I know the name of the movie from the book "Story", and I am used to the sensory stimulation of suspense movies and action movies. At first, I really felt that the tone of the movie was too bland, which was basically the same as the plot of the movie introduction. However, until I watched it patiently After finishing, I can feel the metaphor of the movie to life. It is like life but not life. I feel that the name "Tender Mercy" fits the theme of the movie. The protagonist Mike can be said to be very lucky. From the seemingly bland dialogues in the movie, we know that Mike has experienced ups and downs in his life, and once basically gave up on himself, but he was fortunate enough to meet the angel Rosa, she She doesn't understand music, but she did her best to give Mike warmth. Music, love and spirit are subtly integrated. There is no violent language or behavioral conflict. Everything is peaceful and natural. Even if the situation between people is so different, it can still transmit warmth through some power. Whether it's Mike and his fans, Mike and his gentle wife Rosa, or Mike's ex-wife and daughter, Mike and her daughter, even Rosa and Mike's daughter, and Rosa's son's feelings for Mike, they all seem warm, natural and reasonable. . I don't want to sublimate the theme of the film, and I can't describe it with film techniques or lens language, but it can make people intuitively feel that "meaningful things" related to life are happening, even if Mike is hit hard by life again - His precious daughter passed away unexpectedly, we still believe that grief can be hidden in our hearts, but life goes on...

    I finally appreciated the piece my mom and I talked about for n years, full of New Hollywood author marks, but also very realistic, the worldview of Southern Christians, the striking bald head at Duvall's baptism, and the taste of life is all in it...comparison "Crazy Heart" can be said to be idolized. Here, Tess, who has paved the way for a long time, was not even allowed to sing together on the stage. It is a great luck that a marriage started with pragmatic reciprocity can discover the connection of musical love. . I can accept country music very well (don't tell me after 2000, that doesn't count), it can be regarded as a family nurture... I was pleasantly surprised to find that the photography was taken by Peter Weir's old comrade-in-arms Russell Boyd. That turf is really like Christina's world. The small band leader who came to find the male lead was actually my Shuangfeng autistic male paper Harold, and my wild and earthy daughter Ellen Barkin is so beautiful. There is no substitute singer in it, Duvall also wrote a few songs by himself, but his voice is indeed haha ​​No wonder it is set to be the hero writer behind the scenes of his ex-wife

    Life is full of art, a man is a husband and a wife, we all have no user manual, but happy families are similar, but what is the similarity? This movie gave us some thoughts

Tender Mercies quotes

  • Sue Anne: There was a song you used to sing to me when I was little, I think. It was somethin' about a dove. Mama said she never heard you sing it to me, but - I think it went somethin' about a "on the wings of a snow-white dove, he sends his somethin'-somethin' love."

    Mac Sledge: I don't remember that. I don't.

  • Mac Sledge: [singing] When Jesus went down, To the waters that day, He was baptized, In the usual way, When it was done, God blessed his soul, He sent him his love, On the wings of a dove, On the wings of a snow-white dove, He sends his pure sweet love, A sign from above, On the wings of a dove...
