I came to watch this film for Sweet Tea. To be honest, I was a little disappointed, not for Sweet Tea but for the movie itself. Tiancha's appearance is certainly worthy of the title of "beautiful boy", and his acting skills are also online. The interpretation of Nic, who has become a bad boy, is very vivid, especially when he is struggling on the edge of drug addiction. Both myself and my family are scarred, and Tiancha has contributed excellent acting skills. Steve Carell, the actor who plays the father in the film, portrays a serious father who is tortured by his son. From the beginning of his trust in his son, he gradually becomes tired, and then he completely loses hope for his son, but finally pulls it out. Nic didn't let him destroy himself. The father's joys and sorrows seem to be related only to Nic, who has sacrificed too much to save his son who has fallen into the abyss of drugs.
However, the outstanding appearance and acting skills of the actors cannot hide the confusion of the narrative and the thinness of the plot. The director added too many episodes in the process of Nic's drug addiction recovery and drug addiction. It would be completely ok to add a contrast between Nic's docile and sensible when he was young and Nic now, but after joining an adult but not yet for drugs Crazy Nic's interlude is superfluous, which makes the timeline very chaotic. Originally, Nic was struggling on the edge of detoxification and relapse, and his attitude towards his family was also different. Adding this kind of interlude will affect the perception and even make people a little bit. I can't tell the difference. It's completely possible to write about how Nic walked into the abyss step by step.
Another thing I want to say is the scene that moved me the most. David sat on Nic's bed and remembered the lullaby he sang to his son when he put him to sleep. David's singing was intertwined with that of the original singer John Lennon. Little Nic's sleep and farewell at the airport seem to be close to his eyes. When he thinks of Nic now, David must have countless pains and bitterness in his heart. It seems that the good memories of the past can no longer be reproduced. I personally like the song Beautiful boy very much. It's a lullaby Lennon wrote to his son Sean, and there's a deep fatherly love between the lines. Knowing this song was actually accidental. The first listening session when I previewed the college English textbook for the first time was to ask to listen to this song, and I fell in love with it after listening to it. In fact, I can't be regarded as a fan of the Beatles, after all, it is not a generation, but every time I hear a Beatles song by chance, I always fall in love with it and listen to it for a long time. I knew this song after I learned about the movie, I just thought it was a coincidence and didn't think much about it, so when I saw this scene in the movie and heard the familiar melody, I was surprised and moved at the same time.
?''Close your eyes, have no fear, the monster's gone. He's on the run and your daddy is here. Beautiful beautiful beautiful, beautiful boy.''?
