    The remnants of the Vietnam War + hippie parents + exile life, such a theme can easily be treated as either radical or avant-garde or chilling, but Lu Meite unexpectedly made it light and warm, as if it was no different from ordinary American family films. Perhaps this is a Plant a soup instead of a medicine. Compared with Lumet's other works, this one seems too plain, with ambiguous climax and focus, and the father's final transformation also lacks foreshadowing. Xiaohe is really good at...

    The reflection of the beat generation, you can't choose your family (country), you can only try to change it, both as a child and as a parent, the sins committed when you were young, the three generations bear the cost, the heart of compassion is not lost, the talent Get inheritance, sins are not forgiven, keep fighting, for family, for survival, for love. The comparison between Madonna and Beethoven in music class is like the shaken criticism of capitalism in the family, through the mouth of a...

    The film was nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Original Screenplay at the 61st Academy Awards. It is another refreshing and pleasant film. Although the family shown is an extreme exception, it shows a positive atmosphere everywhere. Simple and sincere is both the style of the film and the character of the characters. But all of this comes from an imaginary talent, and it is talent that is pitiful. So the plot is just like the utopia that parents create for their children in the process of...

    so perfect. This fugitive family presents an ideal and perfect atmosphere of mutual love. People stick to their original intentions because of mutual trust in this family.

    River Phoenix

    I have been looking for this film for a long time. I found it on emule a few days ago, and it is a treasure. Perhaps due to the high expectations, two hours was not as exciting as expected. A very typical 80s Hollywood drama, everything is so smooth and natural, just no surprises. Finally, when I...

    I love River Phoenix

    Because the film that River went to buy is really good.

        After watching it, you can understand why River was recognized as the rebirth of James Dean, because River's blonde hair was brighter than the sun, and the melancholy in his eyes lingered even when he laughed. What is he thinking? So...
