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!

Reign Over Me quotes

  • Charlie Fineman: I have no one. At least you two have each other.

    [Charlie kisses Ginger Timplemen, his mother-in-law, on her cheek and walks away]

  • Charlie Fineman: [Charlie looks at Alan] I had three daughters.

    Alan Johnson: [surprised] I... I know.

    Charlie Fineman: Geena was five. Jenny was seven, she, uh... she liked boys already. Julie was 9. She was... she was older. They all looked alike, Johnson. Like Doreen. Doreen was my wife. DT. That was her nickname. Doreen Timpleman. She had a dog, Spider. Spider... the poodle. They'd wake me up all the time, Saturday mornings, you know, singing Beatles songs to me in harmony, the four of them... so cute, so cute. Doreen never judged me... never nagged like some wives do. Wanted me to take my shoes off so I didn't wreck the carpet. That's it. Doreen and the girls were VERY female. I... I... I was the oddball, you know. Mr. Man. They adored me, Johnson...

    Alan Johnson: I bet they did... I know they did, Charlie.

    Charlie Fineman: With the long brown hair... except little Geena. She kept the hair short... to be different from everybody... she, um, she had a birthmark, though. Looked like a burn... but it wasn't. She always said it was gonna go away, but it... it never did. Jenny, Jenny, this one... she wanted to be a gymnast. She was such a klutz, though. I didn't have the heart to mention it as a problem. They, uh, went to see Doreen's sister Ellen and her girls in Boston, and they took Spider, because... I had to work and they didn't trust me to feed her, but that was a joke. We were all going to DT's little cousin's wedding in Los Angeles, and I was gonna meet them out there... The kids wanted to go to Disneyland, but they... they uh, were already gonna miss a couple days of school, so we had to say no. You know. So I'm going out to meet them in Los Angeles, and on the way to JFK, I'm in a taxicab and I hear on the radio...

    [slowly starts to cry]

    Charlie Fineman: I get there and the man tells me the plane's from Boston... another man tells me there's two planes.

    [sobs]

    Charlie Fineman: Then I go inside the airport and I'm watching. I'm watching on the television... and I... and I... I... I saw it. I saw it and I felt it at the same time. I thought about Geena's birthmark, and I... I felt them burning...
