Thinking about Pjo Zeus trying to subtly get rid of his children as soon as they pose too much of a threat like my Thalia headcannon. And how Jason cannot fly but rather control the winds underneath him. So say he's in the air one day, where he's supposed to be safe, in his dad's domain, when all of a sudden the winds stop listening to him and he's powerless with nothing to do but pray desperately for his dad to help, only to remain unheard as he falls to his inevitable demise.

The movie begins with Jack and his mother, Joy, live in a closed room. The room consists of 1 bed, toilet, bathtub, and a kitchen. The room also has closet, wherein, Jack also called it as his bed. Their only window is the skylight. Old Nick is Jack's biological father and the one who imprisoned the 2 in the room. He imprisoned Joy 7 years before and raped her every night when Jack is sleeping inside the closet. Joy told her son that the only real is what's inside their room.

Old Nick heard the sound of the toy car in the closet, in which, Jack accidentally touched the remote control and seduced Jack to come out the closet with a candy. Joy was so scared that he might di something bad to Jack so he called Nick to go to bed. That night, Jack was really curious and went outside the closet while Old Nick and Joy was sleeping. When Joy saw his son interacting with Nick she slaps Nick away.

On the morning, Old Nick cuts the heater in the room as their punishment. Joy also started to tell Jack what's outside their room. That the oceans, trees, and other people that Jack only see on television are also outside their room. Jack was so confused and his head is full of questions that time.

1. What life lessons can be learned from the movie?

If there's a wheel, there's a way. If you really want to achieve something in life, then you must do it with all our heart even if someone will hurt as long as you want it, then you can achieve it.

2. What part of the story told by the movie was the most powerful? Why?

I really like the line that was said by Jack: "I need to send it(hair) to Ma. She needs more strong more than me."

I really felt the love of Jack to his mother. He can sacrifice to cut his hair just to see his mother to be strong again.

3. Who was your favorite character in the movie? Why?

Though, my favorite character has only small parts in the movie, she really captivated my heart. Joy's mother is one of a kind woman and a parent. She really accepts what happened to Joy and Jack not just like her husband. I really like the way she welcomed the 2 in their residence without any questions from what happened for the past few years.

4. Did anything happened in the movie, reminds you of something that has occured in your life or others?

The part when Jack decided to cut his hair and wanted to give his hair to his mom so that his mom will gain strength just by seeing his hair, wherein he doesn't want to cut it because it is his source of strength, reminds me of a scenario. I remember sacrificing my source of happiness just to fill in someone's happiness.

5. If you have given a chance to ask a character in this movie a question, what would it be?

I would like to ask old Nick. I will ask him why did he locked Jack and Jack's mother in a room. What is his purpose in locking them?
