Looking at it yesterday, I couldn't help falling asleep, and it's time to watch the Spring Festival Gala after getting up and eating. It was only today that I finally continued to watch it, and I couldn't help but almost doze off. Just when I regained my energy and got ready to watch it, the film ended abruptly. From the beginning, I was stunned to slowly aftertaste, and then I read other people's film reviews, and my stamina slowly came up. One word: cold. Beijing is quite cold these days. Seeing the wind blowing in Manchester, the snow on the streets, the thick coats people wear with their hands in their pockets... I remember seeing the same state when I was in Northern Europe. Except for the endless polar night, when there is light, everything is pale: no blue sky, no clouds, no plants, only snow, and even the sun is white; people wrap themselves tightly, and the heat they exhale evaporates instantly. At that time, I only knew that this place has the highest happiness index in the world, but I didn't know that it might be because the unfortunate people committed suicide. I think, just as children in the south yearn for the world of ice and snow, children in the north must also yearn for sunny beaches. But this is where we grow, live, and sometimes die. Hometown is like our past, which is our past. There is no turning back and no getting rid of it. Casey has never been very famous, but he left a deep impression on me in "The Killer in Your Heart". The "insufficient" voice, as well as the cold, indifferent appearance and eyes, all play a better role in this film. Incisively and vividly. I was waiting for Lee to burst into tears and emotions throughout the film, but whether it was the ridicule of others, the unintentional contempt of his nephew, the death of his brother, the confession and confession of his ex-wife, the torture of memories... He was stunned to hold back. . The only time I cried was just like a bullied child, bowing his head and hiding in his mother's arms so that no one could see him, an understatement. I am so fond of forbearance, it is easier to be moved by unintentional chatter than weeping and weeping; it is easier to be moved by faltering aphasia than hoarseness. Throughout the film, you can see Casey's head bowed and his eyes looking sideways. He is an "outsider", but he has to return to the game and try his best to clean up the mess of others and himself. A person who has no intention of living, but has to take on the responsibility of taking care of his brother and son. This should have been a traditional movie about redemption. The uncle and nephew finally completed each other's redemption, got to know each other better, depended on each other better, sorted out the mess in life, started anew, and moved forward together... Joe's will may not be true. You have to choose, and you must have such good expectations. Because this seems to be a positive, correct, responsible life. "Why can't you stay?" Patrick asked Lee more than once. There is nothing to get past, obviously this is an opportunity to start over, obviously he is so attached to his brother, obviously there is a strong family relationship between him and Patrick, obviously many people understand him, sympathize with him, accept him, and even like him. Lee gave a self-defeating, irrefutable, and seemingly irresponsible answer: "I can't beat it." Of course Lee was self-defeating, but didn't he try his best? We encourage a person to work hard, even if they get nothing; we praise a person to pursue love, even if it doesn't work. Why is it that a person is not allowed to try his best to live, but he is still unable to face the past and face himself? What's more, not everyone will choose to forgive. The lawyer said to Lee, "Lee, nobody can't really appreciate what you've been through, If I can say that." The coach said to Patrick, "So, I know what you are going through." Patrick was just deflated mouth, nod. In the end, Lee said to his ex-wife: "You don't understand..." The ex-wife retorted: "I could understand too." Lee could only change his mouth: "I know you understand..." But in the end, he did not give any chance and left resolutely. "I gotta go, sorry." Lee's arrangement may not be perfect from a general point of view, he failed to overcome everything, ride the wind and waves, and finally give us a happy ending. But this is the best solution he can give. In the penultimate act of the movie, after Lee and Patrick's daily, tentative, passive-aggressive, loving conversation, Patrick throws a ball that Lee doesn't catch and doesn't want to pick up: "just let it go". Patrick ran to pick it up and threw it back into Lee's hands. In the last scene of the movie, the uncle and nephew went back to the old boat to fish, and they were happy, looking at the undulating sea, as if life had no turbulence. After all, everyone has something they have to face, and something they can't face.
