I wanted to find out "A River Runs Through It" and watch it again, but I searched for the film "Unfinished Life" through an affiliate link. One connection between the two films is that Robert Redford is the director in the first film and the lead actor in the second film. I have almost forgotten the melancholy brought by "Lover on the River", but in "Unfinished Life" it rekindled the feeling of life and the exploration of thoughts. The two films have many things in common. , The thinking about life, the re-understanding of life, even the melodious and tactful Irish piano sound, the flowing water-like piano, and the natural scenery pictures of beautiful poetry are quite similar in the two films, although this kind of soundtrack And the picture may not be as good as the "Legends of the Fall", which shows the infinite and profound artistic conception and breathless reverie, but I think this film has done a good job, especially in the increasingly entertaining business. Movie market.

It is not difficult to see that the theme of this film is "forgiveness". We may not be shocked, or may be plain, and no one can predict the setbacks and misfortunes we will encounter, but we can't just live in guilt and self-blame, anger and sorrow, only step out and reopen our hearts. Forgive yourself, forgive others, and even forgive the person who has hurt you (in fact, a bear in the film), let go of all the burdens of the past, give up remorse, and cherish the only tenderness and love in front of you, so that you can face the present and the future calmly , Because maybe what exists is reasonable, you can't change the past, you can only change yourself.



(One advantage of rational pessimists is that even a small touch and happiness can make them ecstatic for a long time, because their concepts have been preset at a low limit, a small Caring for them is simply indescribable extravagantly.)

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.
