    There are a lot of things that touched me, and part of the reason may be that I just read Stranger in Homeland recently, so I have more understanding and empathy for the southern state. However, this is precisely the biggest problem with the adaptation of this film. In a polarized public opinion environment, especially in Hollywood, the stronghold of the left, everyone has no empathy for life in conservative towns, so the film needs more Instead of putting emphasis on the role of mother, it...

    If you have walked through some Ghost Towns in Australia, found a lot of heroin needles in public toilets, and spent five days with the locals in the small town of Carnarvon in Western Australia, you will understand these people. character formation and behavior. I most appreciate that the male protagonist has changed his destiny by relying on himself, and he does not use his original family as an excuse to hinder him, and even saves his family in the...

    The original is one of my favorite memoirs, and the movie adds some drama, but delivers the gist well. These shitty family problems of white Americans have been passed down from generation to generation, and the impact of trying to get out of the original family is such a struggle. The actor's restoration degree is 100...

    Because word of mouth lowered expectations, I was very satisfied with Ron Howard's new work after reading it. The production of this film can be said to be watertight, that is, Ron Howard's very stable control. But the low score is not without reason, because this is a film about the people in the rust belt region who achieved the American dream through self-struggle, but this film took the initiative to strip away the background of the times, and completely turned into a personal struggle...

    It's almost counter-narrative, recreating thunderous violence and tide-like nightmares with memory fragments that surge up like fragments. For example, a bowl of chicken soup with mustard oil may seem monotonous, redundant, and rambling, but in fact it is repeatedly hit with a heavy hammer that will never level the scar. The calmness and orderliness of the current paragraph adds a sense of sadness, disobedience and obedience. Class origin is destined for the emotions we have to suppress. Pride...

    Oh my God, I'm so puzzled, this movie has at least 8 points in my heart. Film critics grew up in Hollywood and didn't understand the sufferings of the world. Is the life of the poor in the small suburban town of Ohio unsightly? Drug addiction, abusive relationship, domestic violence, dare to ask which is not the daily headache and suffering that Americans are experiencing? It resonates too much. This is the story of the neighbor's house, this is the story of your house and my house. Do we need...

    I was crying when my grandmother was holding the first exam paper tremblingly. I saw that many people in the short comment express their dislike of bev, because such a person is indeed hateful, and it would be even more disaster if there is such a person around him. But society is like this. Winners take all, glamorous and eye-catching, losers have nothing, dirty and sloppy, and they have not succeeded in being disciplined and self-disciplined. In addition to hard work, some people are lucky...

    Speed ​​up beating your son, set your husband on fire, begging for surplus food in the pizza box, rushing for a long conversation late at night, no one knows when you die, and no time to speak to your grandmother, try to be a decent terminator; director Ron Howard’s standard homesickness chicken soup , The two generations of female protagonists are watching the drama, the story is a little lacking, but the emotion is still...

    Brand-new problem-solving ideas, in addition to "thank you" and "sorry" to the native family, we can also say "go...

    Perceptual narrative rather than rational narrative, Ron Howard, who is also the most delicate and stable, believes that the original work resonates strongly with himself, even if it is not based on reality. The strong love for the hometown and the praise of the simple town spirit and family traditions unfolding in two time and space, and the contrast of the different circumstances of the protagonist’s family in different historical periods, the return to the most classical American dream, but...
