    Character Evaluation

    The advantage of "The Light Between Oceans" is the director's presentation of "natural romance", and it also shows Derek Cianfrance's ability to control complex love stories . 
    Derek Cianfrance is different from other filmmakers who made their fortunes from independent film circles and were eventually included in mainstream films. His films have always been filled with a sad and gloomy tone. He can dig out the side of Opie and Michelle Ingrid Williams' "literary and artistic films" without letting the film be led by the nose by the actors . He is good at Australian-style sensationalism, and is also very good at controlling works such as "Blue Valentine" , and his speaking style is slow .

      Each of us could be Dominic or Thomas.

      Perhaps the only people who will resonate with this show are those who are actually in their 40s and have had a similar experience.

      Those people must not be in the minority.

      As life goes on, some people unknowingly deviate from the track. Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, mental illness in the...

      endure or bear

      This limited drama of HBO's religious background is niche but attractive.

      The world is so complex, difficult, and sinister, yet people are so deeply connected to each other - it's true.

      A pure "good spirit" like Thomas, because of the mental disorder and more thorough religious piety, must be more...

      Finally finished it. This story is from a completely male perspective, and the author repeatedly struggles with his patriarchal identity and tries to connect (but fails) with the destiny of the country, which is boring. It's very cunning to forgive Ray and myself so happily. |It's been three episodes, and I still can't empathize with the protagonist. His life has been blasted to the end. He never saw his biological father at birth, his stepfather was domestic violence, his mother died of illness and premature death, his twin brother was schizophrenic and he chopped off his hands, his daughter died suddenly in a newborn after three weeks, and he and his wife could not survive this hurdle for a year. married later. But these pains come from within, turning people into a pressure cooker that keeps heating up with all the vents blocked. I don't mean to be miserable, but these pains of the protagonist are personal and individual. Even people who have the same experience (such as the Anonymous Meeting for Parents of Sudden Newborn Death he went to) are difficult to intervene and understand. Not to mention soothing each other. Against this background, it is easier for people to feel the pressure from the outside world, such as women, sexual minorities, disabilities, ethnic groups, beliefs, etc.

      This film discusses how a person walks out of the shadow of his past self, the darkness of his family, how to return to life after being destroyed, and the link between blood ties
