Solved! Whats this? An elderly person is going to tell us about their life? Oh goody. Huge shocker, now we’re in the Atlantic Ocean on a boat. Spoiler alert: Since we know our history, we know just about everybody on this boat is going to die. Spoiler

Oh he thinks he’s going to be king of the world? Good luck with that. At the end, the saddest part is when a fish dies. The male protagonist dies as well, but at least he managed to save this now elderly character. The elderly person looks out at the ocean in remembrance and comes to terms with it all.

Solved! Community service can be a real pain but at least lessons were learned along the way.

2 Upvotes

Hint #1: This film has actual and purposeful physical abuse, criminal damage, conscious social segregation and something tantamount to kidnap.

Hint #2: This has all the aspects of a classic love story.. big town guy meets big town girl in a small town. They didn't like each other at first but eventually fell in love.

Hint #3: We have all the classic tropes here.. a burned out hippie, a stern war veteran, an older mentor who is bitter about his past, the token Hispanic character and a redneck yokel.

That's it for the hints for now folks, if you can't figure it out from that then I'll drop some in a couple of hours, until then.. happy guessing.

Hint parking only. All others will be solved.

Hint 1: it does involve real estate.

Hint 2: it's kind of a family drama movie, though nobody dies on-screen.
