The director’s consistent style, the story of a small place

I have to say, kevin spacy has been so many years, not old yet. Really, watching the film he shot in 01 today, thirteen years later, he will always be that face. He is really a bit gay, a bit motherly, warm, suitable for a frustrated or psychopathic role.
The story itself is a story of a person escaping from the big city of New York to a seaside town and finding a spiritual belonging. Director Lesser is too good at this kind of film, like "Love Haven", like "Different Sky", Xiao The place is closed, but people care about each other and become one. For example, the editor-in-chief of the Newfoundland newspaper actually taught Qouyle to write the headline. Is this possible in other places?
In this small place, it seems that every middle-aged person has a story, even the elderly. For the first time, I found out that Judi Dench had acted as a lesbian. I like the editor-in-chief of the newspaper very much, the old guy who likes to play with his own boat alone at sea. He has a personality charm, like the soul of a small town.
To be honest, I don't like Julia Moore, I always think she looks too pale (of course this is a personal like or dislike, and has nothing to do with the plot). The colleagues in that newspaper are also very cute. The people in the small town are harmonious, helping each other, and respecting each other. Who is willing to leave a place like this? Or when you want to leave, you find that others can't bear you anymore.
As for the one thing I didn't understand, what is the meaning of the pirate history of the qouyle family and the old house? Is it because the uniqueness of their family and the house symbolize the memory of the past? It needs to be analyzed by more viewers.

    Quoyle: [father teaching him literally to sink or swim]

    [voice-over]

    Quoyle: I used to imagine that I'd been given to the wrong family at birth, and that somewhere in the world my real people longed for me. From where my father stood, my failure to dog-paddle was only the first of many failures. Failure to speak clearly, failure to sit up straight, failure to make friends every time we moved to another dreary upstate town. In me, my father recognized a failed life. His own.

  • Petal Bear: Look, it's no good. Find yourself a girlfriend.

    Quoyle: I don't want a girlfriend, I want you.

    Petal Bear: [shrugs] Your funeral.
