In the end we can only be saved by love

Favorite section & heartbreaking song

The movie is so good that I want to get ten stars! The theme elements that I prefer or have been paying attention to are all presented without presupposing and (as far as possible) without subjective thinking (completely objective is difficult)-the division and integration of the family, love, writing. In the family shown in the movie, the father is a famous writer. He gained fame because of a novel before and after the marriage. The training method for the two brothers and siblings is entirely an extension of writing training. Life, studies, making friends, and love are all for writing. Accumulate materials. The communication is very open, and the father-son relationship is loose and close. My father divorced because of the artist's mother's betrayal, but he was always immersed in the fantasy that his wife would return one day, and he even took a peek at the family life of his remarried ex-wife. He was very happy because of the other party's quarrel. It must be mentioned that his inspiration dried up after the divorce, and he never published any wonderful works. Unlike her father's obsession and tolerance, her sister Samantha has always been cherished by her mother's betrayal, hurting her deeply and never forgiving. She repeatedly derogated her in front of her father and younger brother at the dinner table, alienated her from her life, erased her presence, and prevented effective and normal communication. The hatred of her mother affected Sam's outlook on love. In her feelings, she never gave her true heart, was clever and unruly, flirted with various boys and had sex with various boys. She referred to this as writing and absorbing life experience. (At this point, my father understands and agrees.) The younger brother's personality is just the opposite. He is sensitive, shy, talented, gentle and dedicated, and likes Kate, a lively and geeky girl in the class. This is of course a typical school romance routine. Girls always have endless athletes to be boyfriends, and boys are always shy and always have a crush on masochism (he also writes poems for her). The two brothers and sisters have a secret confrontation because of the speed of writing and the frequency of publication. (Really an idealized and bizarre family of writers) But while they were protected by their father (not caring about daily chores) and devoted themselves to their writing, they had friction with their father due to issues such as writing concepts and themes. Sam modified her debut work because of her father's intervention. Even if it became easier to publish, she still gave up the unrecognizable work. The younger brother was reminded repeatedly by his father that he had not yet written a masterpiece, and called him an empty shell writer with a lack of life experience (mainly love). There is no doubt that the teenagers who grow up in such a family are full of drama. They are talented, well-educated, cultivated and shaped deliberately by their parents, and their families are broken. In the eyes of the father, writing is ultimately helped by love, which is of course love for young people. This is the reason why he has been unable to write good works after his divorce, and it is also the crux of his younger brother's inability to publish new books in his teenage years. The clue of the movie's progress is also romance. My sister finally met her opponent. He happened to have the shyness, enthusiasm, talent, and fun of his younger brother. He was also a young writer, and he recognized and distinguished her from the first sight. The right stalker (for his character, it’s his nature to release only when he really meets true love), stubbornly reappears after being repeatedly rejected, a little bit of groping to open her heart knot (she knows The two people like the same novel the most and escape and retreat). The music in the car was heartbreaking (Elliott Smith-Between the bars, highly recommended), and Sam finally openly admitted that they were in love. This is one of my favorite bridges. Encountering a lover, and he happens to have the same preferences, the time and place are all right, and he has the patience to resolve all her shadows. The younger brother also conquered his heart-threatening girl. At the launch of his sister's new book, Sam accepted his father's solemn and emotional speech, but still did not accept his mother's kindness, and even didn't want to sign her who was holding the new book. Because Kate got into a promiscuity party after drinking again, the family reached a settlement while looking for her. In the end, the mother returned, and the siblings found their love, a perfect fairy tale. Jennifer Connelly, who plays the mother, has few scenes, but she is still wonderful. She is really beautiful, and Lily Collins, who plays the daughter, looks a bit like her eyebrows, and the casting is very good. Lily's performance was also good, and she finally got away from the impression of the young silly heroine. My favorite is of course Logan Lerman. Like "Wallflower Boy", he is smart, funny, shy, direct, enthusiastic and sensitive, and he is the perfect lover. He and Curly Jesse are a type of charming teenager. In the movie, writing is inspired by love. Whether it's meeting a boy who is willing to open up with him, or a first love that starts with sweetness, but ends with a broken heart. In the end, only love makes us so delicate, real, painful, and sweet. The shadow and self-destructive tendency caused by intimacy, the lasting damage caused by betrayal and divorce, the refusal to touch and withdraw the hand, the tenderness caused by the hidden side of the lover... In the end, only love can be saved. To borrow the title of a movie review by a bean friend, "Stuck but still", trapped in love, but still believe in love. Just end it with a poem that my brother wrote when he peeked at the sleeping Kate in class—— I remember that it hurts,

Stuck in Love. quotes

  • Bill Borgens: I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.

  • Samantha Borgens: There are two kinds of people in this world: hopeless romantics and realists.

    Rusty Borgens: Right.

    Samantha Borgens: A realist just sees that face and packs it in with every other pretty girl they've ever seen before. The hopeless romantic becomes convinced that God put them on Earth to be with that one person. But there is no God and life is only as meaningful as you fool yourself into thinking it is. Guys who get laid a lot are realists. You should be listening.
