The world is made up of ordinary

If you look forward to a Hollywood-style commercial blockbuster that seeks plot twists, entertainment, and sensory excitement, then this movie will surely disappoint you.

An Unfinished Life is such a seemingly plain film about ordinary people's lives and ordinary people's feelings, but behind this ordinary story there are strong feelings hidden.

The movie involves a lot of emotions. The black-haired father has been unable to overcome the heartache of losing his beloved son, and lost his way of life in the heartache; the restaurant waitress who has lost his beloved daughter but still faces life bravely; Accidents lead to guilt and escape love forever as a single mother; a little girl who has never had a fatherly love but has always longed for a fatherly affection.

Our lives are full of hardships and frustrations. In order to escape the dissatisfaction of this life, we will watch Hollywood-style blockbusters and escape the heaviness and pain of reality from the various stimuli brought by blockbuster films. But sometimes, we still want to know how others do when facing the pain of life, so we will watch movies that reflect the real life, from the portrayal and catharsis of our own feelings.

This is how An Unfinished Life shows the different aspects of life of several people and the pain and sentiment of each person's heart under the seemingly normal mask. Even such a desperate person can rejuvenate because of love, and life can regain its meaning.

If you have experienced pain, experienced loss, experienced love, you will understand what An Unfinished Life wants to say. Life is meaningful because of love, isn't it? If everyone’s hearts are always pessimistic, full of guilt, full of pain, full of dissatisfaction, full of resentment, and full of accusations, then what is the meaning of life.

This movie is a movie that touches the heart. It has a slight touch on the numbness of life.

I like this movie because it allows me to understand that life still has warmth when relived many frustrations in life.

An Unfinished Life quotes

  • Jean Gilkyson: I flipped a coin. Griffin fliped a coin and I lost. So I was the one who was driving. It was 3 o'clock in the morning and we were both tired. We wanted to make it in time for the rodeo in Great Falls.

  • Jean Gilkyson: I killed him, Einar. Is that what you wanna hear? It wasn't the change in our pockets, or the weak ass coffee, or the rain. It was me. I fell asleep and I flipped the car six times. I killed Griffin. He had no argument from me. You think it's something I forget. You think that I'm not sick with it, that I hate my life? But I tried to keep living, and you haven't. Is that why you hate me so much? You know, you act like I killed you when Griffin died.
