    A miraculous tenderer emotion awaits in the dark

    I don't know why, when I'm in a bad mood, I often think of this movie. The first time I saw this movie, I was moved to tears as a young man in the dark on a lonely afternoon in that lovely city in southern China.

    Former country singer Mike divorced his wife due to alcoholism and domestic violence. He woke up in a Texas hotel with nothing left, and the young and beautiful hostess Rose gave him tender mercy and fell in love with him and married him. He was once great and rich, but after being hit, he lost his courage and wanted to give up singing. With the company and support of Ross and Sonny, he quit drinking, was baptized, and resumed singing. The film condenses his inner journey and character arc, and the songs are soft and melodious.

The best is like water, and it should be like this with softness. The self-consistent logic used in the play is: her inner strength is the gentle mercy given by God. How to love someone is a science, little boys are cute and gentle like their mothers, and they are all loved in the end. The singer's daughter died tragically, but from the point of view of the story, it is an indispensable plot.

Tender Mercies quotes

  • Mac Sledge: [to Rosa Lee] I don't know why I wandered out to this part of Texas drunk, and you took me in and pitied me and helped me to straighten out, marry me. Why? Why did that happen? Is there a reason that happened? And Sonny's daddy died in the war, my daughter killed in an automobile accident. Why? See, I don't trust happiness. I never did, I never will.

  • Woman with Groceries: Hey, mister, were you really Mac Sledge?

    Mac Sledge: Yes, ma'm, I guess I was.
