leave, goodbye.

I bought this disc a long time ago, but never watched it. I vaguely remember that I decided to buy it because I had seen one of its introductions: a movie that unfolds from the perspective of memory, looking back on the past and starting again...
Yesterday, I finally watched this movie. Maybe only a person with the identity of the hero of the movie could start to fall into the endless river of memories when he was in his thirties because of the changes in things and people around him.
Daniel Craig's outdated Hollywood star Joey Scott, who has nothing else to do but hang out with drug dealers and prostitutes in a mansion by the beach all day, receives a phone call from his hometown. His mother calmly told him that his childhood friend had passed away, and he fell into endless memories on this fine morning. He decided to go back to his hometown to say goodbye to his friend for the last ride.
It's a pity that he still missed his friend's funeral when he finally returned to his hometown, and the changes in his hometown also made him slowly meet the years he spent with his friends when he was young in the river of memory...
Remember him In the scene when he was young and decided to run away from home, in the backlit afternoon, with his luggage on his back, he decided to leave everything around him and chase his dream. After so many years, he returned to his hometown again, but he began to doubt it at that time. His own decision, maybe he doesn't leave, life may be another wonderful, right? This is just a thought, and he will never go back.
Say goodbye to the old man, go on the road again, leave your hometown, and continue to return to your own life.

    He always knew his place in the world, which is the most outstanding quality of a man. The change of the male protagonist is implicit but not exaggerated, and the handling of the character change is the biggest highlight of the film. By the way, old love is still the most beautiful! What is this TM translation?

    What a corny plot. . . . For this kind of small-town boy's return to his hometown, it's enough to read a little radish Downey's guide to the saints. . . . And the head and tail are cut off, Dandan has very few shots???
