A touching story, but the plot holes are impossible to ignore
This is definitely a touching movie. The bond between the father and his daughter is incredibly emotional, and there are several scenes that genuinely broke my heart. The movie knows exactly how to manipulate your emotions, and honestly, it works. đ„Č
However, once I stopped crying and started thinking about the actual plot, I realized there are way too many logical holes.
The biggest problem is that so many situations only happen because the characters conveniently behave exactly the way the script needs them to. The whole chain of events leading to the father being imprisoned feels increasingly unbelievable the more you think about it. Some characters make ridiculously questionable decisions, while certain problems could have been solved much more easily if anyone had simply communicated properly.
I also felt that the movie sometimes relies heavily on emotional manipulation to make us overlook the weaknesses in the story. The friendship between the prisoners is heartwarming, and the scenes involving the little girl are undeniably powerful, but some developments feel like they exist purely to make the audience cry rather than because they make sense within the story.
That said, I canât deny that the movie is effective emotionally. The father-daughter relationship is the heart of the entire film, and the actors do a great job selling those emotional moments. By the end, I was absolutely devastated even while thinking, âWait⊠but how does this actually make sense?â đ
So, great emotional payoff, questionable logic.
I enjoyed the experience, but I probably wouldnât call it a perfectly written movie. Bring tissues, but leave your brain at the door.
