------- -------------------------In the
movie, I did not expect that the prosperous New Yorkers have such a quiet town in the north, and there are so many unknown existences The people, staged scenes of unpretentious stories.
The whole story unfolds in the cold winter, and chaos is covered by the white snow all over the street. The old man was alone, leaning on one-legged lawyer friend in a knee-work compensation lawsuit; if he lost the lawsuit, he stolen and stole the boss's snowplow as compensation; he went around trying to make a living with the poor and honest migrant worker Rub; The unemployed son who was once a university professor; escaped the tense relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and family conflicts; recalled the father who was drinking in his childhood and the mother who suffered from domestic violence. The lifeless life seems to have lost hope.
Then the grandson hiding in the back compartment made the whole story turn around. The grandson's tender remarks in the restaurant made the old man fall into contemplation. He tried to take care of his grandson to make up for the alienated relationship with his son. He assumed responsibility for the family, took care of the charter wife, took care of his friends, gave up his lust... The story gradually spread in the cold snowy day a little bit. Tenderness, such as Rub’s fear of losing the old man’s friendship with his son Peter, who drove to the sidewalk and kept following Rub at the police; such as the conversation between the old man and Rub on the threshold; such as the old man’s flirting with the bar owner; such as the old man Gathering with a group of friends to play cards; for example, the old man in the hospital after the charter wife had a stroke; for example, the friendly relationship with the lawyer even after losing the lawsuit; for example, a affectionate dialogue when parting with the boss’s wife; for example, the pocket watch strap The courage to come. This bit by bit reveals the true meaning of life, which is touching.
BTW, wanna make a friend with somebody like this fat fellow Rub and wanna have an eldership like this old man Sully.
Here are some wonderful and warm lines in the film:
1. The conversation between the old man and his grandson in the restaurant:
-You and Wacker fight all the time?
-Sometimes.
-At least you got even. That's something.
-When Mom and Dad get divorced...
-Divorced?
-When Mom and Dad get divorced, I'm going to go and live with my dad, and Wacker will go and live with Mom. She'll find out how really bad Wacker is.
-Yeah?
-And when Mom and Dad get back together, everything will be different. We'll live in a house instead of an apartment, and I'll have my own room, and Wacker won't be able to play with my toys unless I say so. And Mom and Dad won't argue anymore, or fight about money or anything.
