It tells the story of a black dentist helping a white friend who lost all his wife and daughter in 9/11 to get out of his heart. Plot (two lines): 1. Sexy woman harassment: (1) The frivolous hot girl Donna wants to blow the black man, but is rejected by the black man; (2) Donna bites back, saying that the black man is sexually harassed, and the black man gets into a dispute; (3) Donna again I found a black man and told my own incident: I lived with my husband for 10 years, but my husband had a secret extramarital affair for 5 years. After the divorce, there are abnormal behaviors; 2. Frustrated friends get out of trouble: (1) Communication: Call Charlie on the street, go to his house to play Shadow of the Colossus, and establish a connection; (2) Broken: Black people talk about "fishing for horses" , which made Charlie think he was sent by his parents-in-law, so they fell out; (3) Communication: Charlie took the initiative to find a black man at 10:30 pm, got back with him, and went to see a Mel-Brooks movie at night; (4) Broken : The black father died, but Charlie Newman asked the black man to continue playing with him, causing the relationship between the two to break down; (5) Communication: Charlie came to the door to apologize and brought gift albums "The River" and "Quadrophenia"; (6) Broken: Because of the topic of "missing", Charlie was furious and the two fell out; (7) Communication: The black agreed to Charlie to go out and choose an album, and the two re-communicated. (8) Broken: Set up a "record store encounter" to make Charlie contact a psychiatrist, Charlie sees through, and the two fall out; (9) Communication: Charlie takes the initiative to come to the hospital and admits that he needs help. In the process of consulting Liv Taylor, he learned that the women who were harassing black people were also his patients. Under the guidance of Liv Taylor, Charlie began to talk about his wife and daughter actively; (10) Pistol incident: After taking the initiative to talk about it, he deliberately provoked an issue with an empty pistol and was subdued by the police. When the trial started, the defendant asked Charlie to be free to digest his crux, while the plaintiff wanted to detain him for a year. The plaintiff used the photos of his wife and children to stimulate Charlie, causing him to seriously lose his temper. After the trial, he told his parents-in-law that he did not forget, but because he could see the face of his deceased lover on other people's faces anytime, anywhere. (This paragraph is very vivid and moving) (11) Ending: Charlie moves and befriends Donna, and the black man also talks to his wife and opens up. Charlie Newman's problem: Liv Tyler's psychiatrist in the film calls it "Post-traumatic stress disorder," with her reserved and cramped movements, and the Uncle and Rain Man in "Rain Man" have similar external symptoms. 1. Forgetting: I don’t even remember my college roommates, and I treat my deceased wife and daughter the same, as if I don’t remember them; 2. Solitary: For four years, I don’t socialize with others except the landlord and cleaning lady; 3 . Excited: I am more excited when I am unsatisfactory, for example, when it comes to "fishing for a horse", I decisively fall out; another example, after that, when it comes to "whether I miss the past", I decisively fall out; 4. Renovation (?): Constantly renovating your own kitchen; Answer: According to Charlie in the plot, this is because the last time he talked to his wife, the wife said that he wanted to renovate the kitchen, but he scolded her; 5. Self: Ask friends to follow Do what you want, even if the other's father dies, you have to go out to play with him. Enlightenment: This film actually depicts three mental patients: The black man feels that he and his wife are too demanding of each other, the communication between the two is not always going well, he feels that he needs private space, and he hates his job. Because some patients are annoying; Charlie dares not face the past. Donna spends her days wild. Of course, in the end, everyone takes what they need, makes positive changes, and reunites as a family. However, after all, the emotional fit is not as easy as the black man finally calling his wife. The ending of the movie is just the beginning of the story. A complete "family reunion" requires the joint efforts and time polishing of both ends of the relationship to be realized.

    Some events are not meant to be forgotten, just like some things are not meant to be remembered.

    The two-hour movie passed in those two small scooters and music. The two men also have a closed and delicate heart. Regardless of the background and meaning of the movie, the process of inner liberation makes people feel A feeling and realization, i like this movie~
