After watching a lot of movies about the emotions of men and women, occasionally watching this kind of family movie is also a special feeling in my heart, or in fact, this kind of movie can resonate most in our hearts.
A father who smuggled into the United States from Mexico has a son in the United States. They have been living at the bottom of the society. They dream of being able to live a "high-class" life. The income of the family supports the family. For the child who is not in adulthood and is in the rebellious period, the neglect of discipline to the child makes the child not recognize the difficulties of the family, and the daily idleness does not cause any pressure due to the current situation of the family.
A truck changed the fortunes of this home. His father, who wanted to change the family’s status quo, borrowed money to buy a truck. He turned from a migrant worker into a foreman. During a demonstration of climbing a tree, he was robbed of the truck by the seemingly simple and honest fellow. When he saw his father’s decadent son. Growing up a lot, they ran around the streets with their father to find the lost truck, and they finally got the truck back in the black market, but they were arrested by the police on the way home. The consequence of this was the smuggling of the father without a driver's license. He was sent back to China after the incident happened.
A beautiful American dream, but it died in the beginning. I originally thought that through hard work, there might be twists and turns, but in the end father and son will live a better life. But the fact is that good luck makes people like this, and it cannot be said that good people are not rewarded. Fate determines every step of life. It is not impossible to change fate, but there are very few successful people, and more often we can only succumb to fate. Where is a better life? More often it is just a distant dream.
My favorite scene is at the beginning of the film, the father is sitting in the car weary and looking at the colorful world outside the car window, the men and women who are partying, the woman who sneaks out the pet and the woman who is exercising and running, maybe in his opinion, these are the A better life is the goal he strives for, but it is so far away from him that he has no time or energy to enjoy it. Working to earn money to support his son is the only purpose of his life. Looking out the window, he smiled.
Ordinary and special story, life is long, want to live a better life, where are you?
