      The courage to change is life

      I first watched this movie for the EP. Many people may think that the plot is very old-fashioned, but I think the old-fashioned way shows that this is something that will really happen in life, and it is closer to the audience.
        After watching the whole movie, the development is calm and natural, but it also makes people resonate and think. Each age group has its own different circumstances and difficulties. When I was young, I longed for freedom and the release of my personality, but in...

      Who is the wise man?

      The name of the movie is Smart Man. What is a smart person? What exactly is the definition of smart? High IQ? Or....
         Lawrence, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, of course he is a smart man. He is very knowledgeable and is an elite in the literature department, but he is arrogant and self-righteous. He can't know any of the students he has taught. I just shove my own theories to the students, I don't know how to interact with the students, and I never consider whether my...

      How smart should we be~

      Ellen Page is already very slim, and seeing her look at you with an innocent face and angry eyes, the happiness about the movie will quietly rise in my heart.

      Shooting in 29 days, niche independent films will always seduce you so quietly.

       

      The title of the film, Smart People, was said to be too straightforward and could not stand scrutiny. I think it's okay, after all, there are all kinds of smart people in this world, and the 21 three-body are all the same...

      halfway

      After reading half of it, quit. Can't help but want to comment. It was originally for SARAH and ELLEN, two actresses that I love. But the first 10 minutes made me impatient. Uncle Dennis is really good at acting. He made himself so much like LOSER that I couldn't expect any changes from this arrogant professor. Watching for another 10 minutes, the old-fashioned story shell will appear, the stagnant relationship between the widower and his children, the tortuous emotional line with the heroine,...

      New look for Dennis Quaid

      As a family ethics film, I think this film is still worth watching. Thank God Dennis Quaid is finally not the hero dad that people like to see and hear. Instead, a middle-aged college professor with a sloppy appearance has swept away Dennis Quaid for many years. heroic image. Whether he wants to admit it or not, Quaid's intellectual widower has performed quite well. On the old face that is dissatisfied with the beard and wrinkles, the fortitude and firm eyes that were common in the past are...

    Movie plot

    University professor Lawrence Whitherhold is a typical representative of literary giants. He has a head full of wisdom and is full of talent. He is a well-deserved authority in the field of Victorian literature. But Lawrence is too domineering and arrogant when dealing with the people and things around him, and has become self-controlled to the point of being a little indifferent. A teacher like him is naturally the kind of...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film's original lead actress was actress Rachel Weisz.
    Dennis William Quaid and Thomas Haden Church both had special beards for the characters.
    Dennis William Quaid thought his beard looked very strange, so he shaved it off as soon as the scene was over.

    Evaluation action

    The stories related to middle-aged widowhood and family relations involved in "Smart People" are already stereotyped themes that have been filmed many times. But the film's uniqueness lies in its natural and peaceful stance, as in the movie "Juno." Regarding the issue of widowhood, there is neither the lingering dream that is almost detached from real life like the movie "Ten Times I Love You Again", nor the understatement like the...
