Strange tale of bad choices. It felt hopeless. No sense of comeback. Amazing how well it may resonate with a real situation where one gives in to vices and loses everything. Mistake after mistake. It's almost like a cautionary tale.

Yep. But it's also about self-reflection, redemption, and getting a second chance despite all these bad choices/mistakes.

We're only human. If you have regrets, shame, or feelings of guilt, you're capable of changing for the better by recognizing those faults.

Only if you confront those fears and problems head on you can live a life without being afraid, instead of running away from everyone and everything. 😊

Yeah, at the end there was a hint of hope. But I was doubtful. I try not to fall for wishful thinking. Maybe it's my Eastern mindset that it's hard to start over from scratch.

I think second chances and redemption are deeply American values. To believe one can get somewhere from nowhere. A migrant who can't speak English but works hard eventually gets somewhere in America.

It felt like the green leaf on the tree in the second act of Waiting for Godot. Nothing changes for the better overnight but there are always hints of things getting better before you think it can go worse..

Yeah, he is and I hear ya, but that’s his character. Despite his flaws and everything he does wrong, he still finds redemption in the end. That goes to show you that people may need a second chance and can change for the good. Not always though… someone previously mentioned, he should’ve gotten eaten by the monster. lol xD! πŸ€£πŸ˜‚
