100 Courage to Live
The next morning, Frank invited a professional tailor to customize his suit. It can be seen that he was in a very clear mood. But relatively speaking, Charlie was in a bad mood because he called George and found that George was enjoying his life and had never thought about any solutions at all. He just asked Charlie to abide by their agreement.
Frank keenly speculated that George Willis's father must have been called this name, that is George Willis I, and he thought George would definitely tell his father.
However, Charlie retorted that they agreed not to tell their parents. Faced with such naive Charlie, Frank ridiculed, "If you don't say it now, you will end up watching a convenience store in Oregon for the rest of your life." But Charlie didn't believe it at all. "There are two types of people in this world, people who are responsible and those who are looking for a backer, it's better to backer."
Frank used the reason for Thanksgiving dinner to persuade Charlie to stay, and then took Charlie to his elder brother's house. Frank did not tell his elder brother Willie that he would visit, which scared the Willie family. Obviously, this uninvited guest was unwelcome.
Sure enough, during the meal, Frank talked endlessly about his love and encounter, while everyone else was silent. The atmosphere was so awkward that Charlie could hardly bear it. So Willy's son Randy broke out. Randy spoke rude to Frank, and uncovered everyone's scars, completely ruining Thanksgiving dinner. Charlie tried to stop Randy, but was also implicated. Randy told Frank's previous experience.
Frank was promoted to general several times, but every time he ruined his chance because of Frank's outspoken mouth. In the end, Frank missed the incident because of drunkenness and accidentally pulled the grenade seal in a practical class, which led to Frank's blindness in both eyes.
Looking at the lost and lonely Frank, Charlie knew that Frank actually wanted to find the warmth of his family, but unfortunately he failed. No one in the family welcomed him, whether it was his brother Willie, his nephews, including the Rose family who took him in. After creating a mess, Frank took Charlie back to the hotel.
After a night of calm, Charlie woke up the next day and saw Frank assembling his pistol, which made Charlie realize that Frank said he was going to commit suicide might be true. Charlie took out the phone number left by Mrs. Ross, and he planned to notify her, but Frank snatched away the paper from Charlie's hand and swallowed it directly.
This angered Charlie, who wanted to leave all this and go home, but Frank surrendered, "All I need is just one more day. I'm very familiar with New York, but occasionally I need someone to point me in the direction. How about it, Charlie, give my friends another day?"
Charlie also softened his heart. He asked Frank to hand over the pistol, but Frank was unwilling to do so. Charlie could only take a step back and leave Frank's bullet. Frank disdained Charlie's persistence, "Do you have a conscience? I forgot, Charlie's conscience! If you want to say it, or don't say it? Should you obey the rich young men? Should you let this blind bastard die? Conscience? Charlie, when did you come back? Age of the Round Table Warriors? Haven't you heard of it? Conscience is dead! Grow up!"
Facing Frank's roar, Charlie was speechless.
Frank took Charlie into a hotel for afternoon tea, where they met a young girl. Frank took the initiative to take Charlie to meet him. Frank invited the girl named Donna to dance a tango together. Donna nodded and agreed. Although Frank was blind, he took Donna to dance gracefully on the dance floor, as if there was no obstacle. His steps were light, enthusiastic, wonderful, flowing, and wonderful. The enjoyment on Frank's face was full of restraint, gentleness and happiness, and even Donna had the most beautiful smile.
Looking at this scene, a thin layer of water mist was covered in Charlie's eyes, and a bright smile appeared. Many viewers at the scene were even more applauded. This short tango was destined to become a classic, and the suffocating and wonderful steps left a deep mark in their minds.
After the song ended, Donna was quickly taken away by the man she was waiting for, and the glory on Frank's face dimmed in an instant.
That night, Frank made an appointment with a high-prostitute and walked to the gentle country gracefully and cautiously. Charlie, who was waiting in the car, called George again, and found that Frank's words had come true. George really told his father, and also told him a lot of high-sounding reasons. George was going home now and discussing solutions with his father. This disappointed Charlie very much.
But Frank, who returned from the gentle land, seemed very disappointed. Frank, who had been vibrant the next day, did not get up early in the morning, but lay in depressed until the afternoon, which made Charlie very worried. Even if Charlie told Frank about George, Frank couldn't get up. Frank even offered to let Charlie leave, and he was willing to provide the air ticket fee. Frank knew that he would be alone in the end and no one could stay with him.
Charlie realized that Frank was depressed and could end his life at any time. So Charlie was smart and asked to take Frank out for a ride with him, which made Frank cheer up.
In the car shop, Frank tried every means to convince the salesperson and let them drive out for a ride in a red Ferrari. So, Charlie, who had no driver's license, drove away from the car shop. But Charlie's careful driving style obviously could not meet Frank's adrenaline needs. In desperation, Charlie drove to the Brooklyn Bridge near the Brooklyn Bridge, which was a remote city with no vehicles or pedestrians, and then Frank sat in the driver's seat.
After sitting in the driver's seat, Frank finally cheered up. He began to accelerate, constantly speeding up, increasing Ferrari's speed to the extreme. He was not even satisfied with driving in a straight line, and tried a drifting turn. Although Charlie was frightened and nervous, the exciting adventure finally made Frank smile again.
Seeing this scene, the audience in the cinema was almost scared to death. It can be imagined that Charlie's heartbeat was sitting in the passenger seat. However, the speeding caused Frank to be stopped by the police car. However, the person sitting in the passenger seat did not have a driver's license, and the person sitting in the driver's seat was not only not a driver's license, but also a blind man. Such a crisis situation made people sweat a coldly. However, the calm Frank was concealed by the situation. Not only was he not noticed that he was blind, he also successfully passed the patrolman's level and made the patrolman turn around and leave. This ability is really admirable.
But after leaving the driver's seat, Frank completely collapsed. He crossed the road, knocked out the trash can, and even wanted to urinate directly on the road. Finally, he fell into the green belt in a mess. After returning to the hotel, Frank sent Charlie away, changed into his military uniform, and prepared to commit suicide by swallowing a gun.
But when Charlie walked to the hotel lobby, he noticed the lieutenant colonel's intention and returned. Charlie tried to persuade the lieutenant colonel to hand over the pistol to himself, but the stubborn lieutenant colonel was unwilling and even threatened to kill Charlie and then commit suicide. In desperation, Charlie could only take the risk of using strong force to try to steal the lieutenant colonel's gun, which caused the two people to have physical conflict.
At this moment, all emotions burst out completely.
Frank yelled at Charlie angrily, but this time Charlie did not give in. He still fought back toughly, "You messed up, so what? Everyone will make mistakes, you should move forward bravely, right?"
"What are you going forward!" The lieutenant colonel's hoarse and fierce voice interrupted Charlie's words and roared angrily, "I have no life anymore! I live in the darkness! Do you understand?" The lieutenant colonel's roar was like a wounded beast, "I live in the darkness!"
Charlie's eyes were covered with a mist, but he was still unwilling to give up, "Then give up! Just give up on yourself... because I'm going to give up too." Charlie's young face was filled with fearless light, and his eyes were unprecedentedly firm, "You're right, I'm done, we're done, there's no hope. So just do it like this! You...him, mom, pull the trigger! You're sad blind man!"
Charlie's words made the lieutenant colonel's facial color slightly gray, and he couldn't say anything. Charlie gave another fatal blow, "Tip the trigger!"
"Prepare, Charlie!" Lieutenant Colonel raised his right hand pistol.
Charlie gasped quickly, but his words were still as firm as his expression, "I'm ready!" But facing the fear of death, his eyes were covered with a thin mist.
Lieutenant Colonel noticed Charlie's fluctuation, "You don't want to die!"
"You don't want to." Charlie also saw through the lieutenant colonel's heart. This was the first time he had truly talked with the lieutenant colonel on an equal position in his long time.
"Give me a reason." The lieutenant colonel was still unwilling to let go.
"I'll give you two." Charlie thought for a moment, pursing his dry lips, "You can dance tango, and you drive a Ferrari better than anyone I've ever seen."
This actually made the lieutenant colonel breathe a sigh of relief, but he still said, "You haven't seen anyone do these two things before, right?"
"Give me the gun." Charlie insisted and was unwilling to retreat.
Charlie's determination finally made the lieutenant colonel shaken. He held his gun in a swaying manner and whispered, "Oh, what should I do, Charlie."
"If you trip, continue to tango." The mist in Charlie's eyes gradually gathered into tears, and his eyes began to turn red.
"Are you inviting me to dance? Charlie." Lieutenant Colonel said this softly, and then began to hum softly, "'You never thought of leaving, and you were eager to stay in your heart'..." His left hand gradually loosened Charlie's collar.
The freed Charlie finally couldn't bear the weight and slid down, which was for the revenge of his life. It was also because the lieutenant colonel finally regained his rationality and that he really gave up the idea of suicide. Charlie didn't want to cry at all, but the tears kept slid down like this, making his eyes look unprecedentedly clear.
