Preface
Nowadays, there are three things: faith, hope, and love. The biggest of them is love.
---"Bible" 1 Corinthians 13:13
Main story
Character analysis:
Zak, a patient with Down syndrome: He wants to be a professional wrestler
Runaway fisherman (petty theft) Tyler: Unemployed, looking for a direction in life
Nursing home employee, beautiful widow Eleanor: responsible for the appearance of the film
Here are your acting skills.
Zak is a true character, no doubt (because the actor himself is a real Down syndrome patient);
In contrast, Shia LaBeouf, who plays the role with him, is experienced and experienced. The pairing of the two (opposing scenes) has almost no flaws, and it is not easy;
As for Dakota Johnson, although she has already stepped out of the erotic label of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series, in the play, her role setting seems to be biased towards the "vase" without too many highlights. (In short, transformation is not easy)
Plot analysis:
Step by step (step by step mode):
1. Zak pursues his dream---joins the "Saltwater Red Neck" wrestling school (it's past tense, no more brilliant)
2. Tyler is not doing his job properly, sneaking around and being condemned by others. When he was beaten, he met Zak who had escaped from the nursing home, so the two of them went together in a team.
3. Eleanor, the caretaker looking for Zak, met these two "pioneer" brave men, and was persuaded to embark on the "journey" together in a team of three
Regarding the plot, the author mentions the key points.
First of all, Zak's dream journey is intertwined with dreams and sweat.
Secondly, Tyler's own changes, especially inner changes.
Finally, Eleanor changed his mind and let Zak realize his dream.
Connotation analysis:
There is faith, hope, and love
Letter---confidence
This "confidence" comes from oneself on the one hand, and people around him on the other. How to understand it?
① Oneself, this good understanding is to have confidence in oneself.
②How do people around you explain? From the point of view of the plot, there are such three people.
The first to bear the brunt was the old man Carl, who encouraged Zak to go out and gave him confidence and strength.
The other two are Tyler and Eleanor. During the trip of the three, they witnessed Zak's persistence and hard work. It is these qualities that moved the two of them and convinced them that Zak can achieve the small goals in life.
"Around" these three people, Carl is to give "confidence", T and E are to gain "confidence", experience it carefully, and think slowly.
Hope --- Hope
What does this "hope" mean?
For Zak, there is only one hope for him-joining a wrestling school, pure and persistent.
For Tyler, his hope is to get rid of the decadent status quo and set sail for his life again. Realistic and solemn.
For Eleanor, her hopes are divided into two stages.
In the first stage, I hope I can protect and take good care of Zak and fulfill the basic duties of a caregiver.
In the second stage, I hope I can help Zak realize his dream.
Specifically, these two stages are more like (Eleanor for Zak) a cognitive process, from "superficial" to "in-depth", from the initial "simple protection" to the final "together with assistance", from "to Zak" Treat Z as a minor child to treat Z as a man with dreams and ideals. These changes have recorded people's growth from the side, and they are truly true.
Faith and hope are inseparable. If “faith” means “listening and receiving”, then “hope” means “hunting and entrusting”, and neither is indispensable.
Love---love
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous; love is not boastful or arrogant. Don't do shy things, don't ask for your own benefit, don't get angry easily, don't count people's evil, don't like unrighteousness, just like the truth; tolerate everything, believe everything, hope everything, and endure everything. Love never stops.
---"Bible" 1 Corinthians
After watching this play, the author's deepest feeling is "smelt the fragrance of love". Whether it is the "pass of love" given to Zak by others, or Tyler and Eleanor carrying love and helping Zak in the same boat, this full of positive energy not only enhances the style of the work, but also gives all the audience a warm embrace. This is " The brilliance of "love".
Faith, hope, love, confidence, hope, and more love. Only in this way can life be more meaningful and life can no longer be lonely.
summary
Some people say that there are many similarities between this work and Mark Twain’s adventure novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", indeed, but only to a certain extent, such as: the theme, the idea...only that That's it. From the author's point of view, the content of this work is closer to the New Zealand film "Hunting the Barbarians" released a few years ago. Dreaming, adventure, funny, and friendship are almost identical except for the character design.
The book is not exhaustive, so put aside the pen. The film review ends.

Actor ★★★★★ (The most realistic interpretation, the most affectionate show)
Plot ★★★★☆ (Except for Eleanor's setting is not full enough, other content is almost flawless)
Visual effects★★★★★ (Lens language, simple, delicate, beautiful)
Sound ★★★★★ (No reason to be picky)
Recommendation ★★★★★ (One of the works not to be missed this year)
