      what to give you

      I think I have watched countless movies, but I have always been moved by the mentality of keeping the movie entertaining, but after watching it, I was completely shocked, not to mention the authenticity of the film, only from the actors' performances and the plot of the story for the first time. I feel that there is an indescribable entanglement (I really don't know how to describe it, but I can only use these two words), maybe it is the same as a father that makes me feel this way. I often put...

      what can you do

      At the end, I felt very uncomfortable. The reason for the discomfort was that if it was you who had the ability to pay the price of this medical treatment, the doctor's statement was right, and the support of medical resources was indeed needed, and the sheriff's statement was not wrong for his own future. The road to election is a little smoother; the executives are very calm at the beginning and say their best option, and it is paid in cash, and there is no such clause in the...

      human nature.

      The film tells the life story of Arthur, a worker in a heavy machinery factory. It raises tit-for-tat questions and condemnations of today's medical and insurance systems, condenses the problems that many ordinary people have encountered in real life, and reflects the current disadvantages of society. Of course, it is also because of the excellent performances of many stars, led by Denzel Washington. But what makes the film less than satisfactory is that it uses kidnapping as a means of...

Do as she says, she is your best friend, tell her you love her every day. It's too early for you to have girlfriends, but the time will come when you will treat them like princesses, because they are princesses. When you say what to do, do it!

      what can we do

      A very touching fatherly love movie, but it brings people more thinking. The unfairness of the social system will completely destroy a family. If this kind of thing happens to you, what would you do? You dare to confront the government and threaten the government. Do, if this kind of thing happened in China, would it have a happy ending like the male protagonist? Will there be so many government officials who sympathize with you? It's worth thinking about, more families may only watch their...

      It's a good movie, but the ending is underwhelming, maybe if John ended up drinking himself, it would have added a lot more depth and intensity. Is John a bad guy or a good father? In fact, everyone in the film is not a perfect person, but this is a real...

    Background creation

    It can be said that the film "On the Brink" is a super-luxury lineup from the production staff to the actors, which is one of the reasons why it was included in the list of the most anticipated films in 2002.
    The main actor Denzel Washington does not need to be introduced. The black actor who won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Glory" has been on the screen in recent years: "Human Bone Puzzle", "Remember the Titans), "Hurricane", and...

    Evaluation action

    After the trial screening of the film, the comments received can be described as mixed. Most of the people who praised the film because it raised tit-for-tat questions and condemnations about the current medical and insurance system, condensed many common people’s problems in real life, and reflected the current social ills. Of course, it is also because the excellent performances of many stars headed by Denzel Washington have added a...
