In Massachusetts, 16-year-old Wayne lives in an unhappy family. His mother ran away when he was 5 years old, and his father got cancer because of his work. . Unintentionally, he meets the equally unfortunate cool girl Del.
Del's mother was drugged and killed in an accident, his father was an alcoholic, and his two brothers were equally assholes and indifferent. And just like that, after Wayne's dad died of cancer, he set the house on fire and took Del to Florida to find his dad's car.
The thing that pops up the most in the story is the second chance, and I think that's the main thread of the story. This opportunity was not an unintentional gift from God, but the attention that Wayne's people around him gave him after seeing what happened to him. And that is the warmth in all indifference.
This opportunity can also be regarded as Wayne's luck, because some people did not seize the opportunity, and some people never had the opportunity. The reason why the story of the prodigal son can be so touching is that everyone hopes to have the opportunity to make up for their mistakes. The story of the prodigal son is the good hope we place on ourselves. So this opportunity is also the way that the people around Wayne used Wayne to save him.
As he kept approaching Florida, he gradually discovered Wayne's soft, sensitive and pure heart beneath his seemingly indifferent exterior. The director's portrayal of Wayne's father and son's love is very unique. It is not a huge inheritance and earnest teaching, but a little bit of luck in a miserable life, and watching his son's peace of mind when he eats.
Wayne is innocent enough not to lie, timid and cute in front of Del.
There are many reasons why Wayne and Del can finally rely on each other. The two share similar unfortunate families and understand each other's situation, which of course was a necessary opportunity for the trip to Florida. Moreover, both of them have unique personalities and loneliness. After experiencing the bumps and stumblings in the journey, they are used to each other's company.
At the end of the story, it is found that the intersection between Wayne and Del did not start with buying cookies, and it was not a whim that Wayne liked Del.
Before Del's mother died, Wayne helped Del beat the blackmailing punks. At this time, Wayne should have met Del, but Del didn't know Wayne existed.
Wayne and Del are at a school, and Wayne's fascination with Del, or the concern, should begin with Del's blood donation drive after his mother's death.
Del had just started telling Wayne that the address should just be for biscuits, and that's why her mother taught her to take advantage of her femininity. A little interest in Wayne should begin when Waye said she was going to vote for her after she said she was selling cookies for mayor. Del was ridiculed by many people when he was running for the student council president. Only his mother was willing to encourage him. Now that Wayne said the same thing, it must have had a big impact on Del.
The story ends pretty well, with Wayn getting the car back but being arrested himself. At this time, it doesn't matter whether there is a car or not. During the trip to Florida, Wayne taught the mustache car thief and found Del. This is the meaning of this trip.
Everyone has a wayne in their hearts, who can punish evil and promote good, fight against injustice, say fuck about life wanton, do whatever they want... But everyone lives in a happy family that cannot be abandoned Among the chores, work and responsibilities. Perhaps this is the power of film and television, using imagination to realize the unfinished dream in everyone's heart.
This is Wayne, and you gonna love this motherfucker.
