broken life
Keeley 2022-10-27 20:04:35
I thought it would be a love story between a widowed male protagonist and a single mother, but it was not. The single mother played more like a listener, helping the male protagonist to understand himself and break the life he was originally dissatisfied with. The male protagonist didn't love his wife originally, and was dissatisfied with the job his father-in-law arranged for him that he didn't like. After his wife died unexpectedly, he had a chance to re-acquaint himself and choose a new life. Recalling the bits and pieces of his wife, and realizing that he had neglected and hurt his wife, the grief of losing his wife came slowly at this time. The movie depicts the emotional changes of the male protagonist very delicately, and Jake Gyllenhaal also interprets it very well, which is not even stronger than those routine love movies. The movie tells us that in a numb life, especially a numb life with dissatisfaction, people tend to ignore their true emotions, ignore what they really want, and ignore some cherished people and things in life, so Only by examining your own life and emotions in a timely manner and breaking your usual habits and ways of thinking can help you grasp life, and you will not regret the loss of some precious things.

Chris: Maybe Andrew White. He's a junior, and we have the same gym class too. We have to get changed together.
Davis: Do you watch him when you get changed?
Chris: No.
Davis: Well then I don't think you're gay, Chris.
Chris: I have to try not to look. I have to tell myself not to.
Davis: Yeah, no, that's normal, you know. I mean, you're young and curious, it's...
Chris: Sometimes I imagine his dick in my mouth.
Davis: Oh. That's different.
