The place where you are is my home, I have known it from the night I knew you for many years

When the long-haired and melancholic JOLIE was sitting at the piano and playing "Impressions of Childhood", I could hardly believe that the same woman had just finished filming the "Tomb Raider 2", and she did not see any wildness or bravery in her body. There is a deep longing for someone in the silhouette. After that, it was even more surprising that time went back to the winter of 1984. She had short hair and a simple white dress. This woman actually had a shy smile, just like the SARAH she played. In her early 20s, a young lady from the upper class is attending a charity party with her fiance to celebrate the relief of Africa. And that night, he broke into their clothes and temples, took a scrawny black boy in the refugee camp where he practiced medicine to mock such a banquet, and also for his patients—those who were forgotten by the world in sickness and hunger in a little bit of death swallow
bite to those who help the rich - though such a fierce speech was interrupted by the police. No one else was impressed by him that night. NICK, played by CLIVE, was an impulsive person, and some were brutal inconsistent with his doctor status. But she shed tears in his speech, and made up her mind to send a batch of supplies to his relief area.

Ethiopia, she came here all the time. A terrifying scene made her yell for the truck to stop. A vulture was staring at a child who had become a thin skeleton. Not far away, her mother had a big opening in her belly, and flies were flying around. . The mother and daughter were on the truck, but they were stopped by armed men on the way. Fortunately, he came to mediate. He didn't look at her much after he had rescued her, and laughed at her idea of ​​helping her mother and son, because he had seen too many such situations. In his surprise, her persistence made him agree to the operation "YOU WEAR PERFUME IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKIN DESERT..." His ridicule remained the same. But in her insistence on the child, he gradually moved behind his indifference, eavesdropping on her piano at night, then walked to her tent to awkwardly accosted, smiled more awkwardly and stared blankly. There is a possibility that it is permeating in the warm light of the white candle, but she will leave soon. Before leaving, she asked: Why do you never call my name
. After a long monologue, he held back his tears and said: If everyone I lost had a name...she was speechless, and finally left without saying goodbye. His gaze sent her far away, and water spurted out like a miraculous well after a long time. Maybe someone just gave us hope in despair.

She went home and started to be a desperate housewife. When her unemployed husband said he was going for an interview, she ran into a woman at home. In 1989, his colleague ELLIOT came to London to visit her, to transport a batch of supplies under the banner of the United Nations where she worked. She took the initiative to ask for it, because the person she was thinking about day and night could finally see you again. But Cambodia is still dangerous. The supplies he transported were hidden in arms and even maps. They escaped from Luca’s army, but lost their colleagues in the riots caused by a band of bandits who suddenly broke into the refugee camp. , And had to take the entire refugee camp to flee. On the night when he finally arrived at the destination, he was in a room with her. She confided to him about her four years of missing her, and finally had something to happen. The next day, he asked them to separate, because his world is always in the most dangerous place.

In Chechnya's icy world, she heard that he was missing, so she went to search for it all over the distance. Finally saw him dying in the hut guarded by the militants, she miraculously took him to escape in the sudden fire. Just when UN's camp was close at hand, he was overtaken by armed men who came after him. He once again asked her to go first. She refused, but in the end she wanted to leave again in a kiss from him. The militants shot in the back, he was shot and she couldn't help but look back and step on the landmine in just one step. Without knowing the situation, he shouted for her to run away, and she muttered helplessly like an aggrieved child not to come. He was struggling to get closer. With tears in her eyes, she closed her eyes and moved away silently for this man who had been worried about her for 10 years, but had not lived for 10 days. There was a loud noise, and after the black smoke passed, he was knocked down in the snow by the air current, and for a moment he couldn't believe what he had gained and lost.


After that, he was reading her letter in a certain country road in England, and the words separated life and death, saying the simplest words: I love you. There is a smile at the corner of his mouth. This doctor who always fights for the lives of people who don't know each other at the end of the world, there is also a person who is always thinking about him, and is willing to exchange his life for himself. But she still has more precious gifts for the end: their daughter, the reason for him to survive in the ice and snow that day-he watched the little daughter quietly, she was playing the piano he was familiar with. The notes of life will always continue, with unimaginable variations, but still a stretch of beauty.

Recently, I watched many movies of CLIVE OWEN, and I like this late bloomer more and more. The 40-year-old OWEN is not surprisingly handsome, but because of the angular features and wild eyes, he is full of vicissitudes of sex. In the movie, the doctor's several monologues have a sense of stage, and his expression is mostly serious. Some commentaries say that he can only be dull. But it's also difficult for him to always play such a hero, tough guy, tough guy can't express too rich. Based on his past films, his acting skills can stand the test. In the film, it is JOLIE who has the opportunity to show off her acting skills. It is hard to imagine that JOLIE will play such a quiet UN female official who is running for love, and it is even harder to think of her acting so well. As a UN goodwill ambassador, she herself has experience of helping in famine areas, and her motherhood radiates incomparable brilliance in the film. The performance of the emotional drama is also remarkable-when a woman falls in love with a man, it is not necessarily a matter of staying with each other in the day and night, but a year of yearning, and even self-sacrifice in a critical moment. Like
her strength, perhaps it should be called tenacity here. Such a love can attract people's attention to the rescue cause. JOLIE's goodwill ambassador really did his duty.
