That's what it is to be alive

Jack parked his car at the entrance of the bar for a moment, and when he turned around and left, he felt relieved, thinking that the story had turned from here, The way back, the road of return, finally started to the direction of salvation Going forward, the movie must have a good ending, right? So his team started to win; he stopped being indifferent and began to help a child like him when he was young; he and his nephew, niece and even his sister and uncle began to laugh; then he and his high school team defeated the other A very strong team and miraculously entered the playoffs... but life is not a story-so I give 4 stars, because this story makes people feel real. Frustration quickly appeared in Jack’s life again. He saw the patient of his son who died from a brain tumor was admitted to the hospital again. When the doctor brought the news of the parents’ collapse, he was once again knocked down by grief and anger. He drove to a familiar bar and was late to the team after a hangover and was found out by the priest. Even more sad, he went to drink again-this was the way he was most familiar with, and then fainted on the street.

The purpose of religion is to explain people's lives, so that if there is faith, there is sustenance. God wanted Abraham to kill his son, so he went to kill. But calm down is still difficult to convince yourself to accept why a kind person wants to lose his innocent child. "The Road to Return" is more like life than "Manchester by the Sea" is that it is not an accident, but one of countless middle-aged people who have been knocked down because of grief and despair. There is no easy word in adult's life. Even if you don't use alcohol, you still need other outlets to numb this fucking life. After all: "we are have our cross to bear".

I don't like the end of the story very much, it seems that there must be sunshine. The inspiring picture, the father accepts his son who loves basketball, and the team is amazing to enter the field of vision of more people. This is the end of everyone's hope. The fairy tale must have a good ending. Let's leave it to the young children to see it.

    After "Partner", I watched Daben put on work clothes again, and it still felt so harmonious. It seems that blue-collar workers are most suitable for Daben, rather than some rich and super-powerful face paralyzed local tyrant. Carrying this movie on his own, for Big Ben, the cans of beer and the screaming from the side of the arena were really hard work, although the only action scene was falling down the stairs of the neighbor's house. ... The live-action slam dunk-like duel on and off the arena is full of anime, passionate and enjoyable, but ... the word "return" in the title refers to "drinking"? It feels very inspirational, but in fact, it is still a bit sad, and it is not completely lost, and it almost became a bad sell. This is the biggest problem of this film. I am afraid of falling into the stereotypes, and everything is in the stereotypes.
