple of rehabs, I detoxed, they would talk about disease, sure, but... it never clicked. Until one day I woke up in a hospital and someone asked me, "What's your problem?" And I said, "I'm an alcoholic and an addict." And he said..."No, that's how you've been treating your problem."I know now I need to find a way to fill this big black hole in me. Anyway, so I'm fourteen months clean. I have a job at a rehab. It's fulfilling to help other people get sober. I have a sponsor, Spencer. He shows me how great my life can be sober. And, um, I still have family. My mom's been amazing. My dad's been amazing, too. I want them to be proud of me.
