      What is happiness without sadness?

      I watched Garden State in New Jersey, and after watching it, I thought it was a really good movie.
      The film begins with all kinds of weirdos, including people who think they are knights in iron armor, and people who shoot flaming arrows into the sky in their backyards. Of course, these weirdos also include the heroine who loves to lie. and emotionally numb male protagonist. The tone of the whole environment is also somber, shrouded in a rainless sky, surrounded by exquisite small houses in...

      return to heart

      The male protagonist is handsome, and the soundtrack is great. Humorous and serious.
      There are a lot of movies that resonate in my heart, and I have similar feelings, and there is also a silver linings playbooks that have a lot in common with this movie.
      Caring too much about the opinions of others creates an invisible burden. Living by the rules can make us numb. Calm down, observe the world, and reflect on your life.
      Only when the heart has something to rely on will there be...

      sweet little cutie

      The film's storytelling is somewhat comical and incomprehensible, at first. After all, this is a foreign film, and many things require us to think about it in a different position.

      But the unspeakable feeling it conveys is something I can deeply appreciate, and I am especially grateful for this movie.

      It was Natalie, seeing her poster that made me decide to download this movie with no plot at all, and it didn't let me down at all, I'm so happy.

      Sweet little cutie....

      earthly rose

      In this noisy corner of the world, I met you.

        Laughing, melting the loneliness of the soul.

        You tell me you're not perfect and you like to lie.

        I'm telling you, I'm not perfect, I have headaches.

        Life is so peaceful, so quiet that there is no clue what to do, what to do and what not to do. We are just swimming in the water all the time, there is no way to come, and there is no other side.

        We are thin air that nurtures delicate roses....

      Dear Mark

      I like this movie.
      humor. strangeness. cold. Real and a little wise.

      until they fell in love.

      Mark took the two of them, looking for something, a bit like a road movie.

      I really like the character of MARK.

      Although the reason for liking is the same as that for liking every character in it except NATALIE.

      Love is always a very strange and disappointing thing. For me,
      maybe I am too jealous of them. Meeting each other in four days can...

      The 2004 old film tells the story of the growth of psychological problems. Leaving the family, he worked hard outside at the age of 16, and did not return home for the funeral until his mother died. Saying that my mother died is like having nothing to do with me. He was depressed, he was tortured by his past mistakes, he was guarded, and no one could save him. Medieval Sheldon took me by surprise! This piece has depth, but it's too...

      It is a little literary and artistic, and the picture processing is very good, but it is a little chatty. Then came the discovery of the medieval armored version of Sheldon. It turned out that he also ran the dragon set. The director, screenwriter, and male protagonist finished the package...

    Movie plot

    Young Andrew ( Zach Bluff ) has worked alone in Los Angeles for 9 years. He volunteered to become an actor, but he is still unknown today. He usually relies on working in restaurants to make a living. A phone call took Andrew back to his hometown in New Jersey. For many years, he had little contact with his family for some reason, and taking antidepressants all the year round made him indifferent to everything around him. Even today,...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film is the directorial debut of Zach Bluff.
    Director Zach Bluff has always regarded Natalie Portman as the first candidate for the heroine Saman, but he has always believed that the latter is impossible to take over.
    The script for the film is partly based on director Zach Bluff’s childhood in New Jersey, and partly based on his experience of hard work in....

    Evaluation action

    "Love Return to New Jersey" does not have a large-scale publicity strategy, but it is very distinctive in its visual design. It only relies on a 1 minute and 15 second network trailer to create a topic. The film has neither dazzling visual effects nor sensational sensitive topics, but Natalie Portman's performance adds a bright spot to the film. The film was well received at the Sundance Film Festival and became another typical case of...

    Movie quotes

    • Andrew Largeman: I was the reason she was in a wheelchair. I pushed her. So there that is.

      Sam: Shut up.

      Mark: Fuck off.

      Andrew Largeman: No, that's the truth.

      Sam: Why?

      Andrew Largeman: It was a complete freak accident, you know? It's one of those things you replay a million times in your head and you see how clearly it was just a complete freak thing. My whole life she was depressed for no reason and, you know, one day... I was a little kid. I was nine years old and I just hated her for that. And I pushed her. And it was innocent! I was just completely frustrated because.

      Sam: [interrupts] Because you couldn't make her happy?

      Andrew Largeman: Yeah! Fuck yeah. And any other time, you know, any other day she would have just yelled at me and sent me to my room but this day. On this particular day the door of the dishwasher had fallen open. The latch was broken and it would just randomly fall open. That fucking latch. It's really amazing how much of my life has been determined by a quarter-inch piece of plastic.

      [pauses]

      Andrew Largeman: So anyway, she fell back over the door and hit her neck on the kitchen counter paralyzing her from the waist down.

      Sam: Wow.

      Andrew Largeman: Still want to compare fucked up families?

    • Andrew Largeman: [to Sam while a dog humps his leg] Got any suggestions?

      Sam: [laughing] What?

      Andrew Largeman: [louder] You got any suggestions?

      Sam: Yeah, kick his balls. Kick his balls!

      Andrew Largeman: I don't wanna destroy future generations of charitable dogs.

    • Andrew Largeman: So why were you really there?

      Sam: Charging. I'm a robot.
