Chương 73: The Man without Gravity II

Boy Oscar can now walk the streets as long as weights are stashed in his pockets.

A film would be a film without something to disrupt the staleness. Thus, Oscar is then bumped by a little girl carrying groceries.

Separated from his mother and guilt-tripped by the girl, Oscar carries two bottles of water to help the girl.

They walk and talk. Unfortunately, the heaviness of the water bottles tires him and he ditches his weights.

By the time they reach the girl's house, only the water bottles hold him to the ground.

After a scuffle between the two kids regarding the water bottles, Oscar loses out and reveals his weightless ability.

He floats up but luckily gets saved by the roof. While little girl Agatha assumes that he has superpowers and considers him to be a superhero.

The girl-boy friendship begins with fun and games. The girl promises to keep his secret a secret and giver him her pink backpack to help him stay on the ground.

They had some good times only to be cut short by the mother and grandmother's hysterical worries.

No matter how many times Agatha comes for a visit or sends an invitation to her home, Natalia brushes it off by saying Oscar is busy, with a fever, or doing homework.

Agatha's grandma guardian is alarmed and the whole neighborhood is alarmed.

It gets to the point that authorities had to step in. They didn't know about Oscar's weightlessness though, they only ask that the boy have proper education and go to school.

Mother and Grandma had no choice but to comply and were in between worry and ease. Only to run away as they find out that bags are to be left outside the classrooms.

Worried about the truth eventually coming out, they move to a remote location in the mountains, and the two little best friends separate.

A few years later, Grandma Alina has passed away and Oscar is now an adult who is constantly wearing the gifted pink bag to keep him in the ground.

Fed up with his bland life, Oscar ventures into society and decides to embrace his specialness by joining a television show that explores special talent.

America's Got Talent and all those TV shows don't exist yet, so Alexander simply gave a shoddy talent show with obscure talent scenes to fill the necessity of it all.

When it was pink bagged Oscar's turn, he just simply dropped the pink bag and awed the on-site audience and the people who are set to see the show

Director Bruno simply and complicatedly used the erase-the-wire trick to do the weightless camera magic. The scene was much simpler than the blanketed ceiling effect and the floating baby with an umbilical cord stuck to it.

Mother and Grandma's worries were debunked as people considered Oscar as an angel sent from above.

Oscar finds himself a somewhat trusty manager and agent, which kickstarts his rise and plastering into honored publications under the moniker of - The Man without Gravity.

With all the celebrity status, shows, and interviews, it is then revealed that Oscar has a simple goal in doing all of those things.

The man simply wants a written publication about himself, essentially a biography.

Too bad that things don't go his way as his rich housing wouldn't allow his mother on it.

His old house and stuff become displayed as a museum.

In the end, he becomes bored of life in the spotlight of becoming a money printer.

Even the publishers that would make his wanted biography are just another moneymaking scheme that twisted the truth about himself.

Left with no choice and his manager being an unexpectedly good guy, they fake his death and Oscar lives in another alias.

His new life leads him to a job in a prostitution motel where his mother previously worked while wearing his trusty pink backpack and disguising himself as a disabled in a wheelchair that goes by the name Desky.

It was all and well for him as he is incognito but it all ends when a new prostitute recognizes him and calls him Oscar.

It is revealed that the new girl is his childhood friend Agatha, who recognized him through the familiar pink bag that once belong to her.

They eventually reconnect and develop mature feelings with one another. It was not smooth sailing though as Oscar is still conflicted with his special life while Agatha is ashamed of her profession.

The duo who deeply loves each other eventually separate with Oscar as Desky returns to his old home slash former museum.

He was set up for a bland life once again only to have his door knocked on by Agatha. They let go of their insecurities and pursued a happy life together.

Agatha is with child while Oscar earns his keep as a window cleaner.

He lives his childhood dream as he dressed up as a shoddy Batman to bring joy to elderlies in retirement while ingeniously using rope and his floating power to reach great heights on buildings.

It was the final scene before the credits and made some comic readers chuckle. Batman having levitation powers is not something that they were expecting.

In the end, the premiere audience was in a standing ovation as the gripping and marvelous story gave them a heartwarming feeling.

Even the hidden critics in the crowd had some favorable comments in their notes.

The Man without Gravity had his body set up to always soar but has many regretful ups and downs in his life.

Finally, he learned to accept himself, let go of the high life, and found happiness in the most mundane of things.

The Creeds' fourth film finished its debut with a heartwarming and innovative concept to show to the world.

Competition and oppression still set the rating of the film in R because of the mild prostitution stuff and mild happiness between Agatha and Oscar.

Alexander didn't worry much though because the unfair rating is within expectations and earning a profit from it would still be a considerable guarantee.

After a simple interaction and show of gratitude to those who attended, the premiere crowd eventually receded to make way for the pleasantries with the production crew and patting themselves on the back for a job well done.

Still not losing hope, Alexander scanned for some stubborn stayers to see if they have some beef to deal with them.
