This is a classic story about a young man's experience: running away - falling in love - discovering himself, based on John Irving's best-selling novel, which is also his best novel.

The story tells the story of Homer, an orphan who lost his parents, who was raised and educated in an orphanage by a doctor, Luckey, who had a special kind of affection between them. But Larch taught Homer a lot about medicine, but he didn't teach him about right and wrong and about life. Now that Homer is an adult, he is concerned about his future and longs for the outside world. When he walked into this big world, he found a lot of new and exciting things, especially when he tasted the taste of love for the first time, he realized that what he knew before was too little.

However, as his new life begins, he constantly finds the collision between the present he faces and his past. It was only then that he gradually felt that his past had deeply affected his future.

In this film, we can find the shadow of our own growth, our desire for the outside world, our desire to realize our dreams, the surprise of first entering the society, and a period of infiltration. The psychological impact, loss, confusion, thinking, and finally find myself. The rhythm of the film is slow, the music is good, and it is worth watching. The film won seven Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Art Direction, Best Film Editing, Best Original Music, and Best Adapted Screenplay in 1999.
