The theme of this film is the nostalgia and rescue of a good-looking boy with good qualities.
There are many elements involved in the film - family, drugs and detoxification, love.
The factor of family affection is the first to bear the brunt. Family affection is the background of the whole story, and it also guides the context of the whole story.
The protagonist of the film, Nick, a drug user, puts the bad things that happened to Nick in front of the audience at the beginning of the film - the present of the once beautiful boy, from a brave, intelligent, unsuspecting, lovable boy. The boy turned into a drug-heavy adult. Then, the element of affection became stronger and stronger. Nick's father is very worried and terrified about the mutation of his child, he has no idea why Nick is taking so many drugs.
But, in fact, before, Nick has slightly revealed the reason - It takes the edge off of stupid all-day reality (free from the reality of shit), but as Nick's father, he has understated Nick's numerous Much sincerity. And neglect is exactly what this father has been doing. It can be seen from when Nick flew to his mother's city for the festival when he was a child - "Are you going to bring your little dinosaur?" Nick shook his head, his father put the little dinosaur on the Carrying the suitcase; "Do you want to bring some books?", Nick shook his head, and his father put the books in the suitcase.
The father ignored what Nick really wanted, and showed what he wanted clearly. Nick's emotions were not satisfied, and he began to pretend to meet his father's needs and to be happy.
This kind of childhood also led to the hardships of Nick growing up later. He has always used a smiling face to meet the needs of other people, so he will step on the surfboard when the wind and waves are very strong and rush forward desperately, because it will make his father Happy; so he would say to his father when he was in rehab, I went to this rehab for you; so he would have a relationship with Lauren because Lauren expressed his love for him.
It is difficult for him to put his needs in front of him, he is always catering, which makes it difficult for him to get pleasure when he is alone - towards the end of the movie, Nick is writing by himself, obviously, What he wrote was unsatisfactory, but at this time he was rejected by his family, and he had no way to satisfy others, so he used drugs and nearly died.
The film underscores the responsibility of the family while calling for the importance of detoxification.
Bad families are where a lot of bad things come from, and while Nick's family wasn't the worst, his father was a New York Times writer, had a beautiful house, and his father had a passion for caring for children, but things went bad. .
When Nick was young, his father and mother divorced. The image of his mother in the movie is a vulnerable person. She is more interested in herself than caring for her children. It can be seen from the time she shirks the responsibility of taking care of Nick. In addition, from the She hasn't come out of her previous failed marriage with Nick's father. It can be seen that she has not yet had a complete personality by the present time of the film - she is now married again, and she can't even give Nick a way Enough care, let alone the past.
In addition to dealing with the divorce of his original parents, Nick also has to bear the impact of the reorganization of his parents' family once again. Nick's drug use is largely due to the incomplete personality of his parents in his childhood. They are not able to bear the ability to take care of the children to a certain extent, because the husband and wife have their own emotional problems to solve, how can they Take care of the children; so does Nick's father's new wife, who at the end of the film drives in tears to chase Nick who is fleeing, not at all to save Nick, but to save her own family.
Nick has always been in a neglected environment, he doesn't know how to love, and he doesn't know what it means to truly love yourself.
The drugs gave him pleasure, but that pleasure was no different from what he had been pretending to do all this time—living on the outside world, not on himself.
