Maybe all girls' first love is their father
I cried to death watching this film, because I couldn't stand my father's tears at all. The father-daughter relationship in the film is simply words that I can't say from the bottom of my heart.
My father, of course, does not have the blonde hair and blue eyes of my father in the film, but he is also handsome and super patient. When I was a child, I didn't want to let my mother help me with my homework. My motivation to study, I am willing to get the best grades for him. I became a...

William Manchester documents a case in Glory and Dreams: In 1967, an 18-year-old girl named Linda, the daughter of a tea importer, refused to go back to an aristocratic school in Maryland and instead went to New York to study art. After moving to the East Village, she spent all the money her family sent to buy drugs and became addicted to promiscuity. In October of that year, she met four black drug dealers while dating a homeless man in a boiler room full of shit, cockroaches and garbage....

This is probably the Electra complex...
The needs of revolution are always rooted in individual shortcomings and dissatisfaction, and the problems of society and the times are often just excuses and opportunities for revolution. Some of this demand comes from boredom, a "romantic disease"; others have a practical psychological basis. Just as Mary used "anti-war" as an excuse to release her inferiority complex as an imperfect member of a perfect middle-class family. Perhaps the subtlety of class consciousness is that it may not...

Everyone has a hole in their heart
After watching the film American Pastoral, I generally remember the story of how a happy family was gradually disintegrated by a troubled child. How a daughter with extreme thinking goes step by step to the extreme road of no return. How a great father would try his best to save his daughter until she died.
It used to be a joy to have a girl in my family growing up, but she looks like the one in the movie - she forced her mother into a mad bitch, and tortured her father to half...

In fact, this is a deep film that reflects the complex emotions of human nature.
It is anti-war, but it reflects the influence of psychology on people, and the collapse of the heart destroys everything... Therefore, anti-war is just a pretext. From the middle of the film to the end, the more and more dull and sad plot tells the greatness of father's love, which is never betrayed... But the fact is not so simple, maybe only people with similar experiences will feel the same. Therefore, it is not easy for ordinary people to resonate. I have to say it's a good movie,...

I feel sorry for this father. What kind of people a child grows into sometimes negatively thinks it's luck, regardless of parental education, upbringing environment, only child or companion, poor or rich, single parent or double parent, you never know what kind of person your child will be. . I have always had a bad impression of religion and other organizations that want to brainwash and control...

The degree of completion is very high. Except for the ending, the original novel is restored, and the sense of age and atmosphere are in place. The symbolism of the novel is very strong. A broken family of three is used to symbolize the contradiction between the World War II generation and the anti-war generation. Several leading actors perform well. The end of the novel is chaos, the end of the movie seems to have hope of return, ideal is always better than...

I don't know how the original work is, but at first glance, this film is a literary work turned into a movie, and the narrator's point of view is not the taste of ordinary movies. Even though the film was flat, with few highlights, I was intrigued by the story of the family falling apart, a rare outspoken critique of the dark side of hippies. Ewan McGregor is an interesting guy who avoids the male gaze on his debut feature film and leaves the best scenes in the film to his female colleagues,...

Human nature is so complicated that it is better than nothing. Jennifer Connelly is still so beautiful. Dakota Fanning is ugly as she grows up. Is it another proof that she was good-looking when she was a child and grew up...

The narrative jumps to the limit, and the characters are vivid and three-dimensional, but Dakota's performance is obviously not enough. The character is the core, so much so that Ivan and Connery's efforts are...
Swede Levov: You were involved in something there, something political.
Merry Levov: Everything is political. Brushing your teeth is political.
Merry Levov: Daddy, how much suffering do you want?
Swede Levov: Who are you? Where is my daughter? My daughter did not kill four people. Say it isn't you. Say it isn't you!

Nathan Zuckerman: [narrating funeral] You come at people with an open mind, and yet you never fail to get them wrong. You get them wrong while you're with them, or you tell someone about them and get them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive. We are wrong. About the Swede, how life was going to open its arms and shower blessings upon him, I was never more wrong about anyone in my life.
