film won the Best Screenplay Award at the 16th Saint Denis Film Festival in 2000.
The film tells the story of a brother and sister. A brother and sister whose parents died in a car accident when they were children. After the two became adults, the elder sister worked in a small bank and took care of her son alone, while the younger brother was wandering outside. After a while, the younger brother came home, and he planned to borrow some money from his sister to leave again. However, the girl who made the younger brother miss suicide attempted suicide, and the younger brother stayed at home. My sister's new boss has a lot of rules. My sister often quarrels with him, but the two had a relationship after a dinner. At this time, another man proposed to her. My younger brother had nothing to do every day, so he planned to repair the pipeline in the house, but made a mess. The younger brother also took his sister's children to play billiards late at night, and carried his sister to his biological father, causing a dispute. Because of these, the elder sister drove the younger brother out of the house. A few days later, the sister watched her brother leave her hometown.
Let me start by saying that I didn’t want to watch this movie because of misinformation in China—the movie didn’t win the Best Picture Award at the Saint Denis Film Festival at all. But since it's downloaded, just read it. However, the version I downloaded gave me a headache. The first I downloaded was RMVB, which was obviously a 16:9 screen, but I don't know how the masters compressed it into 4:3! So, I had to download the AVI format again. I never thought that a movie I didn't want to watch would make me so troubled.
Back to the movie. The film is a very traditional Hollywood production. Although it is an independent film, it is not too different from other American films. That is, through the relationship between the two protagonists, the film expresses the complex affection in the American family. On the positive side, the film still has something to say. However, the movie has a big flaw, that is, the characterization is very bad, which makes many parts of the movie look inexplicable.
Not much to say about character building, only the way the male and female protagonists behave. Why does my sister sleep with the boss? Why did my sister refuse to propose? Why does my sister want to have a baby with a bastard man? Why did the elder sister ask the priest to talk to the younger brother? Why did the younger brother and elder sister quarrel with elder sister after smoking and watching the stars? These films have confessions or hints. In addition, the younger brother in the eyes of the elder sister, in my opinion, did not do anything bad: take the child to find a priest, play billiards, fish, etc. These are all normal and are what a relative should do. Therefore, through all the above, I can't feel what the director wants to express at all. My sister and brother are all right. Why is there such a big dispute? Why does my sister drive my brother away? If it's "unreliable", I think it's my sister. There are good men who don't marry, but prefer a married man!
The other aspects of the movie are mediocre, but the music impresses me. The episodes chosen in the film are very close to the plot of the film. Among them, there is a scene where my sister cheats with the boss. The episode actually sings "another woman", which really makes the movie full of jokes and is very interesting. In addition, the town scenery in the film also makes me like it. The narrow streets and familiar crowds look very quiet. Although living in such a small town can be tedious, it is quiet and simple. There are probably many small towns like this in the United States.
The actors are great. Laura Linney's performance is still so real, with the rich emotional expression of a complex woman, and she is particularly beautiful in this film, and she is still young. The actor Mark Ruffalo performed equally well. He portrayed a man with a decadent life and no goals in a real and specific way, especially his eyes, which really looked like a poor man. The others are mediocre, as is Matthew Broderick, who, in the film, feels very old.
in conclusion. This is an independent film with particularly prominent shortcomings, and what it wants to express lacks sufficient content support. Only the performances of the actors and the scenery of the town are worth seeing in the whole film.
