      Happiness in your hands-"American Dream"

      A person, a country, a nation, what does it mean to explore such a term? What I think must be different from what you think, but there is one thing in common. What is eye-catching and acclaimed must be a civilization that can be passed on, and it is a progressive human story. "In America", another work of Irish director Jim Sheridan in 2002, although not as shocking as his previous works "My Left Foot" and "In the Name of Father", it does not lose the plot and personal filming...

      To Love Somebody


      "Desperado", my favorite song. The eldest daughter in the play sang it, so

      beautiful. The film I saw at the festival is still fresh in my memory.

      Although the sun did not favor the immigrants home, they self

      own way to dodge painful sadness. After all, there is always

      bad luck buried in all directions in life , you and I are the same, only resistance...

      May love be the boat, driving you home.

      After a long journey, finally the Sullivan family enters the United States. The director chooses to start the story at this moment. The moment for the family may be a chance to restart to some degree. And also to us spectators, it can be an easy resource to look into the protagonists' life.

      Johnny and Sarah, with their daughters Christy and Ariel, have settled in a tenement in Manhattan which is occupied by drug addicts and transvestites. However, they are still filled with joy. Sarah...

      Keep on living

      A story about other people’s homes. Far away but true. Although my screen is dimmed, their lives should still continue on the other side of the earth. I don’t remember how it started, and there will be no end.
          There is too much in It’s so warm, luck and misfortune are just right, coincidences and miracles are just enough. Just like our life, no one who is fair should think of taking advantage. It’s such a sense of measure that makes me willing to believe in its...

      Everyone has a Frankie in their heart

      Watching this film is repeating the year that life is better than death. The
      director condensed the real experience that happened to him into this affectionate film. The little girl in this film made me think of myself more than once: the deepest injury and the deepest hidden. In the end she taught me to be immersed in this kind of sadness. It is meaningless. We must go forward and let the sun of tomorrow cover the haze of yesterday.
      This year I was admitted to Peking University....

      I always feel that the filming is a bit contrived, and why I think the role of mother is very strange, that hairstyle always reminds me of patients or perverts......

      Warmth is warmth, but it's too tragic. I don't know what the real American life at the bottom is like, but miracles only exist in movies. This is the biggest difference between movies and...
