When I look back, there are blooming flowers

"I'm pretty good". At
the end of the movie Mike stood behind the bar and said to his friend, and then I finally laughed.
After the film ended, I wondered what choice I should make if I were Mike.
If my little law is swaying in the wind and rain, there is a danger of bankruptcy at any time; if I can’t even find someone to cut down the tree that threatens the house, I can’t meet the requirement; if the boiler has the potential to explode, I don’t have the money to find someone to repair it; and if The family's medical insurance has been unable to pay the payment, so what will happen to me? Maybe it will collapse.
At this time, the temptation came. All I need to do is to obtain custody of Leo, send him to a nursing home, and visit him occasionally, and I can get $1,500 per month. What would I do? After hesitating for a while, he said to himself, never bend the waist for five buckets of rice. I'm still a student. I don't know the hardships of people in society. How
can I get back pain when standing and talking? It is not difficult to understand that when Mike defrauded the guardianship, I was angry and felt that I can't be like this. After all, being upright is true. At that time, I ignored some things. Mike didn’t start Leo’s idea at the beginning; I ignored that he used to call his partner who was also a lawyer late at night for help, but to no avail; I ignored him I also held Leo’s file and thought for a long time; I also ignored that he was in the public guardianship office and only stood up when the person in the public guardianship office had to sign the document to the judge and defrauded Leo's custody. , I forgot all this. But
, when Mike came out of the nursing home for the first time, when he leaned on the silver-gray wall and smoked silently without saying a word, I felt distressed. , I feel distressed for this amateur wrestling coach who is forced by life. It turns out that he is also uncomfortable. It turns out that he is just an ordinary person. It turns out that I hope too much. He has a family to support, he has a law firm to run, and he has a wrestling team. He wants to train, but he has no money. The
pressure comes, he can only compromise. This is not a heroic movie, this is just the ordinary life of ordinary people, I began to relieve. When he smoked alone, I forgave him , But I can't talk about liking it.
Mike is a bit selfish. At first, he wanted to send Kyle away who was homeless. He also sent Kyle to the high school because of selfishness to join the wrestling team. Watching him do this step by step, I almost doubted myself. I was watching a movie about how life pushes the little man into depravity step by step. So, I waited to see how he could fall.
I was wrong.
As he got along with Kyle, he found the boy’s calm and kindness, He discovered Kyle’s filial piety. They won the game again and again; together they pushed to the tree that had no money to cut down. Their relationship got better and better, and Mike admired Kyle more and more because of appreciation, because of liking, So he felt guilty. When Kyle asked him about letting Leo go home, he could only hesitate. Once again under pressure, he could only repeatedly deny leaning against the silver-gray wall to smoke alone.
In this way, I gradually saw Mike’s helplessness and kindness.
After a game, he asked Kyle, who had won the game, "What does it feel like to be as good as you?"
Hearing Kyle say it's like everything is under control. When he was in the middle, he only said "that's really good". There was a bit of envy in his tone.
Everything was under control, that was good.
At that moment, he completely forgiven him, no matter what He is just an individual, an ordinary person. He also hopes to be an upright lawyer. He also hopes to take care of Leo. He also hopes to be the leader when Kyle is helpless. He really wants to be a thorough and good person. But , The ideal is too full, the reality is pretty backbone. Therefore, he feels that everything is well under control.
So he is helpless. After
Kyle saw his mother, everything went wrong, he turned the window and escaped, mood swings, lost to Mike A game that is very important to Kyle. In the lounge, Kyle is frank and crying, and he doesn't want to leave. I think that at that moment Mike is no longer the one who did the wrong thing. He is already willing to give everything for Kyle.
So , When Kyle’s mother hadn’t exposed Mike’s scam to everyone, he was already willing to abandon the $1,500 per month and raise Kyle for free. At
that moment, Mike became my idol in my heart, and I fell in love with him. .
He is indeed imperfect, he has deceived, he has been selfish, but he is inherently kind, this is the real person. He is not as perfect as Kyle, Kyle has talent, filial piety to Leo, polite to people, and teammates The relationship is good, but Mike wins the truth.
From him, we seem to see many shadows of people in society, many shadows of people forced by life. They are just small people. Maybe they have done some disgraceful things for life, but they can still glow with humanity at critical moments.
I finally understand that I can't be Kyle, and I don't have his talent, but I may be It's Mike. If you miss it, you can correct it after all.
Ordinary beauty is the real beauty of humanity.
At the beginning of the film, Mike once teased whether he went to a bar to be a bartender, and his tone was not without bitterness. In the end, he became a real one. An amateur bartender, one person has three positions, but he can say
"I'm pretty good" with a smile . (I'm pretty good).
He was really good at that time, his heart was happy, his family was happy, and his life suddenly seemed like a flower.
Mike, the flowers are blooming when you look back!
This is the life of ordinary people.
