Think about it in strict accordance with the "four steps" script:
1. Encounter problems
2. Solve problems, act quickly
3. Actions encounter a certain period of stagnation, during which the characters begin to change their minds
4. Solve problems
5. End ( +Minor characters find their belongings)

But I really like this movie, why is the score so low. The idea is very attractive, and some things may sound ridiculous at first, but it is always amazing if a bunch of people do it! Some places are slightly clichéd and repetitive, and I basically rely on my lines to support my impressions, but some scenes can really be written by "understandable people". I began to think that a well-written script is really important. Those so-called personal experience or personality are just ice on the cake, which makes this film "your" film, and it makes the film look closer to people. Give the audience a step forward on the question, and sometimes lead them to find their own answers.

Keira Knightley and Norton’s line is the weakest. It’s basically a pile of old clever words, and Knightley is almost paralyzed, so in the end "love" said the obvious heavy blow to the male protagonist. The speech was a bit distorted, but I think the screenwriter had a good grasp of the strength when writing the lines, and restrained the distorted feeling. Norton’s father-daughter line is about things coming and going fast, I hope it’s so easy to repair the relationship. Similarly, the "time" actor is too young. His last words to Winslet did not match, "your kids don't have to come from you, they come through you" WHAAAT? He should simply talk about his experience. don't try to sound wise, it never comes with anything but white hairs and wrinkles. The old actor of the small script haha.

Because most of the previous part of the play is written very truthfully, the final ending is actually not used as such. It is not necessarily Helen Mirren who said collateral beauty, and they don't have to stand on the bridge and disappear. The game of Wife and Husband play strangers is really time-tested...

PS: Kate Winslet looks so attractive whenever he looks! The kind of woman who is easily moved, romantic, and a bit clumsy and dull. She stood in the middle of the Christmas tree and said "close your eyes and breath it in." Then she was interrupted and pulled to a side bench to sit down. She didn’t mind, as if she waved her hand and said “oh, reality! okay, anyway”, and then next time, she would still do it, as if to isolate herself from reality in her own way, she just wanted Experience the kind of happiness that people say, that seems to be really simple. isn't that fantastic ?!

    Love, Time and Death, the standard Hallmark Christmas slice level. The setting of the trio of young actors is the most interesting, but they were all too abrupt in the process of getting to know Howard. And the trio of colleagues headed by Norton, their respective problems are burdensome to the film, it is better to delete them all. Seeing that Will exhausted his energy for Chong Ao, I still want to say please keep going == because you can always find something in him that other actors don't have.

    It's a healing story. It's told in general, the script is mediocre, and the acting skills of the big names are all online. Unfortunately, the overall feeling is not good.

Collateral Beauty quotes

  • Amy: [as the personification of Love] I know you don't believe me, but you have to trust me.

    Howard: Trust you? Trust you?

    Amy: Yes!

    Howard: I *did* trust you! And you betrayed me! I saw you every day in her eyes, and I heard you in her voice when she laughed, and I felt you inside of me when she called me "Daddy." And you betrayed me! You broke my heart.

    Amy: No. I'm in all of it. I'm the darkness and the light, I'm the sunshine and the storm. Yes, you're right, I was there in her laugh, but I'm also here now in your pain. I'm the reason for everything. I am the only "why." Don't try and live without me, Howard. Please don't.
