Frankie, a cute nine-and-a-half-year-old boy, is hearing impaired, he is so smart, he can read lip language, and he uses the heart (pure commendation). His mother, Liz, has communicated with Frankie in his father's name uninterruptedly for many years to share her mood and depict the imaginary landscapes of mountains and rivers. Liz described to Frankie that Dad was a seaman who wandered around on the boat, but unfortunately he had no chance to land ashore. Liz also invented the name of the ship to increase credibility.
Frankie lives with his mother and grandmother, and the scene of the three moving houses appears in the beginning of the movie. Frankie is accustomed to this. His mother's anxious face does not look forward to moving to the beach. This mystery was not revealed until near the end of the film. Frankie’s biological father was violent and beat Frankie as a deaf child. Liz ran away from home to protect his son and moved around to avoid being found by him. In order to avoid myself, I couldn't help but ran back to that home.
The most unfortunate thing happened, the invented name of the ship corresponded to the real thing, and the ship of the same name was about to stop in the small town where they temporarily lived. Frankie knew the news. From the past, through the geography class, the library's extracurricular reading, Frankie had noticed the whereabouts of the ship, and the provocation of his friend and foe aroused his eagerness to win. Heart, anxiously made a gambling agreement, Frankie both looked forward to and hesitantly watching his father's appearance.
Liz loves Frankie deeply, and goes alone to the bar where seamen gather, but is mistaken as a "special worker". Liz just wants to find a man who "has no past, no future" who only needs one day of role-playing to protect Frank Ji's small wish that shouldn't be pierced.
With the help of her friend Mary, Liz made an appointment with "Dad" to draw up a salary. The key is to explain the correspondence between her and Frankie in the past few years. The "daddy" who attended the appointment was unparalleled handsome, calm and profound, tall and mighty. Frankie didn’t know his mother’s secretive management. He dared not touch his mother’s inner pain, nor could he stop his yearning for his father. So on the last day of the gambling appointment, Liz made an appointment for the "father and son" to meet. The play disappeared that day. The awkward silence of the two who finally met from the beginning gradually heated up. The careful "dad" read Frankie's letter and brought Frankie's favorite gift. "Dad" was slightly astonished by Frankie's spouting feelings and enthusiastically embraced, and was not used to it. However, after a whole day of getting along, "Dad" offered to continue the date the next day. The pungent and smokey grandmother tested this strange man with all kinds of unkindness, but like Liz, the "dad" finally agreed to an extra request to get along with Liz and Frankie for a day. At this time, "Dad" had walked into Frankie's heart, knowing his true needs.
Because of this, the next night, when Frankie's "little gambler" invited to bet again at a party, betting that Frankie would not dare to ask the girl on the stage to dance, "Dad" would encourage him: " If you dare to invite her to dance, I dare to invite your mother to dance." It seems that if the invitation is true, the two danced lightly, and Frankie, who had expected to walk towards the girl, turned around after going forward and filled with the girl. While waiting with a smile, I admired the warmth dance of "parents". In Frankie's heart, this is a better relationship than the day before.
At the end of the film, Liz went to the post office to pick up a letter from Frankie to "Dad" as usual, but learned in the letter that Frankie had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Before parting with "Dad", he asked: "will you back", this child who has no damage to his vocal cords, but has not spoken for a long time, is willing to use his blunt words to communicate with "Dad" who knows he is not his biological father. .
As for the moment when the flaw was revealed, I think it should be the chat with "Dad" after Mary was slightly drunk in the bar. How could Frankie, who is so smart, be easily fooled. Therefore, I saw the surprise of "Dad" at the first moment before, and secretly hid the "Ace" picked by "Dad", Anshuang secretly introduced "This is my father" to everyone who is not familiar with. Only if you are convinced can you have such sincere joy. In the end, it must be his sincere devotion and communication, not the so-called "blood is thicker than water" father who only wants to meet his dying wishes and has no repentance for past atrocities. .
