      Loser's American Dream

      It's like a loser's American dream. There are no superheroes and successful people, and the protagonists are people without homes—both lonely people with separated families and homeless people. The broken family and father-son feud of “Being Flynn”’s main storyline are clichés, but setting the main scene in a “homeless home” adds something new. The protagonist Nick Flynn is one of the screenwriters. He wrote his own experience into a book and adapted it into a movie script.

      Changeable and sensitive heart, subtle father-son relationship


      When the unruly old guy meets the melancholy young man, and they are the biological father and son who have not been masked for a long time, this story seems to give people a very interesting impression. But in fact, the film does not have a fancy plot, and there is no rhythm of ups and downs. Just like the works written by the father and son on paper, they are told in a gentle way. The emotion between men is very special, not as direct as between women, but sometimes it goes beyond them...

      Faith of Bastard Father and Son [Cat]


             Just imagine, you grew up with a single mother who was struggling, and she committed suicide when you were an adult (also related to you), you didn’t know what your father looked like, but inherited his writing hobby and talent, you lacked a father’s role model, and you were a little cowardly, Feeling confused about maintaining a long-term relationship and career choice, taking it easy, being unemployed and cheating, being kicked out of her apartment by an ex-girlfriend, in...

      Being Flyee

      The movie itself does not have any ups and downs, but it has given me a lot of inspiration. Each of us is in an invisible cage and has huddled ourselves into it under unknown circumstances. This is just like the warmth of the exhaust port in the cold winter, once it is close, it will be covered with steam. When you want to leave, it will become colder and more afraid of the road ahead! Being Flyee is to put aside the shackles of the original life and live a life that is recognized by myself and...

    Movie quotes

    • Nick Flynn: [narrating] He's seen this before. Bums sprawled out from drinking. But he's never actually stood over the blowers, let the hot air seep into his clothes. The air is sucked out of the library. Even on the coldest nights, there is too much heat inside. It's another prison, these blowers, because once you've landed you can't leave. Because one step off the blower is cold, hypothermia cold, now that you're sodden with steam. The blower is a room of heat with no walls. My father is an invisible man, in an invisible room, in the invisible city.

    • Jonathan Flynn: [to Nick] Destiny has brought us together for one fleeting moment. Let's not spit in its eye.

    • Jonathan Flynn: There exists a striking association between creativity and manic depression. The only important thing, though, is to simply do the work.
