      Did you see robes or lice?

      Life is a gorgeous robe covered with lice. These are the words of Miss Zhang Ailing. Rodin said: The world never lacks beauty, but lacks the eyes to discover beauty. It's all about angles. There is beauty in life and there is beauty in it. Luck or not, happiness or not is only related to the perspective and attitude of the parties concerned. Life is too short to live so clearly. Find an angle to make yourself feel lucky and happy, this is the serious thing.

      Are the three protagonists...

      not a road movie

      It seems like it's one of those road movies, but it is more than that. The story is well written, it gives a lot of time for the characters to develop emotionally, and Rachel McAdams's very well acted in this one, it's much better than her performance in "the notebook". I heard she participated in a boot camp just for preparing for this roll.
      In most of the parts, the movie is serious, also it has some funny moments, which made me laugh out loud.
      But just the ending, I haven't thought...

      A new work on the theme of the Iraq War

      Movies about the Iraq War may be becoming a genre of American movies.
      [the Lucky Ones] is such a war-themed film in Iraq that did not face the war, nor was it masked. In the form of a road movie, it tells the story of three Iraqi soldiers of different genders, ages and skin colors on their way back home from the New York airport. As the female soldier Colee said when the three of them first hit the road, those who can survive on the battlefield are the lucky ones, the lucky ones. In this...

      There are a lot of emotions brewing on the road, a lot of mentality changes on the road, a lot of things happen on the road, three people, a journey, from the end to the beginning again. Everyone has their own story, everyone has their own helplessness, and finally they all found themselves and found a common direction, we should always believe that we are the lucky one, and everything will become better. good.
      A very good road movie. From a certain perspective, good luck is actually a...

      WE ARE ALL THE LUCKY ONES

      YES? YES! THANK YOU? THANK YOU! ///// 7. 12 THE LUCKY ONES All problems that can be solved with money are not problems All encounters that can be reunited are not counted as random encounters The plane flies high into the sky and the sky is the color of the T-shirt I like. The flesh color is not blue or red It is about army but there is no blood, but when the camera sweeps over each face at the end, we seem to see a lot of stories outside the battlefield of the army. Everyone is different in...

      I regard this movie as an American theme movie, but this judgment is a bit arbitrary. I feel that the United States in this movie is very beautiful, everyone thinks of others, and everyone will say thank you. In the end, the three returned Battlefield, meeting at the airport, smiling to each other is better than...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Although starring Tim Robbins is a well-known anti-war figure in Hollywood, the film shows a neutral attitude towards war, so the US military graciously helped in the filming of the film.
    Country music trio Dixie Chicks ultimately did not agree to use their six songs on the film's soundtrack. Because they and Lionsgate did not reach an agreement on the division of the film.
    Tim Robbins formed his own band, and during the filming he also...

    Shooting process

    As a road film, in order to shoot different speeds and scenery, the director specially ordered a car that can be driven on the roof. In this regard, Neil Burger said that the speed of the car was 65 kilometers per hour, and some people were quarreling inside. Someone throws things out of it. How can such a scene be filmed? In general, the most traditional method can be used to lay the track to make the car go along the track, and then...

    Evaluation action

    The film can be considered a "war film" in a broad sense. But in fact, this is not so much the reaction of the protagonists under the fire of the war, but the reaction of the characters after they leave the war. Strictly speaking, the film is a road movie, in the tradition of road films, it tells the journey of several protagonists from point A to point B, along the way they encounter difficulties, encounter "colorful" people, and I...

    Movie quotes

    • [Colee and T.K. wish Cheaver good luck on his drive to his brother's house, still depressed over his wife wanting a divorce]

      T.K. Poole: Don't drive straight through, okay? You'll get into a wreck.

      Fred Cheaver: Not a bad idea.

      Colee Dunn: What?

      Fred Cheaver: Kiss a telephone pole going 90. Collect some life insurance money.

      T.K. Poole: No, no, no, no, no, no. Forget that, because insurance doesn't pay for suicide.

      Fred Cheaver: [Cheaver smiles] Not if it's an accident.

      T.K. Poole: All right, enough with the crazy talk, please?

    • [T.K. talks to Colee about being a leader]

      T.K. Poole: If you wanna move up in the world, you gotta have skills. Basic skills.

      Colee Dunn: Yeah? What are your skills?

      T.K. Poole: Leadership. I'm a leader.

      Colee Dunn: Me, too.

      T.K. Poole: No, you're a private. That's the opposite of a leader.

    • [T.K. talks to his girlfriend on the phone and says to his girlfriend that he's traveling with two guys]

      Colee Dunn: [as T.K. hangs up the phone Colee responds] Oh my, lord. You're one good liar. You know that? But, just so you know, that's not a good thing. That just makes you a big phony.

      T.K. Poole: But most of what I said was true.

      Colee Dunn: Except you forgot the part about the titty bars.

      T.K. Poole: It's 'cause I'm not going to a titty bar.

      Colee Dunn: It seems to me if you can't tell your soul mate the truth then maybe she's not really your soul mate.

      T.K. Poole: I didn't say she was my soul mate.

      Colee Dunn: If Randy lied to me... I'd take that guitar and I would bust it over his head and the damn lap dancers, too!
