      Desire

      Perhaps at first glance at the title, I thought I was a criticism of Fei and a handsome guy enjoying the fun of life at the playground. But in fact, it is more like the expression of the nuns' imprisonment of their own desires. I have always believed that only by being chaste for life can we be closer to God. This is not only a pedantic idea, but I personally feel that this is another desire in my heart.
            This kind of news coverage of looking for relatives is not uncommon, but the...

      abandoned love

      I once saw a man in his thirties on a TV people-seeking program, holding back tears and pouring out his wishes for many years to the camera: I want to find my family and ask them why they took the six-year-old man in the first place. I give up!
      Even though he's already married and has a lovely daughter, the longing for his biological parents has lingered in his mind over the years. "I always want to leave the best things for my daughter and meet her needs as much as possible. I thought,...

      About Forgiving Others and Forgiving Oneself

      I like this kind of movie where we chat along the way and then get to know each other slowly. This movie belongs to humanities, not love. The interpretation of phi is the most natural, with many micro-expressions and a sense of substitution. In the end, when anthony's boyfriend said that he went back to find phi, I thought it was too much. Then I found out it was the real story. Religious beliefs in the West reject sex so much and defend chastity and even betray family and humanity, which...

      Belief

      The journey of finding a child, the collision of various beliefs. Philomena is a lovely and optimistic little old Irish lady, Catholic, she trusts in God, she admits that it is a sin for her to have a child out of wedlock, and she is really willing to atone for such a sin, but at the same time she also doubts, because she feels from the bottom of her heart that the violation The sex of God's will is beautiful, and the child it brings is angelic as well. Phil admits the suffering brought by...

      Philomena: A Contest of Faith and Religion

      As a family-hunting road movie, the director does not want to direct the film style to the self-repentance routine in search, but presents it in a relaxed atmosphere of a warm sketch, with a plot that conforms to the characteristics of a detective film. The plot of the whole film is compact. , interlocking, the story is very strong.
      But it is precisely because of this interspersed light comedy style setting that it greatly weakens Philomena's emotional expression of inner fluctuations on...

      6 points, the British aunt's trip to the United States to find her child. #SaveMrBanks# Emma Thompson exudes a strong Judi Dench aura. In the end, True Dench was nominated. [Oops]. PS: The food in the black country of the corrupt country - not kind. PPS: It can resist the preaching that has dominated the mainland for decades, and go to the classic copycat genre. It is the progress of mainland film and television. After this step is taken, the next batch can produce their own classics [score 6-7...

    The overall tone of "Philomena" is gentle, and even at the moment of strongest emotional cohesion, it still maintains moderate restraint. It needs to be explained that this feeling of "restraint" is not imposed by the director, but expressed through the natural acting skills of the actor, which makes people feel that this is due to the role, thus eliminating the hidden danger of "deliberate".
