      incapable of love

      7.7/10 Once upon a time, I stubbornly forced myself to love someone in the way I felt was right, and the other party ran away like being kidnapped, and I was still chasing after him. Later, I experienced it myself, and I couldn't shake the candy wrapper stuck on my hand, and I understood that the other party must have thought me very scary at the time. Love is incompetent, face reality, learn to love yourself first, and grow naturally. The passage of the old man entering the nursing facility in...

      Transferred from a film review by a foreign netizen on IMDB!

      A humane film about human experiences.

      Emotional entanglement, self-awareness

      To put it simply, "The Savages" is the most human look at life I've seen in theaters this year.

      If I had to sum up "The Savages" in one sentence, I think it's the most humanistic work I've seen this year.

      A thought-provoking topic, but a simple story

      Sent to a nursing home? Or take care of someone? Or give up your job and take care of yourself? This is a topic that is neither far nor near.
              In the film, two brothers and sisters who have been busy with their lives and are strangers, have no one to take care of because of the death of their father's girlfriend, and when they suffer from Parkinson's disease and cannot take care of themselves, the two take their father to take care of them, but the two My own living situation is...

      Send Dad the last ride

      The siblings sent their father to a nursing home, full of self-blame. The old man was like a piece of luggage, sitting on a cart and being pulled into the aircraft cabin. They are guilty: He takes care of us better than we take care of him. The poisonous-tongued brother sneered at the younger sister and said that the change of place was just to soothe your guilt, and the beautiful scenery of the nursing home was just to hide the fact that people always die. I was jealous that my sister...

      A brother who has never been able to study acting and just teaches others, a sister who studies art but receives government relief money, is reunited with a father who has Alzheimer's. Although everyone has a brighter future in the end, I don't know what this film wants to express. According to Chang Xian, it should mean "we are a family no matter what"? But what impresses me more is the helplessness of the two people in ideal and reality and the desolation of the old man's evening...

      The film is like seeing a part of our lives, depicting sibling relationships and issues (irresponsible parents abandoning their children / sibling rivalry / midlife crisis / extramarital affairs / uncertain relationships / career setbacks / birth, old age, sickness and death) pain and struggle), they are forced to take care of their demented and dying father together, the acting is natural, the feelings are real.. you may say how boring it is, but this is life! .. also recommend the same type...
