      Last Mile Home in everyone's heart

      I remember the first time I accidentally opened this movie a few years ago. I was lying in bed by myself in the middle of the night with a cup of coffee. After the movie ended, I couldn’t sleep all night. I can’t say whether it was because of the coffee or because of the movie.

      I don't know how long it will take these actors to get out of this movie after they finish the movie. These emotions are too ordinary, too real and too intense. They fully reveal your innermost heart without you...

      Exaggerated representation of extremely real life

      The drama shows very real conflicts, too many real conflicts in the family, and the drama and vulgarity of life are all shown, but they are so real. Everyone, every generation, wants to get rid of it, but is stuck in it for generations.

      On the other hand, in our own country, how many people want to see the good side and live a life of coping. Those cutting-edge conflicts have been covered up or are unwilling to mention! But it is true that when there are good and bad situations in the...

      Violet: Where to put that trembling soul

      After her husband committed suicide by drowning, mother Violet staged various conflicts with family members. The film shows how Violet's ghostly mother, step by step, pulls the trigger on her family and shoots the cogs of their destiny.

      Violet, played by Aunt May, is as mean as a loaded pistol, pulling the trigger at others at any time and quenching the anger in her heart by firing bullets.

      Everyone is her target. Why does she do this?

      Violet was emotionally abused by her...

      The soft and the hard of being human

      The stubborn Aunt May died alone, and Barbara, who inherited a strong stubborn gene, was alone on the road, not knowing where to go? Karen went away even in the face of her lover's unbearableness. She bowed her head to money to change her marriage, and Ivy, who had always been tolerant, learned the truth and left crying. How will she excuse herself?

      In the end, Aunt May lay weakly in the nanny's arms, like a child in need of care.

      Attitude determines the...

      life is so long

      "August Osage County" is an American drama about family and marriage. At the beginning of the film, the landscape of the western plains of the United States is outlined through beautiful pictures of freeze-frame, which has a unique flavor. Especially those tall cylindrical haystacks scattered on the field exude a fairytale-like unreal beauty. However, these deliberately laid-out beautiful scenery seems to represent the fleeting illusion of quiet time, because the story played out is...

      4.5 stars, some places are quite exciting, and the actors are good, but beyond the flashy appearance, it is basically a roaring family ethics drama,...

      Whether it’s family, marriage or a group of friends, getting along for a long time is trouble. It reminds people of all kinds of strange events and disputes in the society, falling in love with each other and killing each other. In fact, human beings are in chaos and harmony with each other. The teacher came up and took Tokyo Story as an example to say that people are destined to be lonely. Now I gradually understand one-tenth of this...
