      Happiness just turned around

      Stanley's wife was a soldier in the Iraq War. Stanley was in the army when he was young, but he was forced to retire due to vision problems and was not able to serve the country. Stanley works as a sales manager in a small supermarket and supervises several small staff. A man in his 40s, already fat (Uncle Ku put on weight on purpose), wearing a pair of big, goofy glasses, a sloppy collar that never seems to be buttoned, and two terrifyingly long legs with comical strides. Buzi-----I can't help...

      Reply to "Grace is gone"

      The nephew is only 7 years old, even younger than Dawn, who is too young to know the cruelty of this world.
      Dawn listened to her father after the incident; the nephew was on the festive night of the reunion of thousands of people, and witnessed his father's departure

      .
      Knowing

      the rules to follow
      Dawn stood in front of the grave, openly opening the "exclusive time" to communicate with the deceased; his nephew was running around in front of his father's incense...

      Happiness is gone, but hope is still there

      The title of the film in English is very good, it seems that I always have some obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to one-sidedness. "Grace" is a pun, both "happiness" and the name of the hero's wife - who died because of the war.

      Sometimes I always yearn for some kind of life that has not yet come, like the middle-aged father played by John Gusack in the movie, whose career is not particularly successful, his wife is killed in battle, and then there are two young daughters....

      happiness is gone

      I watched this movie when it first came out. I like the soundtrack of this movie very much. The laughter in the children's paradise and the light movie music made people cry. When I watched this movie, a friend died. When thinking about life often, I remember a saying that death is not the opposite of life, but is eternal as a part of life. Thinking about it now, still sad. This is the story of a man who forbears and bears the sadness of his wife's death while facing the children with a smile...

      "Happiness is gone": The world you leave behind is not death

      1. The world behind

        In "Saving Private Ryan", there are wounds left by the war everywhere, the flesh and blood of the Normandy landings, the hail of bullets and bullets along the way, and the desperate struggle to guard the position. Behind the raging war, the most heart-wrenching scene is the mother who is waiting for her sons to return in triumph every day, watching a car slowly drive into view along the vast field, the camera staring at a distance, time Dragging at a slow pace,...

    "Grace Is Gone" is a film that focuses on describing the psychology of the characters. Stanley, played by John Cusack, is very vivid, and he fully shows the frustration. The theme of the film has the meaning of encouraging people to "look forward" and anti-war   . (Tencent Entertainment Review)
    Although "Grace Is Gone" is a family-themed literary genre film, it also contains direct political content. The death of her mother on the...

    Movie quotes

    • Heidi Phillips: What do you do at work Dad?

      Stanley Philipps: I sell shit.

    • John Phillips: It's important that people have their own views based on an understanding of facts. But, it's also important not to trust the facts, because most of them are lies.

      Heidi Phillips: I don't get it.

      John Phillips: It basically comes down to a gut thing. You just have to be open to allowing for a truth which differs from your own opinions. Or else you'll never actually see the truth at all.
