I have to admit, it's a good movie. From the plot to the acting to the soundtrack, the atmosphere changed naturally and smoothly from the harmony of a family of four to the unbearable weight of the son's life after the accident.
But I have to admit that I only see 67 minutes of it now, and I can't continue watching without saying something. Because it is unacceptable, when encountering a major life event such as the accidental death of a family member, how can a psychiatrist adjust his mentality without rest at all, and continue to counsel patients in the midst of sadness, regret and resentment? And not to discontinue counseling or make a referral if the client is no longer a match for you? This is irresponsible to the patient, to myself, and to the profession. The profession of psychiatrist requires him to adjust his mental balance and treat clients with a peaceful and stable attitude after entering the consultation room. The balance in your heart has been out of balance, how can you help those who come to you because of trust?
Especially seeing the doctor speak cold words to the lung cancer patient and cry bitterly when the female patient talks, I really can't resonate, understand or sympathize with the doctor. Although it is said that art comes from life, it is higher than life. But when art and life are in conflict, the point of conflict can easily separate itself from art.
I can feel the tense grief throughout the play, the deep nostalgia and sadness in everyone's heart. Just because of this background setting, I really can't be moved. Some regrets. Maybe I should adjust my mood and watch it again...

It can be seen from the three-minute short film in "Everyone Has His Movie" that Nanni Moretti is a very emotional director who can accurately control his emotions. It is not sensational and moving, and it is difficult to use words The emotions expressed are all contained in various details. At the end, the scene moves slowly into the distance. A family of three walks leisurely by the seaside, which is so healing. 2001 was also the year of Cannes.

For us, the pain of losing a loved one will never be understood until we have lost it too. The film is slow and seems too long, but when Dad stood in the crowd, frowning, and he was surrounded by laughter, I think I had a feeling in my heart that was born for him.
