      Angela's Ashes - Ashes of the Holy Candle

      In a town full of broken houses, sewage, and cold and wet, the most humane thing is that clear night of a total lunar eclipse, where poor and pious people wait for the moonlight to fall, annihilate, and fall again, as if everyone is open to the Holy Spirit He lived through his own filth, repented and was full of blood, and then continued to hide under the musty rubble. And Frankee looked back at himself, under the protection of angels for more than ten years, so that he could...

      Tribulation

      Frankie's childhood was so miserable, but we have also seen that the life that has gone through hardship has not withered and lost its luster, but has become more shining. Tribulation is like a whetstone, sharpening the knife of life. What was unfolding in front of him now may be a wasteland or a field full of hope, but whether it is a wasteland or a field, it will become a harvestable land because of the sharpness of the knife. As long as we still have hope in our hearts, and we continue to...

      Growth education

      When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, we could receive the Phoenix TV movie channel at home. All kinds of movies are played uninterrupted every day, including restricted ones. Before each movie starts, there will be a slogan stating what age it is suitable for.

      When I was young, I liked watching TV. I watched a lot of movies on this channel, including this "Angel Child". When

      Phoenix Satellite TV wants to broadcast a particularly good movie, it will be...

      Roger Ebert's film review translation

      ★★☆ (full score of four stars) Frank McCourt’s book "Angela's Ashes" is like Irish oral history, recalling suffering in laughter. I call it oral history because I learned from a friend of his that the unforgettable stories told in his autobiography were written after decades of scrutiny. Anyway, from his gracious voice in the audiobooks he recorded, and from the fast-paced humor that gushes from the frustrating memories, I can guess. Some people say that audiobooks are not...

      Angel child

      There are always some movies that will involve clues from past experiences when they are watched, so that memories that have been gradually distant will warm the real heart bit by bit. However, when the movie ended, I couldn't sort out the emotions of all sorts of things. After the tail of passion, the breathing was unknowingly calmed down. The moment before, "just now has become the past. The realistic part of the mood." , It was more real than before. What

        I can only recall is...

      Originally it felt pretty good, but the battle line was dragged too long, and there was no need to shoot it for 140 minutes. Men who are alcoholics are the worst...

      Although it is a story, it has removed the dramatic false sense of the story, and created a real life experience for the viewer. This subtle scale is really...

      The narrative is trivial, without focus, without foreshadowing, and without strong force, but the scheduling is good, and the crowding and compression of the picture enhances the dark and melancholy atmosphere of Limerick. As far as the actors are concerned, it's just...

      Based on the classic novel of the same name "Angela's Ashes", it depicts the story of growing up in a poor family. Under the 145-minute lens of director Alan Parker, it is quite...

In The United States of America, they were impoverished. The unemployment of their husband, Milanci, not only cut off the family's financial resources, but also turned a man into an alcoholic. After...

    ·Factual error: Lunar eclipses are only possible when the moon is full, not as large as semicircles as shown in the movie. In addition, the lunar eclipse should not show up as a moving shadow.
    ·Factual error: Frank used the button to adjust the volume to change the channel of the neighbor’s radio.
    ·The lunar eclipse lasts much longer than shown in the....
