The warmth and pseudo-documentary of the past

There was a lot of paving in the front, but it didn't make people realize that the old man committed suicide in the back, but slowly realized it through the memories in the back. The main theme feels a bit like conveying the feelings of "Human Ghosts Are Unending Love", but there is no description of the old man’s feelings for his wife in the whole film. It can only be said that the pranks of the two little kids happened to be with the wife. Something happened during his lifetime, but it was a coincidence. I can only say that the two little kids didn't expect it.

Another point is that it satirizes the corrupt culture of contemporary young people. They gain popularity and sense of existence by spoofing others and beautifying their own behavior. However, this has been properly judged at the end of the film, but the two kids are also unlucky enough. Yes, they thought they were acting in a suspense film, but in fact this is a warm film, killing is still illegal.

The Good Neighbor quotes

  • Officer Palmer: Got a noise complaint, you mind if I come in?

    Harold Grainey: Um, yeah, yeah I do.

    [smiles faintly]

  • Harold Grainey: [as barking dog runs to fallen trash can] Get out of here! Get out of here, you half-breed.

    [dog growls]

    Harold Grainey: Shut up!

    [as owner catches up]

    Harold Grainey: Get him out of here!

    Neighbor: Hey, come on - what's the problem here, man?

    Harold Grainey: What's the problem? Well, the problem is that your dog is pissing a mess on my property. Let him piss on your property, okay?

    Neighbor: [to still-barking dog] Come on, easy, easy...

    Harold Grainey: Maybe I should teach him a lesson. Keep that son of a bitch on a leash, okay? Because the next time, if it happens again, I'm going to cut him in four pieces and send him home in this can.

    [tense silence]

    Neighbor: [to dog, while looking at Grainey] Let's go, boy.
