The empty mirrors in the film account for a large proportion, walking through the film like an important character, adding weight to the film. If there was an Oscar for best shot, it would go to the shores of Manchester. Emotions are the core of a movie, and everything serves emotions. The empty mirrors in this film are no worse than a seasoned actor. Of course, this can be said to be the credit of the photographer or the editor. . The gloomy, empty, and repressed emotions are beyond the reach of Casey Affleck, who plays Lee.

And the music of this film seems to be like a teenager crying by the sea, the sadness is so pure and thorough.

The boldness of the editing in this film allows memories to be interspersed at will, without any prompts and routines. But it is similar to simulating the state of mind of a real person. The seemingly chaotic editing makes the film more charming, allowing the film's emotions to jump naturally without being bound by any form.

    I can see that Oscar is a collection of five blessings, so vulgar with no friends. This kind of mourning thing that must be mourned, some people even say that this is life

Manchester by the Sea quotes

  • Lee Chandler: You know, I've seen a school of sharks tear a boat to pieces like it was made of cardboard because some kid threw a band-aid in the water.

    Patrick: Oh, yeah...

    Lee Chandler: Yeah, he did! Sometimes the only way to keep them off is to throw the kid directly in the ocean to distract them!

    Patrick: Shut up. Sharks don't even swim in schools!

    Lee Chandler: Huh? He says sharks don't swim in schools. Smart kid.

  • Patrick: You were a tremendous help.

    Lee Chandler: I didn't ask to sit down there.

    Patrick: You can't make small talk like every other grown-up in the world?

    Lee Chandler: No.

    Patrick: You can't talk about boring bullshit for half an hour? "Hey, how about those interest rates?" "Hey, I lost my Triple A card." Like everybody else?

    Lee Chandler: No, sorry.

    [pause]

    Patrick: You're a fucking asshole.
