In "The Promise of Childhood", the mother's optimism in hard times and selfless love and encouragement to her children make people cry. Gary once said: "Humans tried to give fate some form and meaning. The gods were jealous of it and chased me fiercely, leaving me black and blue, with bloody wounds everywhere, but the gods knew nothing about my love. They forgot to cut this umbilical cord. I survived. My mother's will, courage and vitality are continuously input into my body and continue to feed me. " In his works, love becomes a spark in darkness and conveys hope in despair. This force is like a trickle, spanning mountains and seas and time. His works are full of the pursuit of freedom and justice, permeated with the spirit of humanism and optimism, and focus on revealing all kinds of disasters faced by human civilization and condemning "fraud, lies and hypocrisy".

People marvel at Roman worship? At the same time, Gary saw the efforts behind him and his mother's encouragement and expectation, even family kidnapping and extreme desire for control. He felt more Roman? Gary seems to live for his mother. Children like painting, and their mother thinks that painters can't see the future, so she tries her best to stop them. When her son became interested in literature, she always called to ask where the article was published. When the war broke out, my mother asked Roman to assassinate Hitler. She felt that Roman was a sharpshooter since he was a child and would succeed ... "I did everything she asked, everything, but it was meaningless." She left without knowing anything. She knew nothing when she died. She doesn't know anything. She will never know that I kept my promise. "
The film "The Promise of Childhood" records the hardships and glory of the screenwriter in this life, which runs through his mother's education and influence all the time, lamenting that maternal love is really great! However, maternal love overflows to the extent of control and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even if a son succeeds, he will suffocate and have side effects. Perhaps this is why such an excellent person, after suffering from depression, lacks a guide like his mother, leading to Roman? Why did Gary shoot himself?
There is no explanation in the film, and I think the answer can only be in the wind. ...
