Character Evaluation
Jim Sheridan has a rich life experience, his works are unique, especially the grasp of the story is quite contagious
. Although he did not make so-called dazzling blockbusters that cater to American tastes, he always silently records the introspection from disadvantaged peoples and the melancholy of leaving their homes with a certain sense of alienation unique to immigrants. Although his works are not many, he used his own unique way to infect the audience and interpret the human care above family affection.
. In the movie "The Secret Scripture", Jim Sheridan returns to his film style, which is to tell a purely Irish story. Sheridan's ability lies in the ability to tell a complex and sophisticated Irish story. In this movie, this ability shines through "Popular Film", Mtime Time Network Comprehensive Review).
