Chapter 677 It’s hard to distinguish between true and false
A piece of silence.
There was no sound at all in the entire screening room. Everyone was stunned, even the sound of breathing had been cut off.
No one expected that little Frank would choose to marry Brenda, and no one expected that little Frank would reveal all the details in front of a stranger he met for the first time, causing all the previous crimes and escapes to be in vain.
For a while, it was difficult to distinguish my emotions——
shock? stunned? Relieved? Or... bitterness and lamentation, revealing a trace of sadness?
All kinds of emotions continue to surge and pour out.
"I...I am nothing."
Little Frank tried hard to remain calm, but his slightly trembling voice still revealed the fear and fragility in his heart, and his blue eyes seemed to be able to Seeing the faint light and shadow flickering gently, he just shed his disguise layer by layer, showing his true self without any defense.
Then.
Little Frank raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him. There was no fancy, no scheming, no calculation, and he showed his sincerity clearly and brightly.
"I'm just a child who fell in love with your daughter."
The man in front of him looked into little Frank's eyes, expressionless, showing the calmness and sharpness of a lawyer, and shook his head slightly.
“No.”
He said.
The breath in the screening room was completely cut off, and as the man stood up, he became nervous, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He watched intently as the man came to sit next to Little Frank, and was as trapped as Little Frank. In the midst of chaos.
His eyes seemed to be able to see through all disguises and looked directly at little Frank.
"Do you know what you are?"
Heart, stop beating.
“You are a romantic.”
Heh.
Wait, what?
In the astonished eyes of the audience, the serious man smiled, his eyes full of relief.
“Men like us are nothing without the women we love. I must admit, I’ve had silly and strange thoughts like this.”
“Five dates with Carol Then, I proposed with no money and no money because I knew she was the one.”
He patted little Frank hard on the shoulder, making no secret of his appreciation.
Little Frank escaped once again.
However, Melvin fell into a brief confusion -
Were those words carefully crafted by Frank Jr. to escape this predicament, or were they words that Frank Jr. rarely came from sincerely? idea?
For a brief moment, Melvin believed it was the latter.
Just like when Frank Jr. called Carl on Christmas Eve, he was lonely, confused, and lost. No amount of money or parties could fill his emptiness.
He longs for sincerity.
He longed for a true self, he longed to start a family, he longed to say goodbye to the days of lying and running away and truly settle down——
He truly fell in love with Brenda , the girl who flies into the flames for love.
What I said to Brenda about getting married was true; what I said to Brenda’s father was also true.
For a brief moment, you can see little Frank's shoulders relax. The burdens and burdens that were weighing heavily on his shoulders are finally lifted. He finally finds a haven, bids farewell to his criminal life, and gets on the right track. Hold on to the life you want.
At least, that's what Melvin believed.
However.
It only lasted for a short moment, and Melvin couldn't help but become vigilant again——
Can little Frank's words really be believed?
It's not that he is suspicious, but that Frank Jr. is full of lies and is a habitual liar. He is true and false, false and true. Even his sincerity is inevitably mixed with water.
Thoughts are swaying left and right in my mind.
At this time, Melvin was finally able to understand the loneliness of little Frank. Perhaps it was because of this that after falling into such predicaments again and again, little Frank was finally tired, so he wanted to get back on track and return to Family, return to reality, and start a new life based on your own abilities. In fact, Frank Jr. did the same thing.
On the one hand, prepare for the wedding with Brenda.
Meanwhile, Frank Jr. took the Louisiana bar exam.
On December 26, 1969, on a flight from Paris to New York.
The camera brings everything back to the present moment.
Carl and Frank Jr. were on the plane. Carl couldn’t hold it back after all. “Frank, do you know what I haven’t understood?”
“How did you cheat to pass the bar exam? ”
Melvin's eyes lit up: He was also curious about this question.
Just as we are curious whether Frank Jr.’s words and actions are lies or truth, whether Frank Jr. really bids farewell to his criminal career and returns to life down to earth, what about the bar qualification exam?
Little Frank didn't understand, "Why? What's the difference?"
Carl was reluctant, "Someone took the exam for you, right?"
Little Frank, "Carl, I'm going to be in jail for a long time. Seriously, what difference does it make?"
Carl was a little depressed, "It's just a simple question."
Little Frank, "Do you want to eat that eclair?"
Carl moved the eclair in front of him stingily. Kai, "Yeah, I'll save it for later."
Little Frank, "Would you like to share some with me?"
Carl stared straight ahead.
Little Frank, "If you give me half, I'll tell you."
Carl opened the box of eclairs, deliberately watched Little Frank stuff it into his mouth, and chewed it with intoxication.
Poof.
There was a low laugh in the screening room. It is this small humorous plot that keeps the movie always relaxed. It is obviously a crime story and a sad story, but it can still be fascinating and entertaining. The effect brings the audience completely into the story.
Little Frank is serious——
About settling down.
Brenda Strong, this is the girl he wants to marry.
Because Brenda loves him and he loves Brenda; and because the Strongs are happily married and are still in love even now. Whenever little Frank sees the daily life of the Strongs, His eyes were full of shadows of his parents, and those envy and nostalgia couldn't lie.
Little Frank lived seriously, like never before.
Not only about his own life, but also about his parents' life.
When he learned that his father's tax problem was finally resolved, his father was even preparing to sue the IRS to fight back. Frank Jr. handed his father an invitation to the engagement party and prepared to invite his mother. He hoped that his father and mother could use his engagement party to reunite.
It was only at this time that little Frank knew through his father that his mother had remarried.
It was also at this time that little Frank knew that the FBI had found his father.
The FBI will not give up.
Little Frank fell into confusion, and the conversation with his father completely disrupted his thoughts. His father told him about his father, but he was still shocked by the fact that his mother had remarried.
This plunged little Frank into despair. He was about to leave, but he came back because of his father's words.
"Come here, sit down, let's have a drink. I'm your father."
With a lunge, little Frank supported the table with his left hand and stared at his father condescendingly.
"Then order me to stop."
