"we are not bad people we just come from a bad place"
my sister sissy said this, I think it was based on the quarrel between the two people in front of me, my brother brandon said that my sister was a parasite, screwing things up every time, and always doing nothing like this Change. The sister later said he was not qualified to speak about her sex life.
It seems that they are not "good people". The younger sister wants to make peace, but the elder brother is tired. He's always hated her (which is a bit different from the brother-sister view. Each has his own opinion)

Actually he doesn't really hate his sister that much, he's just angry. He should know this sister very well, and it's not that he didn't give her a chance. She must be like this all the time, so he feels that it is really hopeless, and he doesn't want to care about her. It's best for her not to bother him. You can tell from the beginning that she refused to answer her phone. But the family love is still there. His sister begged him pitifully, and he agreed to let her live. In the end, his sister fell in a pool of blood, and he was still very sad.
sissy is the opposite of him. She just needs people to rely on, to be warm and to love. She is like this to her brother and her boyfriend. In fact, sissy is also very simple. If someone loves him, he will fall easily. The boss is a little bit, and he clearly knows that he has a family.
we just come from a bad place, in fact, the film does not introduce too much, only when barandon was dating, he mentioned that he was born in ireland, moved here when he was a teenager, and has a sister. If his parents came to the US together, then he didn't live with them, maybe a bit alienated, because he is never seen calling his family in the film, and only his sister called. ok, maybe these are not very important, nor is the director's focus, so I personally think that he doesn't want to have too much contact with his family, which can be reflected from his attitude towards marriage. Maybe his parents really got divorced or didn't get along well, which left a bad influence on him, so he and his sister came from a bad place.


Why did he cry when his sister sang. In fact, my understanding here still needs to be considered, so I won't talk about it for the time being.

I think he still hates his sex addiction, but he just can't get over it. Sex, who is very distant from family, but can be very devoted to strangers. This is caused by his heart. He wants to take Marianne seriously, but when he thinks of taking him seriously, he can't. . . I'm not saying that he didn't do it. In fact, I didn't think he couldn't do it at all. It was just that he didn't want to continue, so he stopped. Maybe he felt unfair to marianne. He knew he couldn't give marianne the commitment she wanted, and only sex was wrong.


In the end, he felt that he was responsible for his sister's suicide. This was an extreme consequence. Fortunately, he did not die, but the lesson he had taught him was very profound, and he should take family affection more seriously. Give some more time to be sissy (but this woman is really good at it, it will cause confusion)


I like the part where he cried very much, he acted so well. Some actors cry, you know he is shouting and roaring on purpose and doing it for you to see. He is not. His cries and expressions came naturally out of sadness. Although he was a man, he did well in some respects, but his weakness was shown unpretentiously in that crying scene. See I just wanted to hug him, sobbing like a child. . .

At the end of the subway, do you think he kept up? Judging from the expression, it is different from the first subway encounter, so if you look at the expression, it should not be. But if there are twists and turns, it is not impossible. The director did not continue to talk about it. It is just right to receive it here~


Anyway, I like this movie very much, and it is too late to say more.
