Most importantly, only family

Aunt Mei is worthy of being one of the greatest actresses in film history.

The film is slow and long, but not boring, the changes in Alan’s mental journey are not abrupt, the film does not have any major conflicts, and some are just plain touches in life.

Mom is undoubtedly the strongest one in the film. Mom said that Alan is like a father. However, Alan’s strength is actually inherited from his mother. When his younger brother was afraid to tell his father that he was almost relegated to the university, Alan bravely said that he gave up. For his own business, Allen bravely questioned his father's unfaithfulness, Allen has been caring for his mother, doing everything his mother has done, taking care of this family, Allen has been growing up,

On the other hand, the male in the play is really not worth mentioning. The father really loves his mother Kate. He will bring the porch dinner to the house for his wife and create romance. But he is still unfaithful when his wife is seriously ill. Dare to face the fact that his wife is about to pass away, have been evading in the tavern, he does nothing except work, he can't even do his own laundry, and the day when the family should be together at Christmas brought back the famous for himself The irony is that the writer does not remember his work, the congratulatory message does not mention Alan’s contribution and hard work, his father is a selfish and cowardly person,

And Allen’s boyfriend is an even more disgusting character. When Allen is sad at Christmas, he flickers with other women in person, and even says that it is Allen’s not. After returning to New York, he immediately cohabited with another woman. It’s really true. Disgusting,

The only commendable thing in the play is Ellen’s younger brother. Even his mother is the only brother in this family who is willing to listen to her. Ellen and his father are impatient. The younger brother will gladly accept the mother’s enthusiasm and will rely on her mother. I like to be a cos writer who can be caring as a younger brother. He still inherited his father's cowardice. He didn't dare to tell his father his failure. Who is perfect as a human being?

In the film, mother Kate’s love for her family is moving, especially when he said to Allen, "If I can know you will be happy, I would close my eyes now", which makes people cry.

The most important thing in the world is only my family,

One True Thing quotes

  • Kate Gulden: [dressed as Dorothy] Welcome! There's no place like home!

    Ellen Gulden: [silently, to herself] Thank God.

  • Kate Gulden: It's so much easier to be happy, my love. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, and you have so much, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is you're imagining you're missing. It's so much more peaceful.
