This criminal is so charming

This man is charming, he is an artist of life, he knows how to enjoy life and conquer Adele and her son from the taste buds. In the end, let this woman spend all her belongings and stubbornly accompany him on the road of escape.

I like this way of shooting. The film starts from the child's point of view, introducing his mother as a middle-aged woman who has lost love early, and then the child reflects Frank and Adele snuggling together from the game console screen. Finally, tell the ending of the whole story with the child's narration. Everything unfolds in the third person to unfold the whole story.

At first, I didn't understand why a film defined as a romance should be called Labor Day. There is no shortage of statements in the film: "That day, Frank repaired the loose floor on the steps, made the kitchen door squeak, and cleaned the gutters..."; and the story takes place during Labor Day in the United States, These also show the theme of the movie-labor day.

The appearance of this man made up for Adele's desire for love and the child's desire for fatherly love. Growing up with his mother, this boy has a cowardly look in his eyes, and he obeys his mother's orders. This character is also doomed to the beginning of the story. When he encounters Frank, he can't refuse him and then helps him "escape". . Adele saw the impact this man had on her child and how important it was for a boy to have a father who gave him masculinity.

This man is not bad. When he accidentally killed his wife and drowned his son, and failed to escape from prison, he would rather bear everything by himself than involve Adele. Prison escape was sentenced to 10 years, kidnapping was sentenced to 15 years, and Adele waited for him to finish his sentence, and finally got together happily. If not in jail, he will be a successful father. The little boy is now a real man, changing tires, playing baseball, and eventually running a peach pizzeria, all of which are his influences on the little boy.

The alarm sounded, and at the last moment, he could tie up Adele and the little boy so calmly, hug Adele deeply, and said to her affectionately: "I would rather spend another twenty years in exchange for more money. Three days with you." Such a man is charming, and any woman would be addicted to him.
