This film tells the story of an ordinary person's spiritual world rebirth. He loves his family, his career, his wife and daughter, but he can't express it very well. Since he met Richie, he suddenly woke up, quit his job, and did what he wanted to do. Freedom for wives and daughters.
In this film, Lester has never been angry. Even when his wife and daughter threw a plate, he just wanted to scare them. He has turned his attention to life, and he wanted to share this attitude with his family, but it backfired.
The moment before his death was fixed in his nostalgia for the good life in the past, his memories of his family, and his full love for his daughter and wife.
I guess I should be angry when I die, but the world is so beautiful that I shouldn't be angry all the time. Sometimes it is unbearable to watch it all at once, and my heart is like a full balloon that will burst at any time. Then I remembered to relax myself instead of trying to hold on to it all the time. All the beauty washes me like rain and makes me feel grateful for this humble and stupid life every moment. You must have no idea what I'm talking about, but don't worry, one day you'll understand.
It's liberation, a free will, a diatribe to the values of life in today's society.
