too slow

I like the music at the beginning of the film, it gives people a carefree feeling, but it doesn't match the status quo of the two protagonists at the beginning. . .
9/11 caused great pain to those involved, and Charlie was one of them. Because of the fear that he closed himself up, he did not dare to think about his wife and daughter's dog who died in the accident. Whenever he accidentally touched it, he would fall into grief and lose control. . Because he blamed himself for impatiently rejecting the request of his wife and daughter to renovate the kitchen under the pretext of being busy with work, he renovated the kitchen over and over again in order to get spiritual relief. . .
And Ellen is like many successful men in reality, with an enviable job and a seemingly happy family. But busy work and boring life are like a glass of boiled water, calm and boring. . .

Who can guarantee peace and tranquility in this lifetime?
Who can guarantee that the climax is high and interesting in this lifetime?

Whether you are happy or not, life goes on. .

so...have fun!

    Escape all memory of the past. The kitchen that has been renovated tens of thousands of times is constantly reminded to take off your shoes and enter the house. Who can understand his pain? Who else does he have when you have each other? The lover he promised to take care of for a lifetime, the three little angels linked by blood, and even the poodle left in the raging fire.

    The two protagonists have sad faces, making people irresistible~ When Charlie, who lost his wife and daughter in despair and autism, met Alan, who was lost in a small self-space, two men who were also trapped in family problems miraculously healed each other. , I am so lucky to have such a friendship! The songs in it are also well matched~ The pain that I can cry and tell is not the deepest~ Pretending to forget is the most painful... 4

Reign Over Me quotes

  • [Charlie is meeting Angela for the first time. Angela goes off to get a cup of coffee]

    Charlie Fineman: Are you kidding me? She's a baby.

    Alan Johnson: Listen, you're right, she's young. But, she's-she's good. She's got a lot of experience with *loss* and grief counseling. Just give her a...

    Charlie Fineman: [interrupting] She's got nice tits, that's not good.

    Alan Johnson: Since when?

    Charlie Fineman: [pause] Good point.

    Alan Johnson: Listen. Look, we'll just do the meet-and-greet, you'll see what you think and if you like her, we'll just... we'll go from there.

    Charlie Fineman: Am I wrong about her tits, though?

    Alan Johnson: No, you're right. They're wonderful.

    Angela Oakhurst: So what are you guys talking about? What's so wonderful?

    [silence from Charlie and Alan]

  • Alan Johnson: You know, my wife and I, we tried to call him so many times. Hadn't seen him in years, and I erad about what happened in the paper, and I was just... I was just heartbroken for him. For them.

    Ginger Timpleman: He just shut down. Quit work. He stopped wanting to talk about her. Then he acted like he didn't remember them. Then he pretended he didn't remember us.

    Alan Johnson: Yeah.

    Ginger Timpleman: All my husband and I want to do is see him. And that crazy landlady and his business manager, Sugarman, both conspire to keep us away.

    Alan Johnson: Sugarman?

    Ginger Timpleman: Yeah, I don't care for him. Who knows what that little shyster's taking from Charlie.

    Alan Johnson: What is there to take?

    Ginger Timpleman: Between the government payout and the insurance policy, Charlie has enough to take care of himself, put it that way. My husband retired young. He was a cop. We were young, young to be grandparents. I was gonna do nothing but travel and spoil my granddaughters. Then those monsters flew over here from across the world, and rearranged my dance card.
