"An unfinished life" ( "unfinished life")

Honestly, just started watching this film, I felt a little dull, but it did not understand what he was saying, just hold since it has been read to read all the psychological and It continued, but the more I looked down, the more I was attracted by what it wanted to express.

forgive.

The bear that attacked Mickey appeared again on the farm. Jane, who was abused by her boyfriend, took her daughter Griff out of the magic cave and returned to Griff’s grandfather’s farm in desperation. The story of forgiveness and forgiveness unfolds here. All knots must be untied, and all confusions must be broken.

The death of his son made Ennar unable to face life correctly, and attributed all the reasons to Jane, even his granddaughter. This is unfair to Jane, Griff, or Ennar himself. The accident happened neither as Jane hoped nor her intention. The accident is that you don't know what will happen in the future.

"But your granddaughter is still alive, and you are still alive, have you ever thought that she will think of you one day." Mickey's words awakened Ennar's love for her granddaughter, and that love contains nostalgia for her son. .

Although Mickey had been living in the painful state after being attacked by a bear, he did not blame Ennar who was drunk that day, after all, no one knew that something like that would happen. He still kindly called the bear that attacked him "my bear", even if there was still a little bit of resentment and hatred, he even cared about the bear's life in the zoo after he was caught. When he watched the bear's panic and helpless appearance in the cage, his bit of resentment turned to ashes. He begged Ennar to let it go.

The last time Mickey and the bear met, when the bear screamed and rushed towards Mickey, my heart couldn't help but pick it up. Will it attack Mickey again? But it stopped, and finally left facing the calm Mickey. I was thinking: Did it sense something? Realize that the old man in front of you is someone you have attacked before? Because of his forgiveness, because of his tolerance, it was given freedom again?

At the end of the film, there is a dialogue between Ennar and Mickey

Ennar: "Do you think those dead people will care about our lives?"
Mickey: "I think they will. I think they will forgive us for our faults. I even think it should be an easy thing for them. "
Enner: "Grif said you had a dream about flying."
Mickey: "Yes. I flew so high, Enner . I can see the blue mountains become darker. From You can see everything here, and now I think there is nothing in the world that cannot be forgiven.

Forgive, let yourself let go of resentment, no longer let resentment control your life and control your mood.

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.
