Plain and warm is affection

This is a very flat, warm family film. The story of father Frank, who missed his children after his wife passed away, and set foot on the road to visit them regardless of his health.

When I came to each child's side, I found that the children's bright and bright characters were just white lies made up to make their parents not worried.

The eldest son, the painter, died of an overdose of contraband; the youngest son, the conductor, was actually just a drummer in the corner of the orchestra; the eldest daughter, the perfect family, was actually separated from her husband; the youngest daughter, a dancer, was just an ordinary waiter and had a child.

In order not to worry about their father, they all tried their best to hide the sadness of their current life and try to pretend to be happy. Just like all the children in the world, the good news is not the bad news.

Children and parents always grasp the scale of being difficult to get along with. They obviously love each other, but there is always such a layer of separation.

I hope that the parents of every family will not give their children excessive or even stressful love. Every child can hide nothing from their parents, tell their own thoughts, and not let their parents worry. Family love is like this, plain and light, always lingering by your side.

Everybody's Fine quotes

  • Young Man in Diner #1: I'm 94. I keep away from the doctors.

    Frank Goode: Boy.

    Young Man in Diner #1: I have three children, six grandchildren. They're busy. They're too busy to talk to me. I gotta make an appointment. They got lost some place. They don't need anybody. People changed, life is changed. Today, you shake hands with somebody, you gotta count your fingers to make sure you got five fingers back.

  • Amy: I tell you the good news and spare you the bad. Isn't that what mom used to do for you when we were kids?
