      I have to say two words

      A person who is truly touched by the love of Jesus will not force others to jump off a building.
      Isn't the Bible story of Hosea marrying a prostitute and forgiving her again and again? And the book Who Can Love Me Like This. It didn't end like that.

      Also, if the male protagonist's daughter's car accident makes the male protagonist hate God and deny God, how can he love the universe, love the eldest sister who sweeps the floor, love the heroine and die for her? Where does his love...

      Be careful with your own and others' feelings

      Many Chinese people have naive views about freedom of love after watching this film. In fact, this film still thinks that religion serves the primary purpose. After all, what has been passed down for thousands of years is unfounded, unreasonable, and unrealistic. Because the real thing is always difficult for people to fully accept.

      If someone asks: what does this film express?
      It can be said that it warns all groups in the film to take emotions seriously. joe---religion can't be...

      Nice little story

      This is a very neat little story!
      The opening scene is the jumping off the building scene. Similar to the negotiating experts in Hong Kong dramas, they also arrived at the scene for the first time and chatted with the male protagonist. At first, I thought that this guy is not like someone who jumped off the building. He is so calm and does not resist. Of course, this is the The first foreshadowing!
      It turned out that the hero had an affair with a married man. The heroine's husband was...

      the fucking love, the fucking belief

      1. Everybody want to be loved, but the point is, how to love
      2. Love and hate are twin sisters. They cannot restrain hate because of love, nor can they restrain love because of hate.
      3. The love between two people is a huge and difficult project. The love between three people always ends up hurting everyone.
      4. Will you jump
      for the person you love ? 5. Will your loved one jump for the sake of avoiding your possible death?
      6. If the male protagonist’s little daughter is...

      Unclear paradox enlightenment

      A few words before talking about this movie. When the ancestors of mankind were driven out of the eternal paradise of mankind against God’s will, we seem to understand that from now on, apart from finding and working with our partner to sweat on the land, we must also realize that we have been thrown into a place where we were not originally. In my own world. He must learn to be independent and learn to love. Otherwise, he will be alone.

      The second nonsense, the ancient Greek...

      It's too deliberate, there are enough bridges to baptize one's own soul through other people's experiences. I always feel that the male protagonist is like a TV drama, but it turns out that it is true, and the aura is obviously...

      2013-03-10 It is said to be called "Brokeback Mountain for atheists", but Ang Lee should not accept such a script. The whole story is an extreme dilemma, and it's hard to add euphemisms and rich details. "Whether people will die for love", the answer is obvious, there is no room for maneuver and controversy, and most of the film's efforts have become a burden.

    Movie plot

    Constable Hollis ( Terrence Dashon Howard ) received frustrating news early in the morning-he was an infertile person, and felt that his wife, who had given birth to two children, was always cheating on him and was upset. At the moment, he received a police mission and went to the top of a tall building to persuade a person who tried to commit suicide. The man on the top of the building is called Gavin ( Charles Matthew Hunnam ) . He...

    Evaluation action

    This film is the first Hollywood movie starring Charles Matthew Hunnam , but the response at the sundance film festival is not satisfactory, and the evaluation is not bad. The long flashback of the film makes its title inevitably unrealistic. The plot of the film is rather mysterious, mainly through a dialogue between a man who tried to jump off a building and a policeman that led to a series of flashbacks, involving issues of indecent...
