      Mother-daughter Love: Family Like Friends

      I finally took some time to watch it this afternoon. It is still the type of movie I like. To be honest, I am not qualified or scientific enough to evaluate such Oscar-winning movies.

      What I want to say is that you don't need to read the movie review in advance when watching a movie. If the movie is the same as the movie review description or evaluation, then the movie is unnecessary and unnecessary to watch, and this kind of movie is meaningless.

      Of course, for ordinary people...

      mother-daughter love

      Daughter Emma (played by Debra Winger) is the darling of her mother Aurora (played by Shirley MacLaine). Since childhood, Aurora has helped Emma arrange everything. Talking and acting, grooming, studying, playing, making friends, etc. must be approved by Aurora.
      After her husband died prematurely, Aurora took care of everything in the family and became more "authoritarian" to Emma. Although Emma is very gentle and weak, she is very stubborn in her heart. The two mothers and daughters also...

      Please try to reconcile with your past self, try

      To understand the woman who gave you life. You know, she may also be insecure, lonely, and hurt. Please invite her to practice and grow together!

      Aurora and Emma's lives are like two parallel train tracks, always side by side, but unable to unite. Suddenly I remembered what Long Yingtai said: The so-called father-daughter-mother-son just means that the fate between you and him is that you are constantly...

      This is not a delicate film, but it is very moving. When Emma finally told her children, although it was always a little joyful music, it still made people cry. I like her second son very much, very sensible. The eldest son is probably in a period of rebellion... Emma's face smells like a Parisian chanson. And Nicholson always looks like a ruffian wherever he goes. This movie is not tear-jerking, but very...

      When I was a child, CCTV6 was overlooked. I watched it first or my mother watched it first. Anyway, we told each other that it was beautiful, so we watched it together again. The plot is almost forgotten. Is it because the daughter is divorced, and the mother wants to get married again? I remember they were like...
