      Manchester by the Sea: Gentleness and Restraint

      Because of Lee's fault, the children died. In grief, he moved out of Manchester but had to come back again because of the death of his brother, and he was helpless to take care of the funeral. Therefore, he had to open the wounds of the old days again and appear in front of the people who were close to him in the past.

      About two or three years ago, I took "The Sea" for lunch one day, but I didn't finish it because of its slow...

      I just want to live miserably

      002|"Manchester by the Sea"

      On the tombstone of the Chandler family, there are father, mother and brother, all three are missing, and the empty space is Li's.

      At that time, he attempted suicide at the police station, and maybe later he didn't know why he was still alive.

      This is the end of the movie. The whole film is a feeling of mourning, and there are never too many emotional ups and downs. It's just that scene, when Li Mengeng's two daughters said to him, "Dad, can't...

      cross in heart

      Keigo Higashino has a novel called "The Cross of Nothingness", which discusses the issue of redemption for the families of the victims of murder, which is also an important issue that the criminal law community pays attention to and discusses. Birth, old age, sickness and death are compulsory courses in life, but in the face of the unexpected death of relatives and lovers, especially when this accident is more or less mixed with one's own faults, what should we start with about self-redemption...

      Life sucks

      Lee is the epitome of each of us, but the sufferings we suffer are different. The pain that most of us have experienced can be hidden from the public, and can be hidden forever and secretly in our hearts, but Lee can't, Manchester's Everyone knows his injury. All he could see was the past that made him sad and did not want to recall. So he fled to Boston, but because of this change (the death of his brother) he had to go back to the place where the sadness could not disappear. I kept...

      How to protect your family? (not related to the movie itself)

      Last night, I watched Akutagawa's "Shadow". The novel was a little gloomy, which caused nervousness in the middle of the night. In addition, "Ode to the Pear Flower" kept looping in my head, causing insomnia. The nerves in the brain were messed up, and many clues overlapped without knowing it, so this morning, lying on the bed, I unknowingly experienced Lee's psychological and mental state in my mind. I've always felt that he was an irresponsible person who lost a child through his own...

      It can be said that it is in line with my current state of mind. Let’s be mourned. Everyone is an adult. Who would believe in the self-deception that "time will heal everything"? Time will not heal the wound. It is useful to escape shame. In the future, I will find that it was not the most mournful, because the mourning is still to...

      The pain caused by unbearable history does not necessarily completely destroy a person, but makes him indifferent, seemingly out of the picture, but still unable to completely get rid of it. No one would regard this decadent repairman named Lee as himself, but how many people have experienced a moment of heartbreak, then hide all the scars and live as usual. What we see is their "most normal"...

    Evaluation action

    "Manchester by the Sea" is full of realistic plots, and all of them are relaxed performances. The implicit interpretation of the film may disappoint audiences who look forward to flashy dramatic moments and exaggerated emotional conflicts. (Timeline Review) 
    The film is filled with a heartbreaking emotion from beginning to end. The director spreads out the plot bit by bit like tearing his pockets, and then evenly injects this...
