Put up your middle finger to the hard life

When the vast number of infatuated young women are still sinking into the freshness of 囧瑟夫 in "500 Days with Summer" and playing gangsters in "Inception", the new generation of handsome guys in Hollywood-Joseph Gordon-Levitt In the shape of a "sharp brother", and Oscar new star star Natalie Portman hand in hand to present a limited-level inspirational drama full of sex and violence-"Heather".

The image of 囧瑟夫 in the film is absolutely shocking. With flowing hair, stubborn stubble, jeans with open knees, and rusty vans, the most eye-catching thing is the stick figure-style tattoo on Jiao Cerf's body. A suicide villain who shot a headshot, and a palm with his middle finger raised angrily.

Heather is a violent, deviant rock youth. He was displaced and wandered around, trying to live his unruly life in a self-exile. In Heather's world, there seems to be only sex and violence, which have also become his means of solving problems. When he met TJ, a boy who lost his mother in a car accident, everything changed; his original "unquiet" "quiet life", because of TJ's accidental intrusion, triggered a series of changes. In the end, this cynical and rebellious youth saved a family that was on the brink of collapse.

Due to the sudden departure of his mother, the originally warm and harmonious family of four went to pieces. After that, the life of young TJ was nothing but bullying and helplessness. Looking for the red car where his mother was killed became the boy's only obsession.

To some extent, Heather is like an adult version of a young TJ. In the face of life, they all chose to fight violence with violence. However, Heather is obviously better at it. His idiosyncratic stand by, and his fascinating love are silently declaring TJ: This is not the world you should have. As an uninvited guest of the Broken House, Heather is like Moses who has fallen from the sky, guiding the people who have suffered disasters out of their predicament.


All misfortunes will eventually turn; all feelings finally ushered in catharsis at grandmother's funeral. Heather inspired these two men who were devastated by fate:

"You have lost your wife. You have lost your mother. I have lost a testicle."


This is Heather. A violent, perverted, rebellious rock youth, but full of justice and love in his bones, even though he is full of fornication and nonsense.

So the tattoo on Heather seems to be understandable: if your life is full of misfortunes, either quit yourself happily, or put your middle finger to the hard life without thinking.



Just like the movie "Waiting Alone" said: Either live well or die quickly.

Hesher quotes

  • Hesher: You lost your wife. And you lost your mom. I lost my nut.

  • Hesher: I pulled this gas tank from an old Chevy. I wanted to blow it up, so I did. What I didn't think about was all the little bits of metal that were going to fly out in every direction. I almost killed myself. I woke up in this hospital and this doctor was like, "Son..." and I said "Don't call me son, you fucking cunt." And he was like, "You blew off your nut." pause I just lost my nut, like that. I went fucking crazy. I assaulted a nurse or a doctor, I don't really remember. I got arrested. I went to juvee. All I could think about was my fucking nut, man. I'm missing a nut. What am I going to do? I had to go looking for it, right? So I busted out of juvee and I went searching. I couldn't find my nut. pause Well, there was this one night I was sitting there and I was taking a shit and I was looking at my balls and I was staring at this little piece of flabby sack where my left nut used to be. And then I saw my right nut for the first time. I was like FUCK MAN, MY NUT! Look I have one, I still have a nut. Right? It's a good nut, it works. God or the fucking devil or whoever the fuck it is you know he left me with one good nut. I still have a fucking nut and it works. And my fucking dick works too. pause Okay, you lost your wife. And you lost your mom. I lost my nut.
