is the type of film that tells several small stories at the same time under the big background. There is a slight interaction among several small stories, but they are basically independent.
Same in LA, same Christmas, different experience of poor people.
Line 1 tells the story of the priest played by Forest Whitaker, who found his true love, but was tragically hit by a car accident on the way home from marriage.
Line 2 tells the story of a terminally ill father returning from his sentence to find and protect his daughter.
Line 3 tells the story of a stripper who earns money to save her son who is already in a vegetative state.
Line 4 tells the story of a guy in the funeral industry who is on the verge of bankruptcy and can't find love.
Lines 2, 3 and 4 meet more often. The stripper is the daughter, and the guy also fell in love with the dancer. The only interaction between Line 1 and other stories is that I have asked the guy to kill him, so I think it is because Forest is the producer that added such a line, but Forest's performance is very good, telling the story very true, and the other line And Lisa Kudrow appeared, haha, seeing old friends on the big screen always feels very kind.
It's a good movie to watch, but I always feel that the story is relatively artificial, especially the second line, but I really like the symbol of the child's death at the end of the film accompanied by the intimacy between the dancer and the boy. The death of the child is the end of the past. , everything starts again, or let this desperate film reveal a glimmer of hope, don't bring complete black to Christmas.
