Ancestor's Call

Strangely, all the good movies I've watched lately have to do with large areas of water.

If the brain occasionally touches on the theme of rooting, everything turns into a magical history. The process of recollection is like drowning, in a chaotic and unknown waters, the twisted waves form a mirror, from which we peer into ourselves. Our limbs, breath, and unruly thoughts together make up the texture of life. That is also our future.

When the middle-aged man in American Beauty came here, it seems that everything has not yet begun - he is like a super fetus that has not yet been separated from the mother's body - and continues his life without oxygen and vitality, and it is not a pity that it will end at any time. Fortunately, he met a bad woman - the elf grandmother's demonic power is extremely charming, and she used the fragrant pornography and the blood of death to facilitate the escape of a bad man.

NewFounderLand is a geographically fictional island with heavy snow covering its back. At its desolate end lies a solitary house, bound to the surface of the earth by pirates' ropes, beckoning its stranded deck before the roaring sea. The depressed little girl said it was sad - and it was.

Displaced thugs built this lonely and crazy ancestral home, and they dragged it across the frozen sea. From here, the man of bad luck begins his quest, tempted by the ghosts of his ancestors.

The colors are not too saturated, the sea breeze is strong, and the knife is unsettling.

Love is slowly unfolding, work is groping bit by bit, surrounded by a group of interesting friends, each of whom carries his own past. It may seem like a little story, but the legend of the pirates makes a cowardly soul go wild, and the resurrection of the dead makes the fate of the ancestors bow - guided by the Schering, and change without haste. What a lucky story that everyone found the beacon, and the ancestral home, which was charged with the crime, shattered its own bones on a stormy night - it was meant to be a tomb.

    Quoyle: [father teaching him literally to sink or swim]

    [voice-over]

    Quoyle: I used to imagine that I'd been given to the wrong family at birth, and that somewhere in the world my real people longed for me. From where my father stood, my failure to dog-paddle was only the first of many failures. Failure to speak clearly, failure to sit up straight, failure to make friends every time we moved to another dreary upstate town. In me, my father recognized a failed life. His own.

  • Petal Bear: Look, it's no good. Find yourself a girlfriend.

    Quoyle: I don't want a girlfriend, I want you.

    Petal Bear: [shrugs] Your funeral.
