      Independent female personality is more meaningful than blindly paying

      On the surface, the film is a tribute to the housewife's dedication to the family.

      But actually, I disagree with some of them. A husband is like the heaven of a family, and a wife does not want to achieve self-achievement and self-improvement, but give everything for the housework and lover. The husband can still cheat and stay home at night, as long as he does not ask for a divorce. From the quarrel between her daughter and her father, she learned that the housewife was ill and did...

      Who is the strongest in the family

      Impressed after watching the movie.
      The strongest in the family is Ellen's mother, Kate. Her father George looked successful and romantic in his early years, but later (not just after Kate got sick, because Kate even knew where to find him) he seemed to be busy all day, often coming home late at night, but in fact Escape from reality, from Kate's sick and debilitating reality, his inner fears, can hide in a pub with the same name as the book he wrote. ——Does it mean that his so-called...

      Self-perception from a daughter's perspective

      When there is a mother who is sick and is about to die in bed, and you know more about her, this heavy life has destroyed her to the point where she is now, but the touching thing is that she still loves life and is full of light, Warming the people she loves around her, the heroine feels the difficulty of her mother. The image of a father whom she admired since childhood suddenly collapsed, and she is full of doubts and pessimism about life. When she sees her drunken father dozing and...

      With a little more company and communication, there will be more understanding and tolerance

      At 1:35, Aunt Mei's words sublimated the movie;

      I remember that Mu Xin said that death is very ugly and ugly, and I can understand what he meant;

      Leaving is in an instant, and growing up is also an instant thing;

      We are always in a hurry to walk on the road of life, do not forget the relatives around us.

      The original name is One True Thing, translated into ~ Family love is priceless, it can only barely spoil the plot; the depth is not enough.

      When we grow up, we...

      Write to myself, life is nice, slow it down.

      "One minute you are in school and the next time you look up...and your life's all turned around and screwed up. You try and you try to get ahead in it all you just...you somewhere lose yourself. And you never know when it's gonna come...comes out of now here. Bang...It's just...your life is a disaster."

      Although I haven't left school yet, the state of part-time work and study really makes me feel the hardships of life, and also vaguely feel that I...

      The plot of the story is very small and not very profound. It is about family, family, understanding and so on. But the two women are so good at acting! !...

    • Kate Gulden: [dressed as Dorothy] Welcome! There's no place like home!

      Ellen Gulden: [silently, to herself] Thank God.

    • Kate Gulden: It's so much easier to be happy, my love. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, and you have so much, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is you're imagining you're missing. It's so much more peaceful.

    • Kate Gulden: Thank you for the world so sweet.Thank you for the food we eat.Thank you for the birds that sing.Thank you, God, for everything.
