The story is average, with a unique temperament, and it can only be read in connection with the background of the times. As far as the film itself is concerned, the plot is weak, preferring feelings rather than plots. The transformation of time and space is not obvious enough, and it will be confusing if you don't pay attention. Chattering and trivial discussions can easily make the audience tired, especially when the speed of speech is extremely fast, the thinking is divergent and implicit,...

The lament of the post-9/11 New Yorker, who understands American culture best today is Spike Lee. Life often jokes with people one way or another. Many times, we are forced by reality and have to make some reluctant choices. Maybe you struggled at first, maybe slowly you learn to adapt. But one day a few years later, will reality suddenly drop you to the bottom and feel like playing a ridiculous joke on you. You suddenly find that you don't have the courage to endure the consequences of your...

#filmreview# How sexy is Uncle Norton with a dog. When he arrives at the prison, he will definitely be thrown down by hungry wolves. No matter how many pustules hang on his face, the west is just a dream of the old man. Reality is painful and...

The process of watching a movie is the process of growing up. I used to watch some movies when I was a child, but I couldn’t understand it, because it revolved around a very small thing from the beginning to the end. I always felt that the movie time was limited and I should do a lot of things. I understand that the movie is just a carrier. There is a tiger in the heart, and the rose is sniffed. How to express it depends entirely on the subject matter. This is the case with this movie. It’s...

■ all the way west
In the last ten minutes of the movie [25th Hour], Monty's mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
He got into his dad's car and went to jail -- life would go on, but not the way he expected. Not the one he once cared about.
In the dignified music,... -

Only when you have lost can you truly know how to cherish and possess
The big drug lord of the past has now lost all his anger, and has become unusually perverse. His expression between his eyebrows seems to have reached his twilight years. What has changed him? I am afraid that only the fear of losing freedom, losing family members, and losing friends can burst out...

Uncle Nikolai: I tattooed "survive" on my hand the night before I went away to prison. And I did. We do what we have to do to survive.

[On imagining an alternate ending for Monty]
James Brogan: We'll drive. Keep driving. Head out to the middle of nowhere, take that road as far as it takes us. You've never been west of Philly, have ya? This is a beautiful country, Monty, it's beautiful out there, like a different world. Mountains, hills, cows, farms, and white churches. I drove out west with your mother one time, before you was born. Brooklyn to the Pacific in three days. Just enough money for gas, sandwiches, and coffee, but we made it. Every man, woman, and child alive should see the desert one time before they die. Nothin' at all for miles around. Nothin' but sand and rocks and cactus and blue sky. Not a soul in sight. No sirens. No car alarms. Nobody honkin' atcha. No madmen cursin' or pissin' in the streets. You find the silence out there, you find the peace. You can find God. So we drive west, keep driving till we find a nice little town. These towns out in the desert, you know why they got there? People wanted to get way from somewhere else. The desert's for startin' over. Find a bar and I'll buy us drinks. I haven't had a drink in two years, but I'll have one with you, one last whisky with my boy. Take our time with it, taste the barley, let it linger. And then I'll go. I'll tell you don't ever write me, don't ever visit, I'll tell you I believe in God's kingdom and I'll see you and your mother again, but not in this lifetime. You'll get a job somewhere, a job that pays cash, a boss who doesn't ask questions, and you make a new life and you never come back. Monty, people like you, it's a gift, you'll make friends wherever you go. You're going to work hard, you're going to keep your head down and your mouth shut. You're going to make yourself a new home out there. You're a New Yorker, that won't ever change. You got New York in your bones. Spend the rest of your life out west but you're still a New Yorker. You'll miss your friends, you'll miss your dog, but you're strong. You got your mother's backbone in you, you're strong like she was. You find the right people, and you get yourself papers, a driver's license. You forget your old life, you can't come back, you can't call, you can't write. You never look back. You make a new life for yourself and you live it, you hear me? You live your live the way it should have been. But maybe, this is dangerous, but maybe after a few years you send word to Naturelle. You get yourself a new family and you raise them right, you hear me? Give them a good life, Monty. Give them what they need. You have a son, maybe you name him James, it's a good strong name, and maybe one day years from now years after I'm dead and gone reunited with your dear ma, you gather your whole family around and tell them the truth, who you are, where you come from, you tell them the whole story. Then you ask them if they know how lucky there are to be there. It all came so close to never happening. This life came so close to never happening.
