The road movie The Lucky Ones, three unfamiliar soldiers who returned to their hometown from the Iraq War get together by accident. During the short four-day road trip, they shared each other's misfortune and encouraged each other. When the mouths get together again. The warm and touching atmosphere and the relaxed and comfortable mood always run through it. At the end of the film, when the three meet again and return to Iraq, they find that fate has scattered them all over Iraq.
As a film without too much A movie with many plots and ups and downs, the peaceful and warm atmosphere always surrounds three hapless Lucky Ones: a Fred who returned home from the army but found that he had no home; a TK who suffered from ED but was ashamed to talk about it; a limping And with a big guitar, Finding Neverland's Colee. Three seemingly completely different people from New York to St. Louis to Salt Lake City to finally Vegas, a bar fight, a birthday party affair, and that "cure" "The wonderful ice storms and tornadoes of the ED, and those Sex Workers for Free. The end of the wonderful and sweet journey was two more times in Vegas, and the first separation did not bring the three to their previous goals. On the contrary, after a detour, we get together again.
The warm process cannot hide the thought-provoking thinking of this film. As a soldier in the Iraq War, although people are surrounded by people saying Thank You on the left and thank You on the right, but how many people are there? Being able to truly understand the respect and at least a peaceful life they deserve, the derailment from real life makes them have to go back to the other side of the earth again, where can they feel tolerant and accepted.
30 days After the holiday, everything went back to the past, everyone's experience was so deviated from the perfect track separately, but in the process, the three of them really spent together together, only people with the same experience can To realize another kind of perfection under imperfection. Isn't this luck in misfortune?
