At the beginning of the film, the camera is facing a middle-aged man who walks strangely, slowly pacing forward in a small building materials warehouse, and found that this man is John Cusack, secretly surprised, how can I remember the elegant and charming library Sack became like this. Looking at it slowly, I felt that it should be like this. Cusack played the unwilling, forbearing husband who loved his wife and children deeply. I really want those new generation idol actors to think about the acting skills of their predecessors. .
The plot of the movie is very, very simple. A husband who gets news of his wife's death and two unwitting daughters drive a few days across half of the United States to a theme park in the South. The actors are three people, and the scene is a car. The eldest daughter, Heidi, is 13 years old. She is precocious. The most impressive thing is that on the night when she vaguely guessed the news of her mother's death, she sat alone on the roadside outside the hotel for a whole night. The posture of sitting in a hug made the thin girl seemed so helpless.
The youngest daughter, Dawn, is 8 years old, innocent and cute. The little girl kept thinking about getting her ears pierced. The stubborn father insisted on getting her pierced until she was 13 years old. The mother showed her pierced ears, the mother looked at her strangely, and said "oh, it's nice, sweety" In fact, she wanted to share the news with her mother, and how could a woman on the road give her motherly In response, Dawn was disappointed and aggrieved and hid in the plastic hut in the supermarket. When the anxious Cusack found her, she said "I miss mum" She didn't know yet, but the audience knew that her mother was no longer in this world. Well, so we and Cusack struggled together and didn't know how to answer.
The stan played by Cusack will constantly call home during the trip, listening to the voice message recorded by his wife before his death on the answering machine, "This is the home of ..., now we are not here, please leave a message if you have anything." , and then report on the current itinerary, saying that the children are fine with him, as if his wife is still alive.
Grace is the name of the heroine's wife in the play, which was translated as happiness in translation. Grace is gone SO grace is gone. This character died on the battlefield in Iraq as an officer. In the play, except for a photo and a phone call recording, she did not really appear, but her image can still be imagined. Thanks to the excellent acting skills of the three actors, we were convinced She has an irreplaceable place in the hearts of her husband and two children.
At the beginning and end of the film, there is a "beep" from the electronic watch. This is a time agreed by the little daughter Dawn and her mother to let each other know that at this time every day, they miss each other at the same moment.
