      summary of the story

      Henry (Luke Wilson played by Luke Wilson), who has been living a peaceful life for a long time, accidentally finds that he is terminally ill. He is frustrated and decides to live in isolation, hide alone, but is here to stay. He bought a small house in the suburbs of Los Angeles to avoid all unnecessary social interactions and minimize the life circle. What Henry didn’t expect was that his neighbor Esperanza (Adriana Barraza) actually saw a miracle on the wall of his house. The news spread...

      Thoughts on "Henry Poole's Arrival"

      The male protagonist who was misdiagnosed as terminally ill returned to the place where he lived when he was a child, thinking about mourning.

      The neighbor gossip aunt actually saw the divine face of God on his wall.

      The near-sighted cashier and the little girl with post-traumatic sequelae, after touching the wall, miracles happened. But the male protagonist felt that he was alive soon and didn't believe in God at all, so he smashed the wall with a hammer. The house collapsed and...

      The movie can be made like this-a comment on "Remaining but Remaining"

      Without passion, violence and conspiracy, and lacking all the popular elements of blockbuster films, they are just a few small people: the pious Christian neighbor aunt who is comparable to the "community aunt", the little girl next door with a bit of intellectual disability and her single mother, the supermarket cashier The ardent four-eyed girl, the ugly house intermediary girl, the stupid black priest...The last three are almost negligible. From the outside, the whole movie is just a few...

      Is this a petty bourgeoisie?

      Pulling is not enough, it should be said that the middle class tuned. From the beginning of the film, there was a boring and undisciplined atmosphere, and it was a little bit of unfolding slowly, which is most suitable for people who are more boring and don't like to use their brains. There are indeed many such people, and I am now. Some people like to summarize the central idea. I saw that this is a film that promotes Christianity; I think this film is just to say that life is impermanent....

      Love Of The Loveless

      don't got a lot of time
      don't give a damn
      don't tell me what to do
      i am the man
      if there's a God up there
      something above
      God, shine your light down here
      shine on the love
      love of the loveless

      don 't have too many friends
      never felt at home
      always been my own man
      pretty much alone
      i know how to get through
      and when push comes to shove
      i got the love
      love of loveless

      all around you, people walking...

      Low-cost small production ~ a movie with religious colors and miracles ~ the plot is not the highlight of this film ~ but the beautiful soundtrack and MV-like shooting techniques bring people a relaxed and sad mixed taste ~ happy ending It's cliché~ But from another perspective, when people encounter difficulties, the power of faith is...

    Evaluation action

    Among the many shoddy inspirational films, this is a film that only true believers can understand. ————The New York Times
    This is a film about the soul. It breaks through some very difficult bottlenecks and analyzes Christians, agnostics, and atheists in turn. However, it is not to discuss the truth and falsehood of religion, but to succinctly demonstrate the power of belief. Moreover, this is also a warm story. ———— Chicago Sun
