00:00Hello, the movie is here.
00:02Today, we are reviewing a movie from 2021, called Palmer.
00:10The story is about Eddie Palmer, a retired high school student and a former criminal who just finished a 12-year prison sentence.
00:17He was released from prison, so he wants to start a new life by moving in with his grandmother Vivian.
00:23She also takes care of a brilliant 8-year-old boy named Sam, who is the son of her neighbor Shelly, a drug addict.
00:30In addition, Sam has a feminine personality and prefers things such as dresses, princesses and teapots over traditional male activities.
00:38Vivian really liked him because his parents didn't pay much attention to Sam, especially when they were away from home.
00:44The next day, Palmer goes around the city looking for a new job.
00:48Unfortunately, he still can't find a job because of the status of a former criminal.
00:53And not only that, other people are still talking about his past, even when he prays in church.
00:58Later, Vivian gives him some money to buy souvenirs before he leaves home to find another job.
01:04When Palmer finishes shopping, he accidentally sees that a contest for workers at the shelter is open,
01:09but one of the store managers says that the contest is canceled, as if he wants to gently reject Palmer.
01:14He gets even angrier when Vivian accuses him of taking the rest of the money earlier.
01:18As a result, he decides to get drunk and luckily finds another job at the local school where Sam is.
01:25The next morning, he goes to the school to apply for a job.
01:28Then he meets with the principal and principal of the school.
01:31At first, the principal still rejects him because of his status,
01:34but in the end, he accepts him after he asks for a second chance to become a better person.
01:39Soon, Palmer, Vivian and Sam have dinner together.
01:43Then Vivian apologizes to him because it turned out that she picked the wrong shirt yesterday.
01:47Apart from being a housewife at school, Palmer also helps Vivian to take care of Sam at school,
01:51because Shelly left the city several times with her violent son Jerry.
01:56One day, Palmer feels very sad after he discovers that Vivian has moved into his bedroom.
02:02Because of that, he is forced to become Sam's temporary guardian until Shelly returns home.
02:07At the same time, Palmer feels uncomfortable because of Sam's behavior, because he doesn't behave like a boy at all.
02:12He immediately takes Sam to the police station and confesses him to the police.
02:16Later, he also reports Sam's parents for harassing the child for two weeks.
02:21However, all his work is destroyed after he thinks for the second time that he feels bad because of Sam,
02:26and in the end he returns home.
02:28The relationship between the two has improved over time.
02:31Sam always follows Palmer wherever he goes.
02:33The news about Sam, who now lives in Palmer's house, spread to the school,
02:37including Sam's teacher, Maggie.
02:40Because of that, she visits Palmer's house to see how Sam is doing.
02:44She thanks Palmer because he wants to take care of Sam after his parents left him.
02:49She also gives her phone number in case Palmer needs help around Sam.
02:54A little later, Palmer develops a closer friendship with the boy
02:57and takes him to a high school football game and to collect money for gambling.
03:01Later, he also develops a relationship with Maggie.
03:04As their relationship becomes better,
03:06Palmer spends every day just like his father and son,
03:08taking Sam to school every day,
03:10celebrating birthdays and hanging out together in cafes.
03:13In addition, Palmer also does not forget to report all his recent activities to the police,
03:18because his status is still conditional.
03:21However, all these moments of happiness are surprised to change
03:24when Palmer reads Vivian's will.
03:26Palmer was certainly very surprised when he read her will.
03:30What's more, Vivian's lawyer tells Palmer
03:32that after selling the house, he will have 30 days to move out of the house.
03:36He will also get only $ 5,000 from the sale of the house.
03:40One night, Palmer and Sam have fun for the night at Maggie's house.
03:44After Sam falls asleep, the two of them talk about their past.
03:48At that moment, Maggie asks why Palmer ended up in prison.
03:52Then he tells Maggie about his past,
03:54discovering that after a promising career in high school,
03:57he got hurt in a game while playing for the State University of Louisiana.
04:01As a result, he had to retire early as an American football player due to serious injury.
04:06After he became depressed because he lost his scholarship and left college,
04:10he began to drug himself at home.
04:12When the money began to run out,
04:14he decided to help his friends rob a rich family in the city.
04:18The house was supposed to be empty,
04:20but the owner suddenly returned to the house
04:22and Palmer beat him to death with a baseball bat.
04:25The police eventually caught him and sent him to prison.
04:29After that, Maggie convinced Palmer
04:31that even though it was his behavior then,
04:33now he turned into a good man,
04:35showing all the good things he did in Sam's life.
04:38One day, Sam comes home from his friend's house,
04:41crying with makeup smeared all over his face.
04:43Palmer believes that it was done by one of Sam's classmates,
04:46so he forces Sam to return.
04:48However, Sam tells him that it was actually one of Palmer's friends.
04:52Feeling angry, Palmer finally finds his friend in the bar
04:56and immediately beats him,
04:58telling him to never mistreat Sam again.
05:01The next day, Shelly unexpectedly returns home and comes for Sam.
05:05Palmer can only keep quiet and can't do anything,
05:08because in the end, Shelly is his biological mother.
05:11Shortly after Sam moved in with his mother,
05:14Palmer is surprised when the Children's Protection Service
05:17comes to take Sam out of the house.
05:19He immediately follows the order
05:21and tries to accept Sam's old age,
05:23but is rejected because of his mental illness
05:25and the uncertainty of his current life situation.
05:28He even tries to get Sam's old age in another way,
05:31by later molesting Shelly.
05:33He asks her to report him to the police
05:35so that Palmer could become Sam's legal guardian.
05:38Unfortunately, Shelly insists on rejecting his request
05:41and asks him to leave her house.
05:43At court, Maggie follows Palmer
05:45and tries to convince the judge to accept his request as Sam's guardian.
05:49A few moments later, Shelly is surprised to come to court
05:52and it is her turn to convince the judge
05:54that she will take good care of Sam.
05:56Despite Palmer's requests earlier,
05:58the judge finally orders Sam to reunite with his mother.
06:01Later, Palmer hears a fight in Sam's house
06:04and witnesses how Jerry brutally abuses Shelly and Sam.
06:07He immediately intervenes and sees
06:09that Shelly and Jerry are making friends in front of Sam.
06:12Then he attacks Jerry and runs away with the boy
06:14as fast as he could.
06:16Shelly calls the police and Palmer is accused of kidnapping Sam.
06:19Soon after, Maggie calls Palmer to tell him
06:21that he is currently being chased by the police.
06:23Hearing this, she decides to return Sam to Shelly.
06:26Upon arriving at the scene, the police arrest him and take him away.
06:30In the meantime, Sam tries to fight the police
06:33and chases the police car,
06:35crying that he would rather be with Palmer than with his mother.
06:38The next morning, Shelly refuses to file a complaint against Palmer
06:41after she saw Sam's love for Palmer last night.
06:44Then she meets with Sam
06:46and in tears says that it's okay if he wants to go with Palmer.
06:49Therefore, Shelly decides to give Palmer custody of Sam
06:53because she can't take good care of Sam in her current state.
06:56She also promises that she will undergo rehabilitation
06:59so that later on she could be a good parent for Sam.
07:02At the end of the film, Palmer and Sam see
07:04how they manage to sell Vivian's house
07:06because since then they have lived with Maggie.
