      "Hate" is a burden

      Alienation, misunderstanding, criticism, hostility, hatred, from the day we are born, from the day we start to understand. Getting along with people is a must for everyone.
             The first is family, parents, grandparents, grandparents, siblings, distant relatives and neighbors.
             Then I stepped into the campus, with my classmates and teachers.
             Later, when you step into society, you will face the intricate interpersonal relationships, intertwined and influenced each...

      unfinished life

      Swedish director Lesser Holström's works are much more famous than he himself, and he is well-known in "Different Sky", "Chocolate", "The Story of Hachiko" and "A Dog's Mission". In the list, "Unfinished Life" is a bit silent. Lesser's narrative style is always calm and indifferent, hiding the waves of life in the rising and setting of every day. In this heartwarming and timeless work of beautiful Jennifer Lopez and veterans Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman, the director composes a simple...

      "Unfinished Life" from Movie Notes

      This is a movie about "forgiveness" and looks at family ethics. Enner gave his old friend Bradley a bear injury due to alcoholism, and has since stopped drinking and caring for a long time, but Bradley does not blame, and expresses forgiveness by caring for the bear - feeding and releasing it. Onna's daughter-in-law, Jane, lost her life in a car accident caused by a fatigued driving, and Enna's only son, Gerry, was killed. Under the silent inspiration of Bradley and the infection of his...

      An age believing everything is going to turn out right

      The sky is cloudy and rainy but occasionally clears, the ordinary day-to
      -day life is so
      simple that it makes us mistakenly think that there is nothing worth remembering,
      that we live in a place where even death will not pay attention,
      that we mistakenly think that Life is all about complaining and resentment.

      If you can choose to try to understand and accept life,
      you will find that life is so warm.

      The little girl is very funny.
      Although she...

      If you wake up early in the morning and watch a good movie, you will be in a good mood all day ^O^~ Except for the seductive handsome men and women in the whole movie, the beautiful scenery of Xibu, rural farms, blue sky cowboys, everything is so beautiful. Simple and smooth plot, understanding and forgiveness are actually that...

    Evaluation action

    The experience of this special family described in the film impresses the audience by means of "approachable", and it sells the acting skills and "faces" of these leading actors. The empty and gray West of The United States of America, built by two vicissitudes of life, can even more show the attitude of people toward life and life in the near sunset. In addition, the special setting of family members and the trend of the story line in...
