      Little sister of DAKOTA FANNING

      The Door In The Floor, the literal translation should actually be "the door on the floor", probably the publisher also feels that such a Chinese translation is really unable to attract the audience, so according to the plot it turned into "immoral summer", also known as "widowhood" Year". The slow-paced, melancholic film, behind the unremarkable story is the disaster that a family has suffered, and the unending pain that comes with it. Kim Basinger is not actually a very beautiful blonde, but...

        on the ground "There is a door on the ground of the hut, and there are terrible things on the ground. Once, some children disappeared in the cave.

      Dear marian


       Dear Marianne:

             Hello, I am in a great loss just like you. Of course, all this has nothing to do with loss, but the truth. Or, it is also a relative loss, losing all the belief in the good old days, all the hope for love and love.

            It's been a long time since I watched a movie quietly and very quietly. I can understand your feelings for Eddie. I also know that it’s not love. You need a boy like Eddie to release all the remaining love for Thomas and Moses....

      impressive talk in the movie

      Here John Irvings uttered some writing skills through the mouth of writer Ted.

      I read your, um... your story.
      Oh. I thought you forgot.
      No. I just didn't have a chance
      to get to it before.
      It's not very good, is it?
      Oh, it's, uh... it's very heartfelt,
      very... very personal.
      It's, um...
      Well, it's just a collection
      of personal anecdotes
      that don't really add up to much.
      It's, uh...
      I was just tryin' to see if I could...

      Jon Foster's 20-year-old green look

      After checking IMDB, Jon Foster is not a prolific artist, and the list of works is not very long... Starting his acting career at the age of 15.
      I thought of looking for his work because of the appearance of such a handsome guy in the American drama Accidentally On Purpose, but I did not expect that there are very few subtitles that can be found on VC.
      The movie itself is pretty good, although I rarely watch such ethical dramas...but I still feel heavy when I see the last accident...

    Tidbits

    Most of the films were shot in real scene.
    The film is the second collaboration between Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger after co-starring in "A Beautiful Couple" 17 years ago.
    One of the reasons Jeff Bridges agreed to appear in the film was to show his painting expertise in the film.

    Creative background

    In 1998, American novelist John Owen's novel "A Widow for One Year" was published. As soon as the novel came out, Tod Williams read the novel carefully and was moved to a complete mess. Then he found the producers Anne Kerry and Ted Hope , hoping to adapt the novel into a movie. The two producers agreed with this idea, and immediately found John Owen’s agent. The other said that Owen’s most concern was who was interested in the...

    Movie quotes

    • Ted Cole: [discussing Eddie's first story] Oh, its very heartfelt. Very personal. Well, its just a collection of personal anecdotes that don't really add up to much.

      Eddie O'Hare: I was just trying to see if could write something that seemed true.

      Ted Cole: Oh, it seems true. It just isn't very interesting. It sort of an emotional outburst, but it really isn't a story.

    • Ted Cole: Everything in fiction is a tool: pain, betrayal, even death. These are, you know, these are like, uh, different colors on a painter's palette. You need to use them.

    • Ruth Cole: Your penis looks funny.

      Ted Cole: My penis *is* funny.
