The publication of the letter on the front page of the newspaper aroused a strong response from the society. Teresa is going to find the emotional owner of the letter. Deep down in my heart I also feel that this will be the beginning of a new love for myself.
As she wishes, Teresa meets Garrett (Kevin Costner), a ship mechanic. Two people who closed their hearts fell in love at first sight.
Garrett has been unable to come out of the shadow of grief since the death of his painter wife, Catherine, due to illness. In the face of new love, his contradictions follow step by step. Garrett's father, Dodge (Paul Newman), has been trying to pull his son out of this sad abyss. With the encouragement of his father, Garrett came to Chicago. He did accidentally discover the letter in the bottle in Teresa's drawer, and began to doubt Teresa's love for her. A man sadly returns to North Carolina. After releasing the knot, Garrett removed his ex-wife's oil paintings and other relics, ready to start a new life. However, when he took the last letter in a bottle and sailed alone to the deep sea to say goodbye to his ex-wife. An accident happened.
Two people who love each other don't end up being a match made in heaven. The entire film leaves the audience with a deep sigh behind the strong emotion.
I have to say that the director understands life very well, as well as the deep heart of the characters. The actors' performances are also very good. The seemingly ordinary life can also give people a strong feeling. The love between men and women, the love between father and son, and the emotion between men are all portrayed in three parts. The only downside is Garrett's death at the end of the film. Death is not abrupt, but I personally feel that if there is more weight, the film will be balanced and perfect.
In fact, domestic directors are not without their homework, but the expressions of many films are very extroverted. Take Feng Xiaogang's "1942" as an example. From his own evaluation, it can be seen that this is his painstaking work, and the film has basically met his expectations, but most people's perceptions are more miserable. , and sympathy. Does it really take us back to that era? No;
domestic movies have a long way to go~~~
