"Peanut Butter Falcon" debuts at The Peanut Butter Falcon
Zach, a patient with Down's disease in North Carolina, is a fan of wrestler Yanshui Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). Those videos of wrestling have been watched countless times over and over again, so he fled the nursing home desperately. Go to apprentice. Nurse Elena (Dakota Johnson) decides to get him back.
Taylor (Shia LaBeouf) has to run away because he offends Duncan (John Hawkes) by stealing crabs. On the road, I ran into Zach, who only wore a pair of underwear and didn't know anything about it. In this way, the two of them drank together and walked towards their destination. An old man on the road helped them set up a raft, and they got on the raft and went down the river. What's amazing is that Irina found them all the way and met them. Okay, the three of them floated down on the raft together. After going ashore, he inquired all the way and finally found the home of Salt Water Red Neck.
(spoiler)
He was found in a dilapidated house among the grass. Saltwater Red Neck shut down the training class ten years ago when he was washing his hands in the golden basin. Just as they were walking back disappointedly, Yanshui Redneck drove a broken car and rushed over. He taught Zach several tricks on the spot. Zach is not satisfied yet, hoping for a real fight. Saltwater Redneck helped him arrange a game for the next day.
The gladiatorial fight in this kind of place is not a place of rules, all kinds of tricks can be used, it seems that the opponent must be crippled, Zach really hesitated. Taylor still encouraged Zac to play. And serve as the coach on site. Even though Zac was thrown into a bad mood as soon as he played, he finally threw his opponent from the top of his head, finally got over the wrestling addiction, and fulfilled his wish. As Fan Xian said in the series "Celebrating More Than Years": "Everyone should find what they want to do and live for themselves." Finally, the three of them went to Florida to find a new life.
Zach named his ring Falcon, and because they lived on a bottle of peanut butter along the way, Taylor changed his name to Peanut Butter Falcon. Taylor triumphantly told Elena that he taught Zac to shoot, swim, and the final gladiatorial fight. They enjoy campfires, grilling fish, camping, diving, swimming, and dancing along the way, admiring their freedom as they please. Life is harder, but carefree, much happier than nursing home. Don't talk about him, even Jelena finally went to Florida with them. A modern version of "Huckleberry Finn".
One more sentence. There are two kinds of life, one is to eat and drink, you don’t have to worry about your whole life, but you can’t leave casually. Then there is drinking wind and meal dew, free and easy, of course, the days are much harder. Compared with the two, Zach chose the latter.
The whole story revolves around Zach. The actor himself is a patient with Down's disease. He told the screenwriter that his wish was to be an actor. The film also shows that even patients with Down's disease can be an actor, which is actually the director's intention. In the story he became Taylor's friend, and he can also swim, shoot and wrestle. In short, many ordinary people can do what he can do. And you can feel the same emotions and sorrows as ordinary people. It can also be said that Taylor also needs Zach, he ran away in a panic, drifting in the rivers and lakes alone without relatives and no reason. Zach is a loyal friend. You can listen to his heart, make him feel that he exists, and help him in times of trouble.
A road movie. A few people got rid of their worries and wandered between heaven and earth carefree, which was so cool. For the average person, such a life is out of reach. The three of them have hope for the future and trust in their peers. This kind of interpersonal relationship should not be too beautiful.
