Go ahead with "injury"

The film is adapted from the autobiography "Stronger" by Jeff Berman (Jack Gyllenhaal), the victim of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. The film reviews Berman’s life trajectory before the tragedy, and it forms a great emotional contrast with the main line of the tragedy and Berman’s rebirth. Although it is an old routine to stimulate emotions, it is a film for the unyielding spirit that the film wants to convey. Used practically. The "demon" of the finish line destroyed Berman's legs, and naturally the soul was damaged, and it should be from beginning to end. It is not the protagonist in some movies of the same type that completely walked out of the haze. This is the real appearance. There is no doubt that Gyllenhaal is very firm on this point. Even with Hurley (Tatiana Maslani) in the end, he still tells the audience with his eyes that that period of history still hurts me, but I decided to endure the pain and move forward with "injury". What the explosion can't destroy is Berman's strength. Face everything and stay strong. Even if the love between Hurley and Berman ended in divorce in real life, it would be too narrow to use "difficulties may not necessarily see the truth". After all, life is complicated and changeable, and it is not only supported by love. This is not in the movie. Adopted, but the two people hand in hand to close the curtain. This treatment may have created a perfect ending, or it may make the film a little less thick. The film uses Berman's personal spirit to accumulate and encourage: in the face of setbacks and challenges, stand up in love and be strong for yourself.

    This is the type of American biopic that I don't want to see the least. It looks at the characters from the most mundane and superficial perspective, but is incapable of deconstructing the emotions of the characters and the heroism and national spirit behind them. If you want to know about Jeff Bauman or the Boston bombings, I recommend you to watch more complete and documentary related documentaries and textual materials; if you just want to watch "movies", then I advise you not to waste time. ★★

    Before really accepting it, we must learn to understand that strength comes from not relying on it. The heroine looks like Lin Jiaxin, especially the nose part.
