      Love under the eaves

      The plot is a bit old-fashioned, but overall it's okay. Christensen’s appearance in the first appearance is so amazing, it reminds me of Jonathan in "Velvet Gold Mine", hehe~
      the mother in it looks familiar, but she can't name her, and finally thinks of it as "The English Patient" The female protagonist of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" looks like the girlfriend who has crushed Hugh Grant for many years is also her role; the girl inside is also a familiar actor, like the younger sister in...

      Dreams about family relationships are beautiful

      Don’t wait until you run out of time to tell your love~ Always give a hug to the person who loves you and the person you love~ The actors are all big names, including Hayden, who has since risen to fame with the "Star Wars Prequel", and of course it is still this film. The performance in the movie is more challenging~ hahahaha badly~ the scene of everyone working together to build a house at the end of the film is very loving~ the final finished product is very'dreamy'~ I really want to live...

      Life is like a house

      A surprisingly good movie about family relationships. The
       
      male and female protagonists are all powerful and famous actors. Even supporting roles are tomorrow's stars: Hayden Christensen, who plays his son, was nominated for the Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor for this film, and later appeared in "Shattered Glass", "Jumper", "New York, I Love You"; Jena Malone ("Into the Wild"), who played the neighbor, later appeared as Lydia in "Pride and Prejudice", which left a deep...

      I don't like living in this house for the first and last year. Why? Because the first year I wasn't sure you loved me, and the last year I wasn't sure if I still loved you. Father's love is like a mountain, like such a house, facing the sea, you can jump off cliffs if you have nothing to do. So beautiful. ....
