At the climax of the movie, when the brothers swim across the strait, I can't help but think of a classic aviation joke:
One day, a group of pilots went to visit the Aerospace Museum, and one pilot complained: "Now that the aerospace engine is so advanced, why do we have to endure such a backward aeroengine!" The venue tour guide replied: "Because the aerospace engine is not responsible for the sent back."
The protagonist Jerome is such a person who never thinks about "how to come back" when things are done. He is like a space engine, always flying upwards and always taking risks. What he seeks is the process of ascension itself, not the state of being in the air. At first glance, this is exciting. Jerome looks up at the starry sky in the rocket, and with the sound effect of the rocket launch, one has to be in awe of this dream chaser. However, if you observe more carefully, you will find that the director has hidden another "space engine" type character in the film, and he did not realize his dream in the end.
He was the aging space program director.
The project director, like the protagonist, is a lurker with amazing acting skills. After killing people, he is calm. The protagonist occasionally panics and shows his tricks. The motivation of the project director is much stronger than that of the protagonist - if the project director fails, he will face a life of failure. Driven by death, the undetected violent gene of the project director is activated. It is also unscrupulous to pursue the dream, the project director gave up rationality, gave up the bottom line, and thus failed.
And Jerome's bottom line is also constantly broken in the process of chasing dreams, sawing off his legs to increase his height, enduring obsessive-compulsive disorder without treatment, beating the police to escape pursuit... We can speculate that if Jerome Continuing to pursue bigger dreams, the result is roughly the same as the director. Like this endless chasing process of rising, the best ending may be like a space engine, at the moment when it reaches space, the last flowers bloom at the tail.
