Good things are worth waiting for

Sixteen years ago, Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio were two young faces.
Gilbert, played by Johnny, can't see the usual libertine. He has become a filial child who is under the pressure of life. He has no smile and is always preoccupied.
Leonardo has had such a clear appearance and such a brilliant performance, I have
never seen him play so well... Juliette Lewis is always special and mysterious. The Becky she played is cute and smart, and one look makes people move.

The father is gone, the mother is obese, the youngest son is mentally retarded... The troublesome things that the whole family are talking about are the theme.
There is no story about the story, it is about your life and mine.
A home to worry about, work day after day, entangled past affairs, a girl with love...
But, it doesn't matter, everyone is like this, it may be worse than yours...

However, no matter how frustrating life is, there is warmth and love in it.
Life can be different if you want to.
The family can be closer, the work can be changed, the past can be said goodbye, the beloved girl can meet again...
When I was almost hopeless and sighed, I saw those bright smiling faces full of hope.

Love the pair Gilbert and Becky.
The tacit eyes when looking at each other, the ambiguity that pervades when facing each other, the sweet warmth when hugging each other...
The person who likes you must make you warm.
How beautiful and romantic the two of them are sitting by the haystack watching the sunset...

The movie with a special name, I wanted to see it years ago, I downloaded it a few months ago, and only watched it a few days ago.
Good things are worth waiting for.
I like the feeling of being immersed in it gradually, as if I can't forget it after watching Miss Little Sunshine and The Station Agent...
Moreover, the music in it is still floating in my mind...I

want to say one more thing, the 19-year-old Leonardo surprised me. In
this film, no one played rough, and his style almost overshadowed Johnny,
Obviously an indisputable acting school, what happened to him later...

    Suddenly I saw someone write that there are cracks in life, and the sun shines in. Gilbert is like a lot of people, including myself. A house looks so small from a distance, but it is so big when you enter it. Gilbert said he didn't know what to say, but it was the most real existence he had ever spoken. Depp was wonderful at that time, and Leonardo had amazing acting skills at that time. I like this movie, I like it very much.

  • Becky: It's a praying mantis. Do you know how they mate? The male will sneak up on the female and she'll bite off his head and the rest of his body will keep on mating and when they're done... She'll eat him. She'll eat the rest of him.
