watching this film, I am very touched. But what I want most is to ride that electric scooter for a circle on the street~~~ It's really a good movie. I read it in a magazine before and it's good, so I'll go down and watch it, the pace is a bit slow, Overall good.

No matter how we understand it, it is impossible for us to truly feel Lao Mei's mood after 9/11. This kind of thing can't be explained by just talking. Losing all of your loved ones in one day, life is completely changed, you are alone, I think no matter how strong people are, they are going to break down...

Charlie is like this, he refuses to think about it, refuses to discuss everything about his family He always wears headphones to isolate the outside world, although he can still hear it. His behavior was abnormal because he couldn't find his own way of living, hiding from his father-in-law and mother-in-law, because his wife's last words before her death renovated the kitchen, and he kept playing a game. Forgetting his former self, forgetting his classmates and forgetting his friends, he knew everything. He chooses, escapes, forgets. When other people mentioned these things, he became manic and continued to run away. But ostriches always pull their heads out of the ground, and when Charlie utters his first words to Alan, it's his first step into a new life. It can't be said that Charlie is back to normal in the end, at least he chooses to talk to someone else, whether it's Alan, his father-in-law, or someone else, he's starting to find his own life. There's a song on Charlie's iPod that keeps singing Reign over me, which is the theme of the movie.

Alan, on the other hand, did not live the life he wanted. The female patient threw himself into his arms, took into account the opinions of other doctors in the clinic, did what his wife asked him to do, endured the quarrel of his parents, and was always reluctant to seek help. admit. In a big house and a big family, living a peaceful but tasteless life. Until I met Charlie again, I just wanted to help him at first, but I found out that Charlie's own life can make him happier, and Charlie's abnormal, vulnerable, and evasive makes the friendship between the pair of friends so difficult... Actually Alan is helping himself when he helps Charlie, he begins to understand what life means to him now, and he also makes a change to be braver. Freshman.

The people around have their own stories and their own misfortunes. They care about each other, resolve their loneliness and sadness, and continue walking on the street while licking their wounds. This is our way, to accept.

I asked my mother if the life she was living now was what she wanted, and she answered me very simply: no. Asked me if I want to live now, I said I have only lived for a few years, what kind of life can I live, my mother said that I didn't think about what I want to live, and asked them to come every day Order them to go~~~ Ha ha. Maybe, I really didn't think about it. I always say go with the flow, and I don't know if I can really do it. In fact, even if it is not the life we ​​want now, how can it be? Don't you have to live? It's too difficult to find an ideal life. After so long, even if you are unwilling, you can only complain in your heart, and the rest is to live honestly.

The movie starts with Charlie riding the car and ends with Alan riding away. A reincarnation, but everyone's life and mood are different.
