Manchester by the Sea 2.
Dean's attempt to end his life ended in failure, and there seems to be no end to the road to atonement for it. The wife could not forgive Dean's mistake and left him. Dean, who was in ashes, lost everything, and his soul had long since perished in the fire.
He moves to Boston alone, lonely like a soulless wild dog, waking up from heart-wrenching memories and the chance to have custody again makes Dean unable to let go. The brother's inheritance has a small boat with an aging engine, Dean wants to sell the boat and take his nephew Cage to live in Boston, but Cage is reluctant to sell the boat because the boat carries too many good memories for the three.
He still remembers the happy times when his father drove a boat and he fished with Uncle Dean as a child. After returning home, Dean received a call from his ex-wife. The ex-wife asked about her brother's funeral and said she was pregnant again. Dean hung up the phone in confusion. The funeral of the brother went ahead as scheduled. The ex-wife brought his current husband to attend. Looking at the pregnant ex-wife, it seems that all of them have started a new life, only Dean is stuck in the quagmire of life.
After the funeral, I learned from the funeral home staff that because the winter land was too hard to excavate, my brother's burial would be postponed until spring. During this period, the remains of the older brother could only be stored in the freezer. Cage didn't want his father's bones to freeze for so long, but he could only help. In the evening, Cage opened the refrigerator to find something and slid out boxes of frozen chicken.
Cage scrambled to close the refrigerator, but couldn't close the damn refrigerator door. Cage howled inexplicably.
He remembered his father in the freezer, it turned out that he was not without feelings about his father's death, and the carefree disguise was just hiding the tearing heart behind it. Cage's heart at this moment is like the refrigerator door that can't be closed, and he can no longer get back together, and he hopes that his father will be buried under the warm land as soon as possible.
As an uncle, Dean stayed by Cage's side all night. Dean wants to move to Boston with Cage, but how can Cage be willing to leave everything here? Here are his playmates, and his girlfriends.
Dean tried to find work in Manchester and visited acquaintances in Manchester. Because the previous disaster made him notorious, no one wanted to hire him, and the collapse was like a flood of open floodgates, and no amount of resistance could stop them from coming. He thought that as long as he was stuck in the quagmire and did not look forward, he could spend the rest of his life in confusion, without having to feel the pain of the wound that had healed being opened.
He turned out to be wrong, he thought he had forgotten, but reality told him that any clue would make him involuntarily remember, perhaps seeing Dean's predicament.
Cage finds Dean, and his mother, whom he hasn't seen for years, recontacts him and says he can move in with her, which Dean can't accept. Because Cage's mother is an out-and-out scumbag, drunk all day, and left her seriously ill husband to abandon her family and flee away. Although Dean resisted in his heart, he still couldn't bear to refuse Cage, and he sent Cage to his mother.
By this time, the mother had remarried, and this lunch was not as good as Cage imagined, and they could not hide their familiarity with each other, and strangeness and embarrassment filled the house. After parting, the stepfather quietly sent an email to Cage, suggesting not to disturb their lives. Cage's stepfather's hypocrisy frustrates Cage, and Dean feels Cage's loss.
His closed heart seemed to melt something. Dean sold several guns in his collection and used the money to replace the boat with an engine. Cage took his girlfriend out to sea with him, watching the little man and woman frolic on the boat, and Dean had a long-lost smile on his face. It seems that the previous darkness dissipates as the sun rises.
