"Jack Go Boating"

Sometimes it is better to let the drama stay in the theater. Characters, character relationships, and conflict climax are displayed along with the actors' coherent improvisational performances. This kind of a little weird mood is most suitable for theater.

The movie script does not provide more points of interest in audio and video. Although a lot of beautiful songs and excellent soundtracks are added, Philip Seymour Hoffman can only be ineffective in directing the tube, except for a few paragraphs about learning to swim. It feels like a movie.

    The little freshness of middle-aged people, Hoffman’s directorial debut, about love and marriage, the film uses an imaginative concept. We can imagine the future as much as we can, but reality is not necessarily the case, just like the well-planned dinner party will change. It's a mess, and the marriage in reality is far from the imagination. Adapted from the play of the same name, this is not a successful transplant. The story is too deliberate and lacks emotional authenticity.

    PHILIP's maiden director is so artistic and obscure.

Jack Goes Boating quotes

  • Jack: This always happens.

    Clyde: What?

    Jack: Whenever there's anything good, it fucks up.

    Clyde: It fucked up, but it fucked up because *we* forgot.

    Jack: No, you fucked it up because you made a fucking toast!

    Clyde: Because I love you. We all love you. We forgot the food because you were being loved. That's the important thing to remember.

    Clyde: Have you thought about it? I think you should.

    Jack: What does she do there?

    Clyde: She's the assistant to the embalmer.

    Jack: Oh no.

    Clyde: Something with the fluids.

    Jack: No. Ugh.

    Clyde: No, man. Lucy's training her to sell seminars with Dr. Bob. She calls the funeral directors - phone sales.

    Jack: Cool. What's her name?

    Clyde: Connie. So I'll tell Lucy it's on.
