An irreversible life, stuart's love & hate

The first time I saw this type of film, a short story about the homeless, but just right to reveal all kinds of life: whether our life has footnotes from the beginning, such as childhood shadows. Everyone's outward manifestations have a deep inner root cause.


STUART SHORTER has never thought of overturning his life, although I have it myself from time to time. A person's growth environment and life experience cannot be rewritten. Apart from facing it, this is my life experience for many years.
STUART is a kind-hearted little boy, but life seems to show all the bad things in front of him, childhood shadows, physical defects, and violent tendencies formed on this basis, etc. Alcohol and drugs are his escape from pain crutch. But ALEXANDER's appearance, and his proposal to write an autobiography, was perhaps the most illuminating moment of his life, yet he left the world in an unacceptable way.



There are many such people in our lives. They are often anonymous. They are souls wandering the streets in the middle of the night. ALEXANDER initially wanted to approach STUART out of work needs and curiosity, but when he got to know STUART, he found something that attracted him, such as STUART's confession, showing himself as a typical person everywhere, and helping him in order to rescue him of people running to appeal.

There is a scene in the film that makes my impression hard to erase. When STUART is driving, the camera is aimed at the tattoos on his left and right hands. The four fingers of his right hand are "LOVE", and the four fingers of his left hand are "HATE". I can clearly articulate what he hates, but I can't articulate what he loves. If he had a lot of love for this world, he wouldn't kill himself? …
The version I watched on Baofeng was very vague, but if there is a new source of 720P, I will definitely watch it again. This is a rare film that is thought provoking and thought provoking. Warm, moving but not exaggerated tearjerking.

Writing here, I think of the crazy woman who often stands in the middle of the intersection on the street corner, with her one-year-old child, performing and singing to the passing traffic, who can understand her heart, who Can you tell the story behind her? STUART was lucky, at least he met ALEXANDER. The ordinary soul on the street has long been lost and has no voice to reveal...
