Watched. In fact, I bought a DVD as early as 2001, but I have never watched it. I wanted to watch it during the period, but maybe because I didn't find the disc, I haven't been able to fulfill my wish. It wasn't until last weekend that I bought the Gome version again, which gave me another chance to sit in front of the screen and spend a wonderful 3 hours.

It is not an exaggeration to say that fortunately, I haven't watched this film in the past few years. Otherwise, in terms of my appreciation level and mentality at the time, I would definitely feel bored or even think that the director is playing mystery. In this way, I might have missed such a wonderful movie. The relationship between the characters cannot be described by coincidence, but the director did not explain it directly and clearly at the beginning. And this is precisely an unsolved mystery left to the audience. But this is not the most fascinating part of the story. The subtlety of the story is that almost all the characters have your, mine, and his character in real life. A dying old man, a middle-aged male caregiver, a young wife, a police officer who has fallen in love, a deeply lost young woman, an elderly host who suffers from cancer but cannot be forgiven by her daughter, and a feeling of being affected by her father A genius child at the mercy of others, a former genius child who is now in a middle-aged crisis and an unachievable gay man, a middle-aged psychology book publisher who broke with his father due to the death of his mother...In other words, this Although it is a movie, maybe this is the story that happened between all kinds of people around you and me. The characters carry the joys and sorrows of our ordinary people. The power of reality is the most shocking and shocking. Therefore, it is the reason that is more thought-provoking!

The climax of the film appeared at 139 minutes. When the characters were in a dilemma, the voice of Aimee Mann appeared in the background, and all the characters sang the song in unison.. Realistic punches hit my chest straight. It makes me feel short of breath and powerless.

    Multi-line stories are integrated into one movie, the plot is really exciting, but the rhythm is a bit slow
