"From the Heart" can only start over

Trying to have someone who can't tell the story to you is very likely to have a subversive understanding of the story, which may not be a bad thing. Sometimes what we want is not necessarily what we can get, and what we get is not necessarily what we need. Knowing how to ignore and know how to accept may be a good thing.

I watched Charlie ride an electric scooter with a headset on, traveling alone in the noisy city, as if I understood his figure. Later, when I revisited the scene that kept appearing, I actually believed that it must be the indescribable "turn the page" that was hiding in Charlie's headset to soothe Charlie's heart. It came from the love sealed in Charlie's heart and from my fantasy. , I am moved.

After watching the movie, I tried to understand the fact that Charlie has experienced the pain of losing a loved one, and he can no longer face the future, so he chose to live like a walking dead. Then he pretended to understand, and gradually realized that his understanding was empty. It is certainly not wrong for onlookers, but it seems that such words are used to describe people who have experienced the story, and describe a mortal who lost his wife and three daughters in an instant. However, how can we deny the fact that we can share the joys but not the hardships? Everyone stands on a different stage to interpret life, all the feelings are untouchable loneliness, thinking that resonance is actually not the case at all.

9/11 is a disaster of the century, and people who are happy may never experience the torment that is on the verge of collapse. The lingering, physical, and even more from the depths of the soul. War, interests, and money have left this supposedly harmonious society riddled with blemishes and tears, and accusing human beings of cannibalism may be the intention of the film's director and screenwriter.

If the theme is like this, the heaviness of the story is diluted, and the vividness without reducing the depth lies in the setting of other characters in the film. Every face mask hides pitiful pain and unbearableness, as well as the psychology that we must face up to. problem.

Johnson complained about the lack of freedom in a married life. Charlie's words were like a mirror, reflecting the hearts of the two at this time, "Do you want to know what impression you gave me when you were in college?" "No one dared to provoke you, No one else can bully you." In the face of life, no one can hold their head high forever. In the Chinese restaurant, the seemingly abnormal Charlie responded to Johnson's complaints about work and family with words of wisdom. At this moment, I don't know who has suffered more internal injuries.

Johnson gradually regained his calm, trying to vent his inner dissatisfaction rationally.
"I hate my current job, the pay is good, but I swear to God I hate putting dentures on people who are hypocritical. I'm a dentist yes, people need me, I can help people in need, and I can understand them , I also have a sense of accomplishment. But for some assholes, I just want to slap them in the face and let them roll on the street. You know, they need more treatment than teeth."
Wonderful language, vividly shows our life , full of stress, irritability, exhaustion, a rubble after life has been emptied!

Still in this scene, Charlie's "I'm worried about you" is intriguing. At this time, luck and misfortune, strength and vulnerability, normal people and mental illnesses, in my opinion, have no meaning to distinguish, ironically makes people speechless. At that moment, the picture only stayed in Johnson's eyes looking at Charlie, the flowing, silent air was like a silent sob in the night.

When everything was quiet, the music sounded slowly. Although the three pieces of music in this film are not classics, they also have a magic power, which cooperates with the picture and moistens the heart.
I don’t want to talk about the tears that make people cry. The way different people are moved and the weaknesses that can be penetrated are naturally different. It's just that I can still remember Charlie coming out of the psychiatrist Angela's office, sitting next to Johnson and having a hard time remembering the good things he once had for the first time...

At the end of the story, Charlie's The monologues made by his father-in-law are as beautiful as fireworks, smashing through the listener's sensory cells. All three of them have lost loved ones and there is no right or wrong here.

When those who once had everything have lost everything, how can the past be erased? All the laughter and laughter outside reminds yourself all the time that your life is not what it used to be. At this time, I choose to forget how positive a distress message it should be. But we turned around and found that Charlie had never forgotten, video games, the kitchen that has been repainted countless times, and the only "order" from his wife - the house rule that you must take off your shoes, these are all left in the memory, can't Secrets to share with people.

After all, the film did not let us off-screen despair, aside from social problems, at least Charlie's frequent glances back at Rema, like a child in early love, moved me again. We should believe that the wounded heart will always be healed, just open the heart and start from the heart.

Adam Sandler, I don't know how to praise him, one of my favorite stars, outside the box of comedy, he can also make money with a serious face, this Jewish guy in Hollywood has his own movie world.

    To be honest, I'm a little disappointed~ But Adam Sandler's performance is still very good, I hope this man will make more films like this in the future

    After 9/11, the post-September America’s post-disaster spiritual reconstruction movies are all over the world. Aside from the conservative and serious academic style, these themes can be regarded as the main theme of the United States, right? Adam Sandler put away his usual ghost-horse style and played a widower whose soul is waiting to be saved. Who says comedians have acting skills? Sandler's performance is a powerful counterattack!
