      People grow hate water grow east

      Very touching and sincere film, I cried several times in the process of watching.

      Lots of touching details.

      The night the mother died, she struggled to get up to prepare her child's lunch (the child's favorite way to make sandwiches), then lay down in her husband's arms, letting out her last breath and leaving with endless regret.

      The child seems to be ignorant and unaware, but the sudden outburst of mania in the car with his father's scorched slices of bread (realizing...

      He is my son!

      father, son. That kind of tacit understanding, expectation, estrangement, and understanding always tell the content of the movie between father and son. Having a cute, strong, but boyish dad always makes me irresistible to these kinds of movies. The scene that bothers me the most is when Artie crackles Dady in the head, blaming him for not convincing Harry. "It's all your fault!"
      Haven't we blamed like that?
      That year, I rode on your neck to watch the dragon dance. There were too many...

      The Three Little Pigs: Commentary on "The Boy Returns"

      Well, I went for Clive Owen, even though the subject matter didn't appeal to me.
       
      The son and the father are actually three boys. Father Joe is also a boy, see how he exploits Laura, a single mother to a son's classmate who has a crush on him. Joe is on a business trip to the UK, and he just wants to entrust the children to Laura, even though Laura has just been able to spend her own weekend. Laura angrily shouted out her dissatisfaction with him: "Our relationship skipped several...

      Western education is really shocking

      ╮(╯_╰)╭ I found that I seem to like spending time watching family films. Although it may be boring, I downloaded this film out of the need to write new concepts in the past (the picture quality is still not good). With a cute little son and a rebellious eldest son. The whole process was cut off by little Artin, who was chubby and chubby, with long curly hair, super long eyelashes, and very cute, sensible, and arrogant. My brother Harry was very good at taking care of his younger brother, and I...

      There is a kind of pain that cannot be ignored, there is a kind of feeling that cannot be ignored, there is a kind of tie called family love, all you need is hard work. This film is my favorite Clive Owen's work. There is no gorgeousness, no thrilling, only a touch of sadness and deep...

    Movie quotes

    • Katy: Will you do one more thing for me, Joe?

      Joe Warr: Anything.

      Katy: Buy that convertible.

    • [first lines]

      Joe Warr: [narrating] I don't know whether you've ever seen a map of a person's mind. Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting. But catch them trying to draw a map of a child's mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. There is zig-zag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card. And these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always, more or less, an island.

    • Artie: Daddy.

      Joe Warr: What is it, sweet heart?

      Artie: I want to die.

      Joe Warr: Do you? Why?

      Artie: So I can be with mommy.

      Artie: Don't worry daddy, I'll stay down here with you for now.

      Joe Warr: Thanks.
