Many people may wonder why the film only explained the process of Roman Reigns' hostility to her sister, but never explained the reason for the estrangement between the two. The hatred is actually hatred for the mother.
Roman was smoking heroin in the toilet, and was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door by his mother. The first thing her mother said when she came in was: "Why lock the door? I can come in when you used to smoke." Roman said, "That was before." Mom didn't notice Roman's abnormality, but asked further indifferently: "I want to ask you one thing." Roman replied emotionally: "What is it this time?" At this point, we can clearly see that Roman My mother has been complaining for a long time, but unfortunately my mother didn't notice it. At the dinner table, Roman deliberately scolded his sister, "I don't want to take pictures of her children." He pointed out bluntly: "Do you know why? Because they were born to you. They belong to you, and I can see through them. When I see you, I can't help but feel sick when I think of this." Mom said to stop her with a face that was about to collapse, but instead made Roman aggravate, "No wonder your husband abandoned you, I can understand, you don't give him space and take up the children. For his own!" Speaking of which, Roman gave his father a special look, he was actually speaking for his father. My sister rushed over to beat Roman and was pulled away by my father. Dad complained, "Why do you talk to her like this? She is very fragile." Roman said with a child's mischievous smile: "I am just as fragile."
The mother comforts the sister, the father blames the son, the camp division of the family is clearly visible, in this family, the man has always been burdened and endured, and Roman's time is short, so he decided not to just use "fight with my sister". "Little trouble" to express his dissatisfaction, he wants to make a complete change, he wants to denounce his father, and denounce these two women who have tied them up for so many years in the name of love!
In fact, he didn't really hate his mother and sister, he just hoped that they would be enlightened and changed. Cancer made him realize how lucky he was to continue to live, so he didn't want his father's future life to be as forbearing and painful as before.
However, on the way his father took him home, he saw that Roman was still buying heroin, and his father couldn't help but persuaded: "Don't be stupid, your mother can't bear it." Roman asked back, "What about you?" Dad looked at Roman It took a long time to say, "Me too." Roman was dissatisfied, "Then why do you always talk about your mother and her reaction? It's like you won't be hurt yourself." Dad avoided Roman's eyes, "I don't know, just get used to it. ." Roman insisted, "It's not good, is it?" Dad: "Maybe I never learned how to talk about myself." Then, he finally asked years of questions, "Why didn't you divorce your mother?" "You Do you regret it?" What he didn't expect was that his father's answer turned out to be: "Of course not, why do you regret it?" In the end, Roman stared deeply at his father, and burst into tears in a tight embrace. At this point, Roman's cry is just that he is too distressed for the man in front of him who has been bound by love for a lifetime, and he is also suffering because he can no longer continue to "fight side by side" with his father.
In the 45th minute of the film, Roman received a "letter of peace" from his sister. The flowers on the table range from bright to withered, which not only expresses the passage of time, but also alludes to Roman's life in full bloom at the age of 30, but soon faces withering. Sasha said that Roman is a person who can never stand alone, but he thinks alone about the time it takes for a flower to go from blooming to withering. We have no way of knowing what he was thinking, but what we do know is that he chose to forgive his sister, or rather his mother. So, he not only called back his sister's phone, but also went to see her and the baby, and took pictures of them with his own hands. Then, he went to church, found a job for Sasha, accepted the last request to have sex that Sasha refused, and left a baby and his own inheritance for the infertile couple. Then, he chose a lively beach on a sunny afternoon, and quietly walked towards death alone.
Forgiveness is his way of saying goodbye to his sister and mother, and it is also his way of saying goodbye to life.
